Most certainly in Yusuf and his brothers there are Signs for the inquirers. |
| 8
Behold, they said: "Certainly Yusuf and his brother are dearer
to our father than us, though we are a band. Surely our father is
in an obvious error." |
| 9
"Kill Yusuf or banish him to a land, so that your father's face
may turn intimately to you, and you may become thereafter a good people!" |
| 10
A speaker among them said: "Do not kill Yusuf, rather throw him
into the bottom of a well, so that some travellers may pick him up,-
if you are going to do." |
| 11
They said: "O our Dad! what is the matter with you that you do
not trust us with Yusuf, while we are surely his sincere well-wishers? |
| 12
"Send him with us tomorrow that he may enjoy himself and play,
and surely we are to him good guardians." |
| 13
He said: "Surely it grieves me that you should take him away,
and I fear that a wolf may devour him, while you become inattentive
of him." |
| 14
They said: "Why, if a wolf should devour him- while we are a
band- we should certainly then be the losers!" |
| 15
Then when they took him away and agreed to put him into the well,
We then revealed to him: "You will certainly inform them of this
act of theirs, while they will not recognize." |
| 16
And they came to their father at nightfall weeping. |
| 17
They said: "O our Dad! we happened to go off racing with one
another, and we left Yusuf near our provisions, then a wolf devoured
him; but you are not going to be a believer to us even though we are
truthful." |
| 18
And they came with false blood on his shirt. He said: "In fact,
your souls have made up this matter for you. Therefore patience is
elegant. And Allah- His help is sought for against what you describe." |
| 19
And there came travellers, and they sent their water-carrier, so he
let down his bucket. He said: "O good gracious! Here is a boy!"
And they concealed him as a merchandise. And Allah was Cognizant of
what they did. |
| 20
And they sold him for a paltry price- a number of Dirhams. And they
were holder of low estimation for him. |

Most certainly in (the story of) Yusuf and his brothers
there are Signs (of your claim to nabihood) for the inquirers
(about your fate; seeing that the chief men of Makkah have
conspired against your life). |
| 8
Behold, they (-the brothers) said (amongst them):
"Certainly Yusuf and his brother (Binyamin, by the
same mother) are dearer to our father than us, though we
are a (stronger) band (and more active in our affairs).
Surely our father is in an obvious error (in showing such
partiality)." |
| 9
(One of them said:) "(Better you) kill Yusuf or banish
him to a (foreign) land, so that your father's face
(i.e. his attention) may turn intimately to you, and
(that) you may (get enough scope to) become thereafter
a good people (by pretence or by repentance)!" |
| 10
A speaker among them (who was less cruel and more worldly
wise) said: "(Why should you break a butterfly on
the wheel, so) do not kill Yusuf (and do not undertake
the risk of being a murderer, if you intend simply to get rid
of him), rather throw him into the bottom of a well (deep
enough to prevent him from coming up), so that some travellers
may pick him up (and take him away),- (do it) if you
are going to do (something worth doing, Gen. 37:22)." |
| 11
(After drawing this stratagem, they came to their father and)
they said: "O our Dad! what is the matter with you that
you do not trust us with Yusuf, while we are surely his sincere
well-wishers? |
| 12
"Send him with us tomorrow that he may enjoy himself and
play, and surely we are to him good guardians (and we shall
guard him well)." |
| 13
(He realized that if they were driven to open hostility, it
is certain that they would cause him harm, so) he said
(giving a cue, 12:17,91): "Surely it grieves me that
you should take him away, and I fear that (if the worst
comes to the worst) a wolf may devour him, while you become
inattentive of him (by being absorbed in play)." |
| 14
They said: "Why, if a wolf should devour him- while
we are (so strong and stout) a band- we (ourselves)
should certainly then be the losers!" |
| 15
Then when they took him away (in the name of game) and
agreed to put him into the well, We then revealed to him: "(All
is good that We send you, so) you will (one day be the
master of your present oppressors and)certainly inform them
of this act of theirs, while they will not recognize (you
for your very high status in comparison with them, 12:58,89)." |
| 16
And (realizing the psychology that where children stand
still, they have done some ill) they came to their father
at nightfall weeping (shedding plenty of crocodile tears,
to show that they had been searching for Yusuf the whole day). |
| 17
They said: "O our Dad! we happened to go off racing
with one another, and we left Yusuf near our provisions, then
a wolf devoured him; but you (are receiving the news with
cold incredulity, and) are not going to be a believer to
us even though we are truthful (on the matter)." |
| 18
And they came with false blood on his shirt. He (understood
that there had been some foul play, so he) said: "In
fact, your souls have made up this matter for you. Therefore
(come, sweet patience !) patience is elegant (which
is a plaster for all sores, and the best remedy for grief).
And (while all is good that Heaven sends us) Allah- His
help is sought for against what you describe (and in time
He will produce for me the sweet fruits for the bitter patience
I am having now, Gen. 37:11)." |
| 19
And there came (a caravan of) travellers (on way
to Egypt with merchandise), and they sent their water-carrier
(to fetch water), so he let down his bucket (into this
well, and as he hauled it up, Yusuf came up with the bucket).
He (being surprised finding a handsome youth as his haul)
said: "O good gracious! Here is a boy!" And they
concealed him as a merchandise (for sale). And Allah
was Cognizant of what they did. |
| 20
And they sold him (to the Aziz of Egypt) for a paltry
price- a number of (easily counted) Dirhams (-silver
coins). And they were holder of low estimation for him
(to keep him with them, Gen. 37:28). |
