And Yusuf's brothers came, so they entered in to him, and he recognized
them, but they were not cognizant of him. |
| 59
And when he provided them with their provision, he said: "Bring
me your brother on your father's side. Do you not see that I give
full measure and that I am the best of hosts? |
| 60
"But if you do not bring him to me then there will be no measure
for you from me, and do not approach me." |
| 61
They said: "We shall shortly ask his father for him, and we shall
certainly be doers." |
| 62
And he told his boys: "Put their cash in their baggage that they
may recognize it when they go back to their family, so that they may
come back." |
| 63
So when they returned to their father, they said: "O our Dad!
measure has been denied to us; therefore send with us our brother
that we may obtain measure, and we are surely guardians over him." |
| 64
He said: "Can I trust you with him except as I trusted you with
his brother before? But Allah is the best Guardian; and He is the
most Rewarding of those who are the givers of rewards." |
| 65
And when they opened their goods they found their cash returned to
them. They said: "O our Dad! what do we want? Here is our cash
returned to us, and we shall bring rations for our family, and we
shall take care of our brother, and we shall add the measure of a
camel. This is an easy load." |
| 66
He said: "I shall not send him with you until you give me Allah's
covenant, that you will certainly bring him back to me, unless you
be encompassed." So that when they had given him their promise,
he said: "Allah is the Keeper of what we say." |
| 67
And he said: "O my sons! do not enter by a single gate, but enter
you by different gates. And I cannot avail you anything against Allah.
Judgment belongs to none but Allah. Upon Him do I rely and upon Him
should then rely all the reliants." |
| 68
And when they entered as their father had ordered them, it did not
avail them anything against Allah, but it was a wish in the heart
of Ya'qub which he fulfilled. And he was in fact possessor of knowledge
on account of what We had taught him, but most men do not know. |

And (then a famine started in Egypt and in its neighboring
countries, while Yusuf was fully prepared with his granaries
to combat it, and was selling corn to help other countries,
when) Yusuf's (step-)brothers came (to procure
corn), so they entered in to him, and he recognized them,
but they were not cognizant of him (as to them Yusuf is
already dead or is living in oblivion). |
| 59
And when he provided them with their provision (on per capita
basis), he said: "Bring me your brother (Binyamin)
on your father's side (about whom you had mentioned to
me). Do you not see that I give full measure (counting
on every head) and that I am the best of hosts? |
| 60
"But if you do not bring him to me then there will be
no (further) measure (of corn) for you from me
(on his account), and do not approach me (for your
brother's share)." |
| 61
They said: "We shall shortly ask his father for him,
and we shall certainly be doers (of it)." |
| 62
And he told his boys (i.e. the attending servants):
"Put (secretly) their cash (they paid us) in
their baggage (in such a way) that they may recognize
it when they go back to their family, so that they may
come back (to express their gratitude)." |
| 63
So when they returned to their father (with their provisions),
they said: "O our Dad! (additional) measure has
been denied to us (unless we take with us our brother Binyamin);
therefore send with us our brother that we may obtain (full)
measure (on per capita basis), and we are surely guardians
over him." |
| 64
He said (as a flat refusal, having lost faith in them):
"Can I trust you with him except as I trusted you with
his brother before (12:11-17)? (You are talking of taking
care) but Allah is the best Guardian; and He is the most
Rewarding of those who are the givers of rewards." |
| 65
And when they opened their goods they found their cash returned
to them. They said: "O our Dad! what (more) do we
want? Here is our cash returned to us, and we shall bring (substantially
more) rations for our family (if we can humor the whim
of the kind Wazir by taking Binyamin along with us), and
we shall take care of our brother, and (judging from past
experience) we shall add the measure of a camel (load
of grain). This (securing of a camel-load) is an easy
load (as Egypt seems to have plenty of grain in store)." |
| 66
He said: "I shall not send him with you until you give
me Allah's covenant (i.e. your assurance in the name of
Allah), that you will certainly bring him back to me, unless
you be encompassed (by circumstances beyond your control)."
So that when they (particularly Judah, Gen. 43:9) had
given him their promise, he said: "Allah is the Keeper
of what we say (by keeping Him as a Witness)." |
| 67
And he (-Ya'qub, getting a sense from Divine source of
Yusuf's whereabouts) said: "O my sons! do not enter
(all of you) by a single gate (lest you attract undue
attention and suspicion among strangers), but enter you by
different gates. And I cannot avail you anything against Allah
(with my advice). Judgment belongs to none but Allah. Upon
Him do I rely and upon Him should then rely all the reliants
(who wish to rely upon another)." |
| 68
And when they entered (with Binyamin through different
gates) as their father had ordered them, it did not avail
them anything against (the Plan of) Allah, but (they
thought) it was a (crazy) wish in the heart of Ya'qub
which he fulfilled. And he was in fact possessor of knowledge
(like the whereabouts of Yusuf) on account of what We had
taught him, but most men do not know (that men, without
Allah's guidance, will be groping in the darkness). |
