And when they went in to Yusuf, he lodged his brother with himself,
he said: "I am indeed your brother, therefore do not grieve for
what they have been doing." |
| 70
Then when he had provided them with their provisions, someone placed
the drinking-cup in his brother's baggage. Then a crier cried: "O
you caravan! you are most surely thieves." |
| 71
They said, while they turned towards them: "What is it that you
miss?" |
| 72
They said: "We miss the King's drinking-cup, and whoever produces
it will have the load of a camel, and I am responsible for it." |
| 73
They said: "By Allah! you certainly know that we have not come
to make mischief in the land and that we are not thieves." |
| 74
They said: "What then shall be the recompense of it if you be
liars?" |
| 75
They said: "Its recompense will be that he in whose baggage it
is found will be its compensation. It is thus that we award the wrongdoers." |
| 76
Then he began their sacks before his brother's sack, then he brought
it out of his brother's sack. Likewise We made a plan for Yusuf. It
was not possible to keep his brother within the King's jurisdiction,
except when Allah pleases. We raise in rank whom We please. And above
everyone possessing knowledge is the all-Knowing. |
| 77
They said: "If he stole, then surely his brother stole before."
Then Yusuf concealed that within himself, and he did not disclose
it to them. He said: "You are worse in condition; and Allah knows
best what you allege." |
| 78
They said: "O exalted one! surely he has a father- very old person.
Therefore take one of us in his place. Surely we see you among the
doers of good." |
| 79
He said: "Allah protect us from taking anyone except him with
whom we found our property, for then most surely we should be unjust!" |

And when they (-the ten brothers and Binyamin) went
in to Yusuf, (he received them with hospitality and lodged
them two by two; and Binyamin becoming the odd and isolated
one) he lodged his (own) brother with himself, he
(thus getting a chance of privacy) said: "I am indeed
your brother (Yusuf), therefore do not grieve for what
they have been doing (with us so long)." |
| 70
Then when he had provided them with their provisions, someone
(of the ten stepbrothers) placed the drinking-cup (of
the King) in his brother's baggage (so as to get him
arrested and to remove him also from Ya'qub). Then (the
loss being noticed) a crier cried: "O you caravan! you
are most surely thieves." |
| 71
They said, while they turned towards them: "What is
it that you miss?" |
| 72
They said: "We miss the King's drinking-cup, and whoever
produces it (voluntarily before our search) will have
(an award of) the load of a camel (in provisions), and
I am responsible for it (-the finding out of the cup as
well as the giving of the reward)." |
| 73
They (-the brothers) said: "By Allah! you certainly
know that we have not come to make mischief in the land and
that we are not thieves." |
| 74
They said: "What then shall be the recompense of it
if you be (proved) liars (after a search)?" |
| 75
(In order to materialize their plot of leaving Binyamin in this
foreign land, 12:70) they said: "Its recompense will
be that he in whose baggage it is found will be its compensation
(as a bondsman). It is thus that we award the wrongdoers
(in our custom)." |
| 76
Then he began (to search) their sacks before his brother's
sack (as the suspicion of theft was on them), then he
(searched his own brother and) brought it out of his brother's
sack. Likewise (as the wicked brothers had planned, 12:70,75)
We made a plan for Yusuf (which was not Yusuf's plan,
so that the circumstances helped him to take Binyamin out of
the clutches of the wicked brothers and to keep him under his
safe custody in Egypt). It was not (otherwise) possible
to keep his brother within the King's jurisdiction (as everyone
hasto abide by the laws of the country he lives in, 4:59), except
when Allah pleases (to create that situation, and so it
became a blessing in disguise). We raise in rank (the
deserving ones) whom We please. And above everyone possessing
knowledge (of planning) is the all-Knowing (-the
Universal Planner). |
| 77
They said (little suspecting that Yusuf was before them
in another guise): "If he stole (it, there is nothing
strange), then surely his brother (Yusuf also) stole
before (and their generation is habituated in such act)."
Then Yusuf concealed that (intention of revealing his
identity to bring the cat out of the bag) within himself,
and he did not disclose it (-his identity) to them. He
(only) said: "You are worse in condition; and Allah
knows best (the falsehood in) what you allege." |
| 78
They said (for making him believe that they are sincere
in their love for Binyamin and his father): "O exalted
one! surely he has a father- very old person (who will grieve
for him). Therefore take one of us in his place. Surely we
see you among the doers of good (to all)." |
| 79
He said (holding fast to the earlier settlement, 12:75):
"(God forbid! may) Allah protect us from taking anyone
except him with whom we found our property, for (if we take
any other person) then most surely we should be unjust!" |
