Surah Yusuf - Page: 8

قَالُوْا وَاَقْبَلُوْا عَلَيْهِمْ مَّاذَا تَفْقِدُوْنَ ٧١

They said while approaching them, "What is it you are missing?" (QS. [12] Yusuf: 71)

قَالُوْا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَنْ جَاۤءَ بِهٖ حِمْلُ بَعِيْرٍ وَّاَنَا۠ بِهٖ زَعِيْمٌ ٧٢

They said, "We are missing the measure of the king. And for he who produces it is [the reward of] a camel's load, and I am responsible for it." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 72)

قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِى الْاَرْضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سَارِقِيْنَ ٧٣

They said, "By Allah, you have certainly known that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 73)

قَالُوْا فَمَا جَزَاۤؤُهٗٓ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ كٰذِبِيْنَ ٧٤

They [the accusers] said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars?" (QS. [12] Yusuf: 74)

قَالُوْا جَزَاۤؤُهٗ مَنْ وُّجِدَ فِيْ رَحْلِهٖ فَهُوَ جَزَاۤؤُهٗ ۗ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِى الظّٰلِمِيْنَ ٧٥

[The brothers] said, "Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found – he [himself] will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 75)

فَبَدَاَ بِاَوْعِيَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَاۤءِ اَخِيْهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ وِّعَاۤءِ اَخِيْهِۗ كَذٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِيُوْسُفَۗ مَا كَانَ لِيَأْخُذَ اَخَاهُ فِيْ دِيْنِ الْمَلِكِ اِلَّآ اَنْ يَّشَاۤءَ اللّٰهُ ۗنَرْفَعُ دَرَجَاتٍ مَّنْ نَّشَاۤءُۗ وَفَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِيْ عِلْمٍ عَلِيْمٌ ٧٦

So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion [i.e., law] of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing. (QS. [12] Yusuf: 76)

۞ قَالُوْٓا اِنْ يَّسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ اَخٌ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ فَاَسَرَّهَا يُوْسُفُ فِيْ نَفْسِهٖ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْۚ قَالَ اَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا ۚوَاللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُوْنَ ٧٧

They said, "If he steals – a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, "You are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 77)

قَالُوْا يٰٓاَيُّهَا الْعَزِيْزُ اِنَّ لَهٗٓ اَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيْرًا فَخُذْ اَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهٗ ۚاِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِيْنَ ٧٨

They said, "O Azeez, indeed he has a father [who is] an old man, so take one of us in place of him. Indeed, we see you as a doer of good." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 78)

قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ نَّأْخُذَ اِلَّا مَنْ وَّجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِنْدَهٗٓ ۙاِنَّآ اِذًا لَّظٰلِمُوْنَ ࣖ ٧٩

He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust." (QS. [12] Yusuf: 79)

فَلَمَّا اسْتَا۟يْـَٔسُوْا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوْا نَجِيًّاۗ قَالَ كَبِيْرُهُمْ اَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوْٓا اَنَّ اَبَاكُمْ قَدْ اَخَذَ عَلَيْكُمْ مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطْتُّمْ فِيْ يُوْسُفَ فَلَنْ اَبْرَحَ الْاَرْضَ حَتّٰى يَأْذَنَ لِيْٓ اَبِيْٓ اَوْ يَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ لِيْۚ وَهُوَ خَيْرُ الْحٰكِمِيْنَ ٨٠

So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father has taken upon you an oath by Allah and [that] before you failed in [your duty to] Joseph? So I will never leave [this] land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of judges. (QS. [12] Yusuf: 80)
