الٓرٰ ؕ تِلۡكَ اٰيٰتُ الۡكِتٰبِ الۡمُبِيۡنِ ؕ ١
12:1
Alif-Lām-Rā. These are the verses of the clear Book.
اِنَّاۤ اَنۡزَلۡنٰهُ قُرۡاٰنًا عَرَبِيًّا لَّعَلَّكُمۡ تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ٢
12:2
Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand.
نَحۡنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَيۡكَ اَحۡسَنَ الۡقَصَصِ بِمَاۤ اَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡكَ هٰذَا الۡقُرۡاٰنَ ۖۚ وَاِنۡ كُنۡتَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهٖ لَمِنَ الۡغٰفِلِيۡنَ ٣
12:3
We relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an, though you were, before it, among the unaware.
اِذۡ قَالَ يُوۡسُفُ لِاَبِيۡهِ يٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّىۡ رَاَيۡتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبًا وَّالشَّمۡسَ وَ الۡقَمَرَ رَاَيۡتُهُمۡ لِىۡ سٰجِدِيۡنَ ٤
12:4
When Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."
قَالَ يٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَقۡصُصۡ رُؤۡيَاكَ عَلٰىۤ اِخۡوَتِكَ فَيَكِيۡدُوۡا لَكَ كَيۡدًا ؕ اِنَّ الشَّيۡطٰنَ لِلۡاِنۡسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِيۡنٌ ٥
12:5
He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers, lest they arrange against you a plot. Indeed, Satan is to man a clear enemy.
وَكَذٰلِكَ يَجۡتَبِيۡكَ رَبُّكَ وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِ وَيُتِمُّ نِعۡمَتَهٗ عَلَيۡكَ وَعَلٰىۤ اٰلِ يَعۡقُوۡبَ كَمَاۤ اَتَمَّهَا عَلٰىۤ اَبَوَيۡكَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ ؕ اِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِيۡمٌ حَكِيۡمٌ ؕ ٦
12:6
And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of narratives and complete His favor upon you and upon the family of Jacob, as He completed it upon your fathers before, Abraham and Isaac. Indeed, your Lord is Knowing and Wise."
لَقَدۡ كَانَ فِىۡ يُوۡسُفَ وَاِخۡوَتِهٖۤ اٰيٰتٌ لِّلسَّآئِلِيۡنَ ٧
12:7
Certainly, in Joseph and his brothers were signs for those who ask.
اِذۡ قَالُوۡا لَيُوۡسُفُ وَاَخُوۡهُ اَحَبُّ اِلٰى اَبِيۡنَا مِنَّا وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌ ؕ اِنَّ اَبَانَا لَفِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ۙ ٨
12:8
When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a company. Indeed, our father is in clear error.
اقۡتُلُوۡا يُوۡسُفَ اَوِ اطۡرَحُوۡهُ اَرۡضًا يَّخۡلُ لَكُمۡ وَجۡهُ اَبِيۡكُمۡ وَتَكُوۡنُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِهٖ قَوۡمًا صٰلِحِيۡنَ ٩
12:9
Kill Joseph or cast him out to [some] land so that the attention of your father will be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people."
قَالَ قَآئِلٌ مِّنۡهُمۡ لَا تَقۡتُلُوۡا يُوۡسُفَ وَاَلۡقُوۡهُ فِىۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّ يَلۡتَقِطۡهُ بَعۡضُ السَّيَّارَةِ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ فٰعِلِيۡنَ ١٠
12:10
Said a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travellers will pick him up - if you would do [something]."
قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَاۡمَنَّا عَلٰى يُوۡسُفَ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَنٰصِحُوۡنَ ۙ ١١
12:11
They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him [intended] well-wishers?
اَرۡسِلۡهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا يَّرۡتَعۡ وَيَلۡعَبۡ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ ١٢
12:12
Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy and play, and indeed, we will be his guardians."
قَالَ اِنِّىۡ لَيَحۡزُنُنِىۡۤ اَنۡ تَذۡهَبُوۡا بِهٖ وَاَخَافُ اَنۡ يَّاۡكُلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ وَاَنۡتُمۡ عَنۡهُ غٰفِلُوۡنَ ١٣
12:13
He said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware."
قَالُوۡا لَئِنۡ اَكَلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ وَنَحۡنُ عُصۡبَةٌ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوۡنَ ١٤
12:14
They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] company, then indeed, we would be losers."
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوۡا بِهٖ وَاَجۡمَعُوۡۤا اَنۡ يَّجۡعَلُوۡهُ فِىۡ غَيٰبَتِ الۡجُبِّ ۚ وَاَوۡحَيۡنَاۤ اِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمۡ بِاَمۡرِهِمۡ هٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ١٥
12:15
So when they took him away and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well, We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."
وَجَآءُوۡۤ اَبَاهُمۡ عِشَآءً يَّبۡكُوۡنَ ۙ ١٦
12:16
And they came to their father at night, weeping.
قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَاۤ اِنَّا ذَهَبۡنَا نَسۡتَبِقُ وَتَرَكۡنَا يُوۡسُفَ عِنۡدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَاَكَلَهُ الذِّئۡبُ ۚ وَمَاۤ اَنۡتَ بِمُؤۡمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوۡ كُنَّا صٰدِقِيۡنَ ١٧
12:17
They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."
وَجَآءُوۡ عَلٰى قَمِيۡصِهٖ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ ؕ قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ اَنۡفُسُكُمۡ اَمۡرًا ؕ فَصَبۡرٌ جَمِيۡلٌ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ الۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوۡنَ ١٨
12:18
And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe."
وَجَآءَتۡ سَيَّارَةٌ فَاَرۡسَلُوۡا وَارِدَهُمۡ فَاَدۡلٰى دَلۡوَهٗ ؕ قَالَ يٰبُشۡرٰى هٰذَا غُلٰمٌ ؕ وَاَسَرُّوۡهُ بِضَاعَةً ؕ وَاللّٰهُ عَلِيۡمٌۢ بِمَا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ١٩
12:19
And there came a company of travelers; they sent their drawer [of water], and he let down his bucket. He said, "Oh, good news! This is a boy." And they concealed him as merchandise, and Allah was knowing of what they did.
وَشَرَوۡهُ بِثَمَنٍۢ بَخۡسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعۡدُوۡدَةٍ ۚ وَكَانُوۡا فِيۡهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِيۡنَ ٢٠
12:20
And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, renunciants.
وَقَالَ الَّذِى اشۡتَرٰٮهُ مِنۡ مِّصۡرَ لِامۡرَاَتِهٖۤ اَكۡرِمِىۡ مَثۡوٰٮهُ عَسٰٓى اَنۡ يَّنۡفَعَنَاۤ اَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوۡسُفَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهٗ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِ ؕ وَاللّٰهُ غَالِبٌ عَلٰىۤ اَمۡرِهٖ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٢١
12:21
And the one who bought him from Egypt said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.
وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗۤ اٰتَيۡنٰهُ حُكۡمًا وَّعِلۡمًا ؕ وَكَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ٢٢
12:22
And when he reached his full maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good.
وَرَاوَدَتۡهُ الَّتِىۡ هُوَ فِىۡ بَيۡتِهَا عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ وَغَلَّقَتِ الۡاَبۡوَابَ وَقَالَتۡ هَيۡتَ لَكَ ؕ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ رَبِّىۡۤ اَحۡسَنَ مَثۡوَاىَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يُفۡلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوۡنَ ٢٣
12:23
And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he [your husband] is my master, who has made my residence excellent. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."
وَلَقَدۡ هَمَّتۡ بِهٖ ۚ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوۡلَاۤ اَنۡ رَّاٰ بُرۡهَانَ رَبِّهٖ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصۡرِفَ عَنۡهُ السُّوۡٓءَ وَ الۡفَحۡشَآءَ ؕ اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا الۡمُخۡلَصِيۡنَ ٢٤
12:24
And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have determined [to incline to] her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. Thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our selected servants.
وَاسۡتَبَقَا الۡبَابَ وَقَدَّتۡ قَمِيۡصَهٗ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ وَّ اَلۡفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَا الۡبَابِ ؕ قَالَتۡ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنۡ اَرَادَ بِاَهۡلِكَ سُوۡٓءًا اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يُّسۡجَنَ اَوۡ عَذَابٌ اَلِيۡمٌ ٢٥
12:25
And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he should be imprisoned or receive a painful punishment?"
قَالَ هِىَ رَاوَدَتۡنِىۡ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِىۡ ۚ وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِهَا ۙ اِنۡ كَانَ قَمِيۡصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتۡ وَهُوَ مِنَ الۡكٰذِبِيۡنَ ۚ ٢٦
12:26
[Joseph] said, "She tried to seduce me." And a witness from her family suggested, "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars.
وَاِنۡ كَانَ قَمِيۡصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتۡ وَهُوَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ٢٧
12:27
But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful."
فَلَمَّا رَاٰ قَمِيۡصَهٗ قُدَّ مِنۡ دُبُرٍ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ مِنۡ كَيۡدِكُنَّ ؕ اِنَّ كَيۡدَكُنَّ عَظِيۡمٌ ٢٨
12:28
So when he saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the cunning of you women. Indeed, your cunning is great.
يُوۡسُفُ اَعۡرِضۡ عَنۡ هٰذَا ۫ وَاسۡتَغۡفِرِىۡ لِذَنۡۢبِكِ ۖۚ اِنَّكِ كُنۡتِ مِنَ الۡخَاطِئِيۡنَ ٢٩
12:29
Joseph, ignore this. And, [O wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were among the sinners."
وَقَالَ نِسۡوَةٌ فِىۡ الۡمَدِيۡنَةِ امۡرَاَتُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتٰٮهَا عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ ۖ قَدۡ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّا ؕ اِنَّا لَنَرٰٮهَا فِىۡ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِيۡنٍ ٣٠
12:30
And women in the city said, "The wife of al-'Azeez is seeking to seduce her slave boy; he has impassioned her with love. Indeed, we plainly see her to be in clear error."
فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتۡ بِمَكۡرِهِنَّ اَرۡسَلَتۡ اِلَيۡهِنَّ وَاَعۡتَدَتۡ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَاً وَّاٰتَتۡ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنۡهُنَّ سِكِّيۡنًا وَّقَالَتِ اخۡرُجۡ عَلَيۡهِنَّ ۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَيۡنَهٗۤ اَكۡبَرۡنَهٗ وَقَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلۡنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًا ؕ اِنۡ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيۡمٌ ٣١
12:31
So when she heard of their gossip, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands [in astonishment] and said, "Exalted is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."
قَالَتۡ فَذٰلِكُنَّ الَّذِىۡ لُمۡتُنَّنِىۡ فِيۡهِ ؕ وَلَقَدۡ رَاوَدتُّهٗ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ فَاسۡتَعۡصَمَ ؕ وَلَئِنۡ لَّمۡ يَفۡعَلۡ مَاۤ اٰمُرُهٗ لَيُسۡجَنَنَّ وَلَيَكُوۡنًا مِّنَ الصّٰغِرِيۡنَ ٣٢
12:32
She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I did seek to seduce him, but he firmly refused. And if he does not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be among the humiliated."
قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجۡنُ اَحَبُّ اِلَىَّ مِمَّا يَدۡعُوۡنَنِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِ ۚ وَاِلَّا تَصۡرِفۡ عَنِّىۡ كَيۡدَهُنَّ اَصۡبُ اِلَيۡهِنَّ وَاَكُنۡ مِّنَ الۡجٰهِلِيۡنَ ٣٣
12:33
He said, "My Lord, prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me. And if You do not avert from me their plan, I might incline toward them and [thus] be among the ignorant."
فَاسۡتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ فَصَرَفَ عَنۡهُ كَيۡدَهُنَّ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِيۡعُ الۡعَلِيۡمُ ٣٤
12:34
So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing.
ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمۡ مِّنۡۢ بَعۡدِ مَا رَاَوُا الۡاٰيٰتِ لَيَسۡجُنُنَّهٗ حَتّٰى حِيۡنٍ ٣٥
12:35
Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that he should surely be imprisoned for a time.
وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجۡنَ فَتَيٰنِ ؕ قَالَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰٮنِىۡۤ اَعۡصِرُ خَمۡرًا ۚ وَقَالَ الۡاٰخَرُ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰٮنِىۡۤ اَحۡمِلُ فَوۡقَ رَاۡسِىۡ خُبۡزًا تَاۡكُلُ الطَّيۡرُ مِنۡهُ ؕ نَبِّئۡنَا بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖۤ ۫ اِنَّا نَرٰٮكَ مِنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ٣٦
12:36
And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." And the other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [some] bread, from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you to be of those who do good."
قَالَ لَا يَاۡتِيۡكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرۡزَقٰنِهٖۤ اِلَّا نَبَّاۡتُكُمَا بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ قَبۡلَ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَكُمَا ؕ ذٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِىۡ رَبِّىۡ ؕ اِنِّىۡ تَرَكۡتُ مِلَّةَ قَوۡمٍ لَّا يُؤۡمِنُوۡنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَهُمۡ بِالۡاٰخِرَةِ هُمۡ كٰفِرُوۡنَ ٣٧
12:37
[Joseph] said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you but that I will inform you of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me. Indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah, and they are, in regard to the Hereafter, disbelievers.
وَاتَّبَعۡتُ مِلَّةَ اٰبَآءِىۡۤ اِبۡرٰهِيۡمَ وَاِسۡحٰقَ وَيَعۡقُوۡبَ ؕ مَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنۡ نُّشۡرِكَ بِاللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ ؕ ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ فَضۡلِ اللّٰهِ عَلَيۡنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَشۡكُرُوۡنَ ٣٨
12:38
And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. It was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is among the favors of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people do not show gratitude.
يٰصَاحِبَىِ السِّجۡنِ ءَاَرۡبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُوۡنَ خَيۡرٌ اَمِ اللّٰهُ الۡوَاحِدُ الۡقَهَّارُ ؕ ٣٩
12:39
O two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Irresistible?
مَا تَعۡبُدُوۡنَ مِنۡ دُوۡنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسۡمَآءً سَمَّيۡتُمُوۡهَاۤ اَنۡتُمۡ وَاٰبَآؤُكُمۡ مَّاۤ اَنۡزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنۡ سُلۡطٰنٍ ؕ اِنِ الۡحُكۡمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِ ؕ اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعۡبُدُوۡۤا اِلَّاۤ اِيَّاهُ ؕ ذٰلِكَ الدِّيۡنُ الۡقَيِّمُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٤٠
12:40
You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named, you and your fathers, for which Allah has sent down no authority. Legislation is not but for Allah. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.
يٰصَاحِبَىِ السِّجۡنِ اَمَّاۤ اَحَدُكُمَا فَيَسۡقِىۡ رَبَّهٗ خَمۡرًا ۚ وَاَمَّا الۡاٰخَرُ فَيُصۡلَبُ فَتَاۡكُلُ الطَّيۡرُ مِنۡ رَّاۡسِهٖ ؕ قُضِىَ الۡاَمۡرُ الَّذِىۡ فِيۡهِ تَسۡتَفۡتِيٰنِ ٤١
12:41
O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give his master wine to drink; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquired."
وَقَالَ لِلَّذِىۡ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنۡهُمَا اذۡكُرۡنِىۡ عِنۡدَ رَبِّكَ فَاَنۡسٰٮهُ الشَّيۡطٰنُ ذِكۡرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِىۡ السِّجۡنِ بِضۡعَ سِنِيۡنَ ٤٢
12:42
And [Joseph] said to the one whom he knew would be released, "Mention me to your master." But Satan made him forget to mention [Joseph] to his master, and [consequently] Joseph remained in prison for several years.
وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ اِنِّىۡۤ اَرٰى سَبۡعَ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَّاۡكُلُهُنَّ سَبۡعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبۡعَ سُنۡۢبُلٰتٍ خُضۡرٍ وَّاُخَرَ يٰبِسٰتٍ ؕ يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡمَلَاُ اَفۡتُوۡنِىۡ فِىۡ رُءۡيَاىَ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ لِلرُّءۡيَا تَعۡبُرُوۡنَ ٤٣
12:43
And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."
قَالُوۡۤا اَضۡغَاثُ اَحۡلَامٍ ۫ وَمَا نَحۡنُ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحۡلَامِ بِعٰلِمِيۡنَ ٤٤
12:44
They said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of [such] dreams."
وَقَالَ الَّذِىۡ نَجَا مِنۡهُمَا وَادَّكَرَ بَعۡدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا۠ اُنَبِّئُكُمۡ بِتَاۡوِيۡلِهٖ فَاَرۡسِلُوۡنِ ٤٥
12:45
But the one who had been released and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me [to Joseph]."
يُوۡسُفُ اَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيۡقُ اَفۡتِنَا فِىۡ سَبۡعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ يَّاۡكُلُهُنَّ سَبۡعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّسَبۡعِ سُنۡۢبُلٰتٍ خُضۡرٍ وَّاُخَرَ يٰبِسٰتٍ ۙ لَّعَلِّىۡۤ اَرۡجِعُ اِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٤٦
12:46
[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven lean ones and seven green spikes and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [about you]."
قَالَ تَزۡرَعُوۡنَ سَبۡعَ سِنِيۡنَ دَاۡبًا ۚ فَمَا حَصَدتُّمۡ فَذَرُوۡهُ فِىۡ سُنۡۢبُلِهٖۤ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تَاۡكُلُوۡنَ ٤٧
12:47
He said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat.
ثُمَّ يَاۡتِىۡ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ سَبۡعٌ شِدَادٌ يَّاۡكُلۡنَ مَا قَدَّمۡتُمۡ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِيۡلًا مِّمَّا تُحۡصِنُوۡنَ ٤٨
12:48
Then will come after that seven hard [years] which will consume what you saved for them, except a little from that which you store.
ثُمَّ يَاۡتِىۡ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ ذٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيۡهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيۡهِ يَعۡصِرُوۡنَ ٤٩
12:49
Then will come after that a year in which the people will have rain and in which they will press [oil and juice]."
وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ ائۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِهٖ ؕ فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوۡلُ قَالَ ارۡجِعۡ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَسۡئَلۡهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسۡوَةِ الّٰتِىۡ قَطَّعۡنَ اَيۡدِيَهُنَّ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ بِكَيۡدِهِنَّ عَلِيۡمٌ ؕ ٥٠
12:50
And the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan."
قَالَ مَا خَطۡبُكُنَّ اِذۡ رَاوَدتُّنَّ يُوۡسُفَ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ ؕ قُلۡنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا عَلِمۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ سُوۡٓءٍ ؕ قَالَتِ امۡرَاَتُ الۡعَزِيۡزِ الۡئٰنَ حَصۡحَصَ الۡحَقُّ ۙ اَنَا رَاوَدتُّهٗ عَنۡ نَّفۡسِهٖ وَاِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِيۡنَ ٥١
12:51
[The king] said, "What was your condition when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Exalted is Allah! We know about him no evil." The wife of al-'Azeez said, "Now the truth has become clear. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful.
ذٰلِكَ لِيَعۡلَمَ اَنِّىۡ لَمۡ اَخُنۡهُ بِالۡغَيۡبِ وَاَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يَهۡدِىۡ كَيۡدَ الۡخَآئِنِيۡنَ ٥٢
12:52
That is so Joseph may know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allah does not guide the plot of deceivers.
وَمَاۤ اُبَرِّئُ نَفۡسِىۡ ۚ اِنَّ النَّفۡسَ لَاَمَّارَةٌۢ بِالسُّوۡٓءِ اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّىۡ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ غَفُوۡرٌ رَّحِيۡمٌ ٥٣
12:53
And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent announcer of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
وَقَالَ الۡمَلِكُ ائۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِهٖۤ اَسۡتَخۡلِصۡهُ لِنَفۡسِىۡ ۚ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهٗ قَالَ اِنَّكَ الۡيَوۡمَ لَدَيۡنَا مَكِيۡنٌ اَمِيۡنٌ ٥٤
12:54
And the king said, "Bring him to me; I will appoint him exclusively for myself." And when he had spoken to him, he said, "Indeed, you are today in our presence established [in position] and trusted."
قَالَ اجۡعَلۡنِىۡ عَلٰى خَزَآئِنِ الۡاَرۡضِ ۚ اِنِّىۡ حَفِيۡظٌ عَلِيۡمٌ ٥٥
12:55
[Joseph] said, "Appoint me over the storehouses of the land. Indeed, I am a knowledgeable guardian."
وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوۡسُفَ فِى الۡاَرۡضِ ۚ يَتَبَوَّاُ مِنۡهَا حَيۡثُ يَشَآءُ ؕ نُصِيۡبُ بِرَحۡمَتِنَا مَنۡ نَّشَآءُ ۚ وَلَا نُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ٥٦
12:56
And thus, We established Joseph in the land to settle wherever he willed. We touch with Our mercy whom We will, and We do not allow the reward of the doers of good to be lost.
وَلَاَجۡرُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ خَيۡرٌ لِّلَّذِيۡنَ اٰمَنُوۡا وَكَانُوۡا يَتَّقُوۡنَ ٥٧
12:57
And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing [Allah].
وَجَآءَ اِخۡوَةُ يُوۡسُفَ فَدَخَلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِ فَعَرَفَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ لَهٗ مُنۡكِرُوۡنَ ٥٨
12:58
And the brothers of Joseph came [to Egypt] and entered upon him, and he recognized them, but to them he was unknown.
وَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمۡ بِجَهَازِهِمۡ قَالَ ائۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِاَخٍ لَّكُمۡ مِّنۡ اَبِيۡكُمۡ ۚ اَلَا تَرَوۡنَ اَنِّىۡۤ اُوۡفِى الۡكَيۡلَ وَاَنَا خَيۡرُ الۡمُنۡزِلِيۡنَ ٥٩
12:59
And when he had furnished them with their provisions, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of hosts?
فَاِنۡ لَّمۡ تَاۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِهٖ فَلَا كَيۡلَ لَكُمۡ عِنۡدِىۡ وَلَا تَقۡرَبُوۡنِ ٦٠
12:60
But if you do not bring him to me, no measure will there be for you from me, nor will you approach me."
قَالُوۡا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنۡهُ اَبَاهُ وَاِنَّا لَفٰعِلُوۡنَ ٦١
12:61
They said, "We will attempt to persuade his father to let him come, and indeed, we will do [it]."
وَقَالَ لِفِتۡيٰنِهِ اجۡعَلُوۡا بِضَاعَتَهُمۡ فِىۡ رِحَالِهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَعۡرِفُوۡنَهَاۤ اِذَا انۡقَلَبُوۡۤا اِلٰٓى اَهۡلِهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُوۡنَ ٦٢
12:62
And [Joseph] said to his servants, "Put their merchandise into their saddlebags so they might recognize it when they have gone back to their people, that perhaps they will return."
فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوۡۤا اِلٰٓى اَبِيۡهِمۡ قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الۡكَيۡلُ فَاَرۡسِلۡ مَعَنَاۤ اَخَانَا نَكۡتَلۡ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوۡنَ ٦٣
12:63
So when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, [further] measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother [Benjamin] that we may obtain measure, and indeed, we will be his guardians."
قَالَ هَلۡ اٰمَنُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ اِلَّا كَمَاۤ اَمِنۡتُكُمۡ عَلٰىۤ اَخِيۡهِ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ؕ فَاللّٰهُ خَيۡرٌ حٰفِظًا ؕ وَّهُوَ اَرۡحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيۡنَ ٦٤
12:64
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [on an assurance] like the one I gave you concerning his brother before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوۡا مَتَاعَهُمۡ وَجَدُوۡا بِضَاعَتَهُمۡ رُدَّتۡ اِلَيۡهِمۡ ؕ قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَا مَا نَبۡغِىۡ ؕ هٰذِهٖ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتۡ اِلَيۡنَا ؕ وَنَمِيۡرُ اَهۡلَنَا وَنَحۡفَظُ اَخَانَا وَنَزۡدَادُ كَيۡلَ بَعِيۡرٍ ؕ ذٰ لِكَ كَيۡلٌ يَّسِيۡرٌ ٦٥
12:65
And when they opened their baggage, they found their merchandise returned to them. They said, "O our father, what more could we desire? This is our merchandise returned to us. And we will provide for our family and guard our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load [of grain]. That is an easy measure."
قَالَ لَنۡ اُرۡسِلَهٗ مَعَكُمۡ حَتّٰى تُؤۡتُوۡنِ مَوۡثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لَتَاۡتُنَّنِىۡ بِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يُّحَاطَ بِكُمۡ ؕ فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتَوۡهُ مَوۡثِقَهُمۡ قَالَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوۡلُ وَكِيۡلٌ ٦٦
12:66
He said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a solemn promise, before Allah, that you will bring him back to me unless you should be overcome [by death or inability]." And when they had given their solemn promise, he said, "Allah is, over what we say, Trustee."
وَقَالَ يٰبُنَىَّ لَا تَدۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَابٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَّادۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡ اَبۡوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍ ؕ وَمَاۤ اُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡكُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ ؕ اِنِ الۡحُكۡمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِ ؕ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُ ۚ وَعَلَيۡهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ الۡمُتَوَكِّلُوۡنَ ٦٧
12:67
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates. But I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allah at all. The [final] decision is only for Allah. Upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا مِنۡ حَيۡثُ اَمَرَهُمۡ اَبُوۡهُمۡ ۙ مَّا كَانَ يُغۡنِىۡ عَنۡهُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنۡ شَىۡءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِىۡ نَفۡسِ يَعۡقُوۡبَ قَضٰٮهَا ؕ وَاِنَّهٗ لَذُوۡ عِلۡمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمۡنٰهُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكۡثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٦٨
12:68
And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them at all against [the decree of] Allah but only [satisfied] a necessity in the soul of Jacob, which he discharged. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا عَلٰى يُوۡسُفَ اٰوٰۤى اِلَيۡهِ اَخَاهُ ۫ قَالَ اِنِّىۡۤ اَنَا اَخُوۡكَ فَلَا تَبۡتَئِسۡ بِمَا كَانُوۡا يَعۡمَلُوۡنَ ٦٩
12:69
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother [Benjamin] aside to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]."
فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمۡ بِجَهَازِهِمۡ جَعَلَ السِّقَايَةَ فِىۡ رَحۡلِ اَخِيۡهِ ثُمَّ اَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ اَيَّتُهَا الۡعِيۡرُ اِنَّكُمۡ لَسٰرِقُوۡنَ ٧٠
12:70
So when he had furnished them with their supplies, he put the [king's] drinking cup into the saddlebag of his brother. Then an announcer called out, "O caravan, indeed you are thieves."
قَالُوۡا وَاَقۡبَلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِمۡ مَّاذَا تَفۡقِدُوۡنَ ؕ ٧١
12:71
They said while approaching them, "What is it you are missing?"
قَالُوۡا نَفۡقِدُ صُوَاعَ الۡمَلِكِ وَلِمَنۡ جَآءَ بِهٖ حِمۡلُ بَعِيۡرٍ وَّاَنَا بِهٖ زَعِيۡمٌ ٧٢
12:72
They said, "We are missing the measure of the king, and for he who brings it is [the reward of] a camel's load, and I am responsible for it."
قَالُوۡا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدۡ عَلِمۡتُمۡ مَّا جِئۡنَا لِنُفۡسِدَ فِىۡ الۡاَرۡضِ وَمَا كُنَّا سٰرِقِيۡنَ ٧٣
12:73
They said, "By Allah, you certainly know that we did not come to commit corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves."
قَالُوۡا فَمَا جَزٰٓؤُهُ اِنۡ كُنۡتُمۡ كٰذِبِيۡنَ ٧٤
12:74
[The searchers] said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars?"
قَالُوۡا جَزٰٓؤُهُ مَنۡ وُّجِدَ فِىۡ رَحۡلِهٖ فَهُوَ جَزٰٓؤُهُ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ نَجۡزِى الظّٰلِمِيۡنَ ٧٥
12:75
They said, "Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found - he himself will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers."
فَبَدَاَ بِاَوۡعِيَتِهِمۡ قَبۡلَ وِعَآءِ اَخِيۡهِ ثُمَّ اسۡتَخۡرَجَهَا مِنۡ وِّعَآءِ اَخِيۡهِ ؕ كَذٰلِكَ كِدۡنَا لِيُوۡسُفَ ؕ مَا كَانَ لِيَاۡخُذَ اَخَاهُ فِىۡ دِيۡنِ الۡمَلِكِ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ يَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُ ؕ نَرۡفَعُ دَرَجٰتٍ مَّنۡ نَّشَآءُ ؕ وَفَوۡقَ كُلِّ ذِىۡ عِلۡمٍ عَلِيۡمٌ ٧٦
12:76
So [Joseph] 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 by the 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.
قَالُـوۡۤا اِنۡ يَّسۡرِقۡ فَقَدۡ سَرَقَ اَخٌ لَّهٗ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۚ فَاَسَرَّهَا يُوۡسُفُ فِىۡ نَفۡسِهٖ وَلَمۡ يُبۡدِهَا لَهُمۡ ۚ قَالَ اَنۡتُمۡ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا ۚ وَاللّٰهُ اَعۡلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُوۡنَ ٧٧
12:77
They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it private within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, "[In reality], you are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe."
قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡعَزِيۡزُ اِنَّ لَهٗۤ اَبًا شَيۡخًا كَبِيۡرًا فَخُذۡ اَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهٗ ۚ اِنَّا نَرٰٮكَ مِنَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ٧٨
12:78
They said, "O 'Azeez, indeed he has a father [who is] an old man, so take one of us in his place. Indeed, we see you as a doer of good."
قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اَنۡ نَّاۡخُذَ اِلَّا مَنۡ وُّجِدۡنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِنۡدَهٗ ۤ ۙ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّظٰلِمُوۡنَ ٧٩
12:79
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah that we should take other than him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be wrongdoers."
فَلَمَّا اسۡتَيۡئَسُوۡا مِنۡهُ خَلَصُوۡا نَجِيًّا ؕ قَالَ كَبِيۡرُهُمۡ اَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمُوۡۤا اَنَّ اَبَاكُمۡ قَدۡ اَخَذَ عَلَيۡكُمۡ مَّوۡثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَمِنۡ قَبۡلُ مَا فَرَّطۡتُمۡ فِىۡ يُوۡسُفَ ۚ فَلَنۡ اَبۡرَحَ الۡاَرۡضَ حَتّٰى يَاۡذَنَ لِىۡۤ اَبِىۡۤ اَوۡ يَحۡكُمَ اللّٰهُ لِىۡ ۚ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ الۡحٰكِمِيۡنَ ٨٠
12:80
So when they had despaired of [persuading] him, they secluded themselves to confer. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father had taken upon you an oath by Allah and [how] you were deficient concerning Joseph before? So I will never leave this land until my father permits me or Allah decides for me, and He is the best of judges.
ارۡجِعُوۡۤا اِلٰى اَبِيۡكُمۡ فَقُوۡلُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَاۤ اِنَّ ابۡنَكَ سَرَقَ ۚ وَمَا شَهِدۡنَاۤ اِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمۡنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلۡغَيۡبِ حٰفِظِيۡنَ ٨١
12:81
Return to your father and say, 'O our father, indeed your son stole. And we did not testify except to what we knew, and we were not guardians of the unseen.
وَسۡئَلِ الۡقَرۡيَةَ الَّتِىۡ كُنَّا فِيۡهَا وَالۡعِيۡرَ الَّتِىۡۤ اَقۡبَلۡنَا فِيۡهَا ؕ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوۡنَ ٨٢
12:82
And ask the city in which we were and the caravan in which we returned. And indeed, we are truthful.'"
قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ اَنۡفُسُكُمۡ اَمۡرًا ۚ فَصَبۡرٌ جَمِيۡلٌ ؕ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَنِىۡ بِهِمۡ جَمِيۡعًا ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡعَلِيۡمُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ٨٣
12:83
[Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. Perhaps Allah will bring them all to me. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise."
وَتَوَلّٰى عَنۡهُمۡ وَقَالَ يٰۤاَسَفٰى عَلٰى يُوۡسُفَ وَابۡيَضَّتۡ عَيۡنٰهُ مِنَ الۡحُزۡنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيۡمٌ ٨٤
12:84
And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white from grief, for he was [of that] repressed.
قَالُوۡا تَاللّٰهِ تَفۡتَؤُا تَذۡكُرُ يُوۡسُفَ حَتّٰى تَكُوۡنَ حَرۡضًا اَوۡ تَكُوۡنَ مِنَ الۡهٰلِكِيۡنَ ٨٥
12:85
They said, "By Allah, you will not cease remembering Joseph until you become fatally ill or are of those who perish."
قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اَشۡكُوۡ بَثِّىۡ وَحُزۡنِىۡۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَاَعۡلَمُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٨٦
12:86
He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know.
يٰبَنِىَّ اذۡهَبُوۡا فَتَحَسَّسُوۡا مِنۡ يُّوۡسُفَ وَاَخِيۡهِ وَلَا تَاۡيۡـَٔسُوۡا مِنۡ رَّوۡحِ اللّٰهِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ لَا يَاۡيۡـَٔسُ مِنۡ رَّوۡحِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الۡقَوۡمُ الۡكٰفِرُوۡنَ ٨٧
12:87
O my sons, go and inquire about Joseph and his brother and never give up hope of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people."
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا عَلَيۡهِ قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَيُّهَا الۡعَزِيۡزُ مَسَّنَا وَاَهۡلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئۡنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُّزۡجٰٮةٍ فَاَوۡفِ لَنَا الۡكَيۡلَ وَتَصَدَّقۡ عَلَيۡنَا ؕ اِنَّ اللّٰهَ يَجۡزِى الۡمُتَصَدِّقِيۡنَ ٨٨
12:88
So when they entered upon [Joseph], they said, "O 'Azeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have brought only meager merchandise. So give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allah rewards the charitable."
قَالَ هَلۡ عَلِمۡتُمۡ مَّا فَعَلۡتُمۡ بِيُوۡسُفَ وَاَخِيۡهِ اِذۡ اَنۡتُمۡ جٰهِلُوۡنَ ٨٩
12:89
He said, "Did you know what you did to Joseph and his brother in your ignorance?"
قَالُوۡۤا ءَاِنَّكَ لَاَنۡتَ يُوۡسُفُ ؕ قَالَ اَنَا يُوۡسُفُ وَهٰذَاۤ اَخِىۡ ۖۚ قَدۡ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡنَا ؕ اِنَّهٗ مَنۡ يَّتَّقِ وَيَصۡبِرۡ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا يُضِيۡعُ اَجۡرَ الۡمُحۡسِنِيۡنَ ٩٠
12:90
They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allah has certainly favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient - then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of the doers of good."
قَالُوۡا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدۡ اٰثَرَكَ اللّٰهُ عَلَيۡنَا وَاِنۡ كُنَّا لَخٰطِئِيۡنَ ٩١
12:91
They said, "By Allah, verily has Allah preferred you over us, and indeed, we were sinners."
قَالَ لَا تَثۡرِيۡبَ عَلَيۡكُمُ الۡيَوۡمَ ؕ يَغۡفِرُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمۡ ؕ وَهُوَ اَرۡحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيۡنَ ٩٢
12:92
He said, "No blame will there be upon you this day. May Allah forgive you; and He is the most merciful of the merciful.
اِذۡهَبُوۡا بِقَمِيۡصِىۡ هٰذَا فَاَلۡقُوۡهُ عَلٰى وَجۡهِ اَبِىۡ يَاۡتِ بَصِيۡرًا ۚ وَاۡتُوۡنِىۡ بِاَهۡلِكُمۡ اَجۡمَعِيۡنَ ٩٣
12:93
Take this shirt of mine and cast it over the face of my father; he will become seeing. And bring me your whole family."
وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ الۡعِيۡرُ قَالَ اَبُوۡهُمۡ اِنِّىۡ لَاَجِدُ رِيۡحَ يُوۡسُفَ ۙ لَوۡلَاۤ اَنۡ تُفَنِّدُوۡنِ ٩٤
12:94
And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said, "Indeed, I perceive the fragrance of Joseph, if you should not consider me a dotard."
قَالُوۡا تَاللّٰهِ اِنَّكَ لَفِىۡ ضَلٰلِكَ الۡقَدِيۡمِ ٩٥
12:95
They said, "By Allah, indeed you are in your old delusion."
فَلَمَّاۤ اَنۡ جَآءَ الۡبَشِيۡرُ اَلۡقٰٮهُ عَلٰى وَجۡهِهٖ فَارۡتَدَّ بَصِيۡرًا ۚ قَالَ اَلَمۡ اَقُلْ لَّكُمۡ اِنِّىۡۤ اَعۡلَمُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُوۡنَ ٩٦
12:96
And when the bearer of good tidings arrived, he cast [the shirt] over his face, and Jacob returned to sight. He said, "Did I not tell you that I know from Allah that which you do not know?"
قَالُوۡا يٰۤاَبَانَا اسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوۡبَنَاۤ ۖۚ اِنَّا كُنَّا خٰطِئِيۡنَ ٩٧
12:97
They said, "O our father, ask forgiveness for us for our sins; indeed, we were sinners."
قَالَ سَوۡفَ اَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكُمۡ رَبِّىۡ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡغَفُوۡرُ الرَّحِيۡمُ ٩٨
12:98
He said, "I will ask forgiveness for you from my Lord; indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful."
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا عَلٰى يُوۡسُفَ اٰوٰۤى اِلَيۡهِ اَبَوَيۡهِ وَقَالَ ادۡخُلُوۡا مِصۡرَ اِنۡ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ اٰمِنِيۡنَ ٩٩
12:99
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to [stay] with him and said, "Enter Egypt, Allah willing, safe [and secure].
وَرَفَعَ اَبَوَيۡهِ عَلَى الۡعَرۡشِ وَخَرُّوۡا لَهٗ سُجَّدًا ۚ وَقَالَ يٰۤاَبَتِ هٰذَا تَاۡوِيۡلُ رُءۡيَاىَ مِنۡ قَبۡلُ ۖ قَدۡ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّىۡ حَقًّا ؕ وَقَدۡ اَحۡسَنَ بِىۡۤ اِذۡ اَخۡرَجَنِىۡ مِنَ السِّجۡنِ وَجَآءَ بِكُمۡ مِّنَ الۡبَدۡوِ مِنۡۢ بَعۡدِ اَنۡ نَّزَغَ الشَّيۡطٰنُ بَيۡنِىۡ وَبَيۡنَ اِخۡوَتِىۡ ؕ اِنَّ رَبِّىۡ لَطِيۡفٌ لِّمَا يَشَآءُ ؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡعَلِيۡمُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ ١٠٠
12:100
And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they bowed down to him in prostration. And he said, "O my father, this is the interpretation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was certainly good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you from the desert after Satan had caused discord between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is Subtle in what He wills. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise."
رَبِّ قَدۡ اٰتَيۡتَنِىۡ مِنَ الۡمُلۡكِ وَعَلَّمۡتَنِىۡ مِنۡ تَاۡوِيۡلِ الۡاَحَادِيۡثِ ۚ فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ ۫ اَنۡتَ وَلِىّٖ فِىۡ الدُّنۡيَا وَالۡاٰخِرَةِ ۚ تَوَفَّنِىۡ مُسۡلِمًا وَّاَلۡحِقۡنِىۡ بِالصّٰلِحِيۡنَ ١٠١
12:101
My Lord, You have given me [a share] of sovereignty and taught me of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous."
ذٰلِكَ مِنۡ اَنۡۢبَآءِ الۡغَيۡبِ نُوۡحِيۡهِ اِلَيۡكَ ۚ وَمَا كُنۡتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ اِذۡ اَجۡمَعُوۡۤا اَمۡرَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَمۡكُرُوۡنَ ١٠٢
12:102
That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they put together their plan while they conspired.
وَمَاۤ اَكۡثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوۡ حَرَصۡتَ بِمُؤۡمِنِيۡنَ ١٠٣
12:103
And most of the people, however much you might desire it, are not believers.
وَمَا تَسۡـَٔلُهُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ اَجۡرٍ ؕ اِنۡ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكۡرٌ لِّلۡعٰلَمِيۡنَ ١٠٤
12:104
And you do not ask of them for it any reward. It is not but a reminder to the worlds.
وَكَاَيِّنۡ مِّنۡ اٰيَةٍ فِىۡ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَالۡاَرۡضِ يَمُرُّوۡنَ عَلَيۡهَا وَهُمۡ عَنۡهَا مُعۡرِضُوۡنَ ١٠٥
12:105
And how many a sign within the heavens and earth do they pass over while they are turning away from it.
وَمَا يُؤۡمِنُ اَكۡثَرُهُمۡ بِاللّٰهِ اِلَّا وَهُمۡ مُّشۡرِكُوۡنَ ١٠٦
12:106
And most of them believe not in Allah except while they associate others with Him.
اَفَاَمِنُوۡۤا اَنۡ تَاۡتِيَهُمۡ غَاشِيَةٌ مِّنۡ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اَوۡ تَاۡتِيَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغۡتَةً وَّهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُوۡنَ ١٠٧
12:107
Then did they feel secure that there would not come to them an overwhelming calamity from the punishment of Allah or that the Hour would not come upon them suddenly while they do not perceive?
قُلۡ هٰذِهٖ سَبِيۡلِىۡۤ اَدۡعُوۡۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ ؔ عَلٰى بَصِيۡرَةٍ اَنَا وَمَنِ اتَّبَعَنِىۡ ؕ وَسُبۡحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَمَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الۡمُشۡرِكِيۡنَ ١٠٨
12:108
Say, "This is my way: I invite to Allah with sure knowledge - I and whoever follows me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him."
وَمَاۤ اَرۡسَلۡنَا مِنۡ قَبۡلِكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوۡحِىۡۤ اِلَيۡهِمۡ مِّنۡ اَهۡلِ الۡقُرٰى ؕ اَفَلَمۡ يَسِيۡرُوۡا فِى الۡاَرۡضِ فَيَنۡظُرُوۡا كَيۡفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِيۡنَ مِنۡ قَبۡلِهِمۡ ؕ وَلَدَارُ الۡاٰخِرَةِ خَيۡرٌ لِّلَّذِيۡنَ اتَّقَوۡا ؕ اَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُوۡنَ ١٠٩
12:109
And We sent not before you except men to whom We revealed [Our message] from among the people of [those] cities. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is better for those who fear Allah; then will you not reason?
حَتّٰىۤ اِذَا اسۡتَيۡـَٔسَ الرُّسُلُ وَظَنُّوۡۤا اَنَّهُمۡ قَدۡ كُذِبُوۡا جَآءَهُمۡ نَصۡرُنَا فَنُجِّىَ مَنۡ نَّشَآءُ ؕ وَلَا يُرَدُّ بَاۡسُنَا عَنِ الۡقَوۡمِ الۡمُجۡرِمِيۡنَ ١١٠
12:110
[Contest continued] until, when the messengers despaired and thought that they were denied, Our help came to them, and whoever We willed was saved. And Our punishment is not removed from the criminal people.
لَقَدۡ كَانَ فِىۡ قَصَصِهِمۡ عِبۡرَةٌ لِّاُولِى الۡاَلۡبَابِ ؕ مَا كَانَ حَدِيۡثًا يُّفۡتَرٰى وَلٰكِنۡ تَصۡدِيۡقَ الَّذِىۡ بَيۡنَ يَدَيۡهِ وَتَفۡصِيۡلَ كُلِّ شَىۡءٍ وَّهُدًى وَّرَحۡمَةً لِّقَوۡمٍ يُّؤۡمِنُوۡنَ ١١١
12:111
There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. Never was it a narration invented, but [it is] a confirmation of [previous scriptures] and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe.
