Saheeh InternationalIndeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand
Yusuf AliWe have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom
«إنا أنزلناه قرآنا عربيا» بلغة العرب «لعلكم» يا أهل مكة «تعقلون» تفقهون معانيه.
Saheeh InternationalWe relate to you, [O Muhammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur'an although you were, before it, among the unaware
Yusuf AliWe do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that We reveal to thee this (portion of the) Qur'an: before this, thou too was among those who knew it not
«نحن نقص عليك أحسن القصص بما أوحينا» بإيحائنا «إليك هذا القرآن وإن» مخففة أي وإنه «كنت من قبله لمن الغافلين».
Saheeh International[Of these stories mention] 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
Yusuf AliBehold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me
اذكر «إذ قال يوسف لأبيه» يعقوب «يا أبت» بالكسر دلالة على ياء الإضافة المحذوفة والفتح دلالة على ألف محذوفة قلبت عن الياء «إني رأيت» في المنام «أحد عشر كوكبا والشمس والقمر رأيتهم» تأكيد «لي ساجدين» جمع بالياء والنون للوصف بالسجود الذي هو من صفات العقلاء.
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy
Yusuf AliSaid (the father): "My (dear) little son! relate not thy vision to thy brothers, lest they concoct a plot against thee: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy
«قال يا بني لا تقصص رؤياك على إخوتك فيكيدوا لك كيدا» يحتالون في هلاكك حسدا لعلمهم بتأويلها من أنهم الكواكب والشمس أمك والقمر أبوك «إن الشيطان للإنسان عدو مبين» ظاهر العداوة.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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
Yusuf AliThus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favour to thee and to the posterity of Jacob - even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime! for God is full of know ledge and wisdom
«وكذلك» كما رأيت «يجتبيك» يختارك «ربك ويعلمك من تأويل الأحاديث» تعبير الرؤيا «ويتم نعمته عليك» بالنبوة «وعلى آل يعقوب» أولاده «كما أتمها» بالنبوة «على أبويك من قبل إبراهيم وإسحاق إن ربك عليم» بخلقه «حكيم» في صنعه بهم.
Saheeh InternationalCertainly were there in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask
Yusuf AliVerily in Joseph and his brethren are signs (or symbols) for seekers (after Truth)
«لقد كان في» خبر «يوسف وإخوته» وهم أحد عشر «آيات» عبر «للسائلين» عن خبرهم.
Saheeh InternationalWhen they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a clan. Indeed, our father is in clear error
Yusuf AliThey said: "Truly Joseph and his brother are loved more by our father than we: But we are a goodly body! really our father is obviously wandering (in his mind)
اذكر «إذ قالوا» أي بعض إخوة يوسف لبعضهم «ليوسف» مبتدأ «وأخوه» شقيقه بنيامين «أحب» خبر «إلى أبينا منا ونحن عصبة» جماعة «إن أبانا لفي ضلال» خطأ «مبين» بين بإيثارهما علينا.
Saheeh InternationalKill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the countenance of your father will [then] be only for you, and you will be after that a righteous people
Yusuf AliSlay ye Joseph or cast him out to some (unknown) land, that so the favour of your father may be given to you alone: (there will be time enough) for you to be righteous after that
«اقتلوا يوسف أو اطرحوه أرضا» أي بأرض بعيدة «يخل لكم وجه أبيكم» بأن يقبل عليكم ولا يلتفت لغيركم «وتكونوا من بعده» أي بعد قتل يوسف أو طرحه «قوما صالحين» بأن تتوبوا.
Saheeh InternationalSaid a speaker among them, "Do not kill Joseph but throw him into the bottom of the well; some travelers will pick him up - if you would do [something]
Yusuf AliSaid one of them: "Slay not Joseph, but if ye must do something, throw him down to the bottom of the well: he will be picked up by some caravan of travellers
«قال قائل منهم» هو يهوذا «لا تقتلوا يوسف وألقوه» اطرحوه «في غيابت الجب» مظلم البئر في قراءة بالجمع «يلتقطه بعض السيارة» المسافرين «إن كنتم فاعلين» ما أردتم من التفريق فاكتفوا بذلك.
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors
Yusuf AliThey said: "O our father! why dost thou not trust us with Joseph,- seeing we are indeed his sincere well-wishers
«قالوا يا أبانا مالك لا تأمنا على يوسف وإنا له لناصحون» لقائمون بمصالحه.
Saheeh InternationalSend him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians
Yusuf AliSend him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and we shall take every care of him
«أرسله معنا غدا» إلى الصحراء «نرتع ونلعب» بالنون والياء فيهما ننشط ونتسع «وإنَّا له لحافظون».
Saheeh International[Jacob] 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
Yusuf Ali(Jacob) said: "Really it saddens me that ye should take him away: I fear lest the wolf should devour him while ye attend not to him
«قال إني ليحزنني أن تذهبوا» أي ذهابكم «به» لفراقه «وأخاف أن يأكله الذئب» المراد به الجنس وكانت أرضهم كثيرة الذئاب «وأنتم عنه غافلون» مشغلون.
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers
Yusuf AliThey said: "If the wolf were to devour him while we are (so large) a party, then should we indeed (first) have perished ourselves
«قالوا لإن» لام قسم «أكله الذئب ونحن عصبة» جماعة «إنا إذا لخاسرون» عاجزون فأرسله معهم.
Saheeh InternationalSo when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]
Yusuf AliSo they did take him away, and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): 'Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not
«فلما ذهبوا به وأجمعوا» عزموا «أن يجعلوه في غيابت الجب» وجواب لما محذوف أي فعلوا ذلك بأن نزعوا قميصه بعد ضربه وإهانته وإرادة قتله وأدلوه فلما وصل إلى نصف البئر ألقوه ليموت فسقط في الماء ثم أوى إلى صخرة فنادوه فأجابهم يظن رحمتهم فأرادوا رضخه بصخرة فمنعهم يهوذا «وأوحينا إليه» في الجب وحي حقيقة وله سبع عشرة سنة أو دونها تطمينا لقلبه «لتنبئنهم» بعد اليوم «بأمرهم» بصنيعهم «هذا وهم لا يشعرون» بك حال الإنباء.
Saheeh InternationalAnd they came to their father at night, weeping
Yusuf AliThen they came to their father in the early part of the night, weeping
«وجاءُوا أباهم عِشاءً» وقت المساء «يبكون».
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful
Yusuf AliThey said: "O our father! We went racing with one another, and left Joseph with our things; and the wolf devoured him.... But thou wilt never believe us even though we tell the truth
«قالوا يا أبانا إنا ذهبا نستبقُ» نرمي «وتركنا يوسف عند متاعنا» ثيابنا «فأكله الذئب وما أنت بمؤمن» بمصدق «لنا ولو كنا صادقين» عندك لاتهمتنا في هذه القصة لمحبة يوسف فكيف وأنت تسيء الظن بنا.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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
Yusuf AliThey stained his shirt with false blood. He said: "Nay, but your minds have made up a tale (that may pass) with you, (for me) patience is most fitting: Against that which ye assert, it is God (alone) Whose help can be sought
«وجاءُوا على قميصه» محله نصب على الظرفية أي فوقه «بدم كذب» أي ذي كذب بأن ذبحوا سخلة ولطخوه بدمها وذهلوا عن شقه وقالوا إنه دمه «قال» يعقوب لما رآه صحيحا وعلم كذبهم «بل سوَّلت» زينت «لكم أنفسكم أمرا» ففعلتموه به «فصبر جميل» لا جزع فيه، وهو خبر مبتدأ محذوف أي أمري «والله المستعان» المطلوب منه العون «على ما تصفون» تذكرون من أمر يوسف.
Saheeh InternationalAnd there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did
Yusuf AliThen there came a caravan of travellers: they sent their water-carrier (for water), and he let down his bucket (into the well)...He said: "Ah there! Good news! Here is a (fine) young man!" So they concealed him as a treasure! But God knoweth w ell all that they do
«وجاءت سيارة» مسافرون من مدين إلى مصر فنزلوا قريبا من جب يوسف «فأرسلوا واردهم» الذي يرد الماء ليستقي منه «فأدلى» أرسل «دلوه» في البئر فتعلق بها يوسف فأخرجه فلما رآه «قال يا بشراي» وفي قراءة بشرى ونداؤها مجاز أي احضري فهذا وقتك «هذا غلام» فعلم به إخوته فأتوه «وأسَرُّوه» أي أخفوا أمره جاعليه «بضاعة» بأن قالوا هذا عبدنا أبق، وسكت يوسف خوفا من أن يقتلوه «والله عليم بما يعملون».
Saheeh InternationalAnd they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little
Yusuf AliThe (Brethren) sold him for a miserable price, for a few dirhams counted out: in such low estimation did they hold him
«وشروه» باعوه منهم «بثمن بخس» ناقص «دراهم معدودة» عشرين أو اثنين وعشرين «وكانوا» أي إخوته «فيه من الزاهدين» فجاءت به السيارة إلى مصر فباعه الذي اشتراه بعشرين دينارا وزوجي نعل وثوبين.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will 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
Yusuf AliThe man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And God hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not
«وقال الذي اشتراه من مصر» وهو قطفير العزيز «لامرأته» زليخا «أكرمي مثواه» مقامه عندنا «عسى أن ينفعنا أو نتخذه ولدا» وكان حصورا «وكذلك» كما نجيناه من القتل والجب وعطفنا عليه قلب العزيز «مكنَّا ليوسف في الأرض» أرض مصر حتى بلغ ما بلغ «ولنعلِّمه من تأويل الأحاديث» تعبير الرؤيا عطف على مقدر متعلق بمكنا أي لنملكه أو الواو زائدة «والله غالب على أمره» تعالى لا يعجزه شيء «ولكن أكثر الناس» وهم الكفار «لا يعلمون» ذلك.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when Joseph reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good
Yusuf AliWhen Joseph attained His full manhood, We gave him power and knowledge: thus do We reward those who do right
«ولما بلغ أشده» وهو ثلاثون سنة أو وثلاث «آتيناه حكما» حكمة «وعلما» فقها في الدين قبل أن يبعث نبيا «وكذلك» كما جزيناه «نجزي المحسنين» لأنفسهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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 is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed
Yusuf AliBut she in whose house he was, sought to seduce him from his (true) self: she fastened the doors, and said: "Now come, thou (dear one)!" He said: "God forbid! truly (thy husband) is my lord! he made my sojourn agreeable! truly to no good come those who do wrong
«وراودته التي هو في بيتها» هي زليخا «عن نفسه» أي طلبت منه أن يواقعها «وغلَّقت الأبواب» للبيت «وقالت» له «هيْت لك» أي هلم واللام للتبيين وفي قراءة بكسر الهاء وأخرى بضم التاء «قال معاذ الله» أعوذ بالله من ذلك «إنه» الذي اشتراني «ربي» سيدي «أحسن مثواي» مقامي فلا أخونه في أهله «إنه» أي الشأن «لا يفلح الظالمون» الزناة.
Saheeh InternationalAnd she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants
Yusuf AliAnd (with passion) did she desire him, and he would have desired her, but that he saw the evidence of his Lord: thus (did We order) that We might turn away from him (all) evil and shameful deeds: for he was one of Our servants, sincere and pur ified
«ولقد همَّت به» قصدت منه الجماع «وهمَّ بها» قصد ذلك «لولا أن رأى برهان ربه» قال ابن عباس مَثُل له يعقوب فضرب صدره فخرجت شهوته من أنامله وجواب لولا لجامعها «كذلك» أريناه البرهان «لنصرف عنه السوء» الخيانة «والفحشاء» الزنا «إنه من عبادنا المخلصين» في الطاعة وفي قراءة بفتح اللام أي المختارين.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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 be imprisoned or a painful punishment
Yusuf AliSo they both raced each other to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back: they both found her lord near the door. She said: "What is the (fitting) punishment for one who formed an evil design against thy wife, but prison or a grievous c hastisement
«واستبقا الباب» بادر إليه يوسف للفرار وهي للتشبث به فأمسكت ثوبه وجذبته إليها «وقدَّت» شقت «قميصه من دبر وألفيا» وجدا «سيدها» زوجها «لدى الباب» فنزعت نفسها ثم «قالت ما جزاء من أراد بأهلك سوءا» زنا «إلا أن يسجن» يحبس في سجن «أو عذاب أليم» مؤلم بأن يضرب.
Saheeh International[Joseph] said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified. "If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars
Yusuf AliHe said: "It was she that sought to seduce me - from my (true) self." And one of her household saw (this) and bore witness, (thus):- "If it be that his shirt is rent from the front, then is her tale true, and he is a liar
«قال» يوسف متبرئا «هي راودتني عن نفسي وشهد شاهد من أهلها» ابن عمها، روي أنه كان في المهد فقال «إن كان قميصه قُدَّ من قُبل» قدام «فصدقت وهو من الكاذبين»
Saheeh InternationalBut if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful
Yusuf AliBut if it be that his shirt is torn from the back, then is she the liar, and he is telling the truth
«وإن كان قميصه قُدَّ من دبُر» خلف «فكذبت وهو من الصادقين».
Saheeh InternationalSo when her husband saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, it is of the women's plan. Indeed, your plan is great
Yusuf AliSo when he saw his shirt,- that it was torn at the back,- (her husband) said: "Behold! It is a snare of you women! truly, mighty is your snare
«فلما رأى» زوجها «قميصه قُدّ من دبر قال إنه» أي قولك (ما جزاء من أراد) إلخ «من كيدكن» أيها النساء «إن كيدكن عظيم».
Saheeh InternationalJoseph, ignore this. And, [my wife], ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you were of the sinful
Yusuf AliO Joseph, pass this over! (O wife), ask forgiveness for thy sin, for truly thou hast been at fault
ثم قال يا «يوسف أعرض عن هذا» الأمر ولا تذكره لئلا يشيع «واستغفري» يا زليخا «لذنبك إنك كنت من الخاطئين» الآثمين، واشتهر الخبر وشاع.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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 see her [to be] in clear error
Yusuf AliLadies said in the City: "The wife of the (great) 'Aziz is seeking to seduce her slave from his (true) self: Truly hath he inspired her with violent love: we see she is evidently going astray
«وقال نسوة في المدينة» مدينة مصر «امرأة العزيز تراود فتاها» عبدها «عن نفسه قد شغفها حبا» تمييز، أي دخل حبه شغاف قلبها، أي غلافه «إنا لنراها في ضلال» أي في خطأ «مبين» بيِّن بحبها إياه.
Saheeh InternationalSo when she heard of their scheming, 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 and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel
Yusuf AliWhen she heard of their malicious talk, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them: she gave each of them a knife: and she said (to Joseph), "Come out before them." When they saw him, they did extol him, and (in their amazement) cut th eir hands: they said, "God preserve us! no mortal is this! this is none other than a noble angel
«فلما سمعت بمكرهن» غيبتهن لها «أرسلت إليهن وأعتدت» أعدت «لهن متكأ» طعاما يقطع بالسكين للاتكاء عنده وهو الأترج «وآتت» أعطت «كل واحدة منهن سكينا وقالت» ليوسف «اخرج عليهن فلما رأينه أكبرنه» أعظمنه «وقطَّعن أيديهن» بالسكاكين ولم يشعرن بالألم لشغل قلبهن بيوسف «وقلن حاش لله» تنزيها له «ما هذا» أي يوسف «بشرا إن» ما «هذا إلا ملك كريم» لما حواه من الحسن الذي لا يكون عادة في النسمة البشرية، وفي الحديث (أنه أعطي شطر الحسن).
Saheeh InternationalShe said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he will not do what I order him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of those debased
Yusuf AliShe said: "There before you is the man about whom ye did blame me! I did seek to seduce him from his (true) self but he did firmly save himself guiltless!....and now, if he doth not my bidding, he shall certainly be cast into prison, and (what is more) be of the company of the vilest
«قالت» امرأة العزيز لما رأت ما حل بهن «فذلكن» فهذا هو «الذي لمتنني فيه» في حبه بيان لعذرها «ولقد راودته عن نفسه فاستعصم» امتنع «ولإن لم يفعل ما آمره» به «ليسجنن وليكونا من الصاغرين» الذليلين فقلن له أطع مولاتك.
Saheeh InternationalHe 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 of the ignorant
Yusuf AliHe said: "O my Lord! the prison is more to my liking than that to which they invite me: Unless Thou turn away their snare from me, I should (in my youthful folly) feel inclined towards them and join the ranks of the ignorant
«قال رب السجن أحبُ إليّ مما يدعونني إليه وإلا تصرف عني كيدهن أصْبُ» أمل «إليهن وأكن» أصر «من الجاهلين» المذنبين والقصد بذلك الدعاء فلذا قال تعالى.
Saheeh InternationalSo his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing
Yusuf AliSo his Lord hearkened to him (in his prayer), and turned away from him their snare: Verily He heareth and knoweth (all things)
«فاستجاب له ربه» دعاءه «فصرف عنه كيدهن إنه هو السميع» للقول «العليم» بالفعل.
Saheeh InternationalThen it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that al-'Azeez should surely imprison him for a time
Yusuf AliThen it occurred to the men, after they had seen the signs, (that it was best) to imprison him for a time
«ثم بدا» ظهر «لهم من بعد ما رأوا الآيات» الدالات على براءة يوسف أن يسجنوه دل على هذا «ليسجننه حتى» إلى «حين» ينقطع فيه كلام الناس فسجن.
Saheeh InternationalAnd there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." 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
Yusuf AliNow with him there came into the prison two young men. Said one of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing wine." said the other: "I see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head, and birds are eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said) "The truth and meaning thereof: for we see thou art one that doth good (to all)
«ودخل معه السجن فتيان» غلامان للملك أحدهما ساقيه والآخر صاحب طعامه فرأياه يعبر الرؤيا فقالا لنختبرنه «قال أحدهما» وهو الساقي «إني أراني أعصر خمرا» أي عنبا «وقال الآخر» وهو صاحب الطعام «إني أراني أحمل فوق رأسي خبزا تأكل الطير منه نبئنا» خبرنا «بتأويله» بتعبيره «إنا نراك من المحسنين».
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "You will not receive food that is provided to you except 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, in the Hereafter, are disbelievers
Yusuf AliHe said: "Before any food comes (in due course) to feed either of you, I will surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this ere it befall you: that is part of the (duty) which my Lord hath taught me. I have (I assure you) abandoned the way s of a people that believe not in God and that (even) deny the Hereafter
«قال» لهما مخبرا أنه عالم بتعبير الرؤيا «لا يأتيكما طعام ترزقانه» في منامكما «إلا نبأتكما بتأويله» في اليقظة «قبل أن يأتيكما» تأويله «ذلكما مما علمني ربي» فيه حث على إيمانهما ثم قوّاه بقوله «إني تركت ملة» دين «قوم لا يؤمنون بالله وهم بالآخرة هم» تأكيد «كافرون».
Saheeh InternationalAnd I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allah. That is from the favor of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful
Yusuf AliAnd I follow the ways of my fathers,- Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob; and never could we attribute any partners whatever to God: that (comes) of the grace of God to us and to mankind: yet most men are not grateful
«واتبعت ملة آبائي إبراهيم وإسحاق ويعقوب ما كان» ينبغي «لنا أن نشرك بالله من» زائدة «شيء» لعصمتنا «ذلك» التوحيد «من فضل الله علينا وعلى الناس ولكن أكثر الناس» وهم الكفار «لا يشكرون» الله فيشركون ثم صرح بدعائهما إلى الإيمان فقال.
Saheeh InternationalO [my] two companions of prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing
Yusuf AliO my two companions of the prison! (I ask you): are many lords differing among themselves better, or the One God, Supreme and Irresistible
«يا صاحبي» ساكني «السجن أأرباب متفرقون خير أم الله الواحد القهار» خير؟ استفهام تقرير.
Saheeh InternationalYou worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, 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
Yusuf AliIf not Him, ye worship nothing but names which ye have named,- ye and your fathers,- for which God hath sent down no authority: the command is for none but God: He hath commanded that ye worship none but Him: that is the right religion, but most men understand not
«ما تعبدون من دونه» أي غيره «إلا أسماء سميتموها» سميتم بها أصناما «أنتم وآباؤكم ما أنزل الله بها» بعادتها «من سلطان» حجة وبرهان «إن» ما «الحكم» القضاء «إلا لله» وحده «أمر ألا تعبدوا إلا إياه ذلك» التوحيد «الدين القيم» المستقيم «ولكنَّ أكثر الناس» وهم الكفار «لا يعلمون» ما يصيرون إليه من العذاب فيشركون.
Saheeh InternationalO two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; 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 inquire
Yusuf AliO my two companions of the prison! As to one of you, he will pour out the wine for his lord to drink: as for the other, he will hang from the cross, and the birds will eat from off his head. (so) hath been decreed that matter whereof ye twain do enquire
«يا صاحبي السجن أما أحدكما» أي الساقي فيخرج بعد ثلاث «فيسقي ربه» سيده «خمرا» على عادته «وأما الآخر» فيخرج بعد ثلاث «فيصلب فتأكل الطير من رأسه» هذا تأويل رؤياكما فقالا ما رأينا شيئا فقال «قضي» تمَّ «الأمر الذي فيه تستفتيان» سألتما عنه صدقتما أم كذبتما.
Saheeh InternationalAnd he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master." But Satan made him forget the mention [to] his master, and Joseph remained in prison several years
Yusuf AliAnd of the two, to that one whom he consider about to be saved, he said: "Mention me to thy lord." But Satan made him forget to mention him to his lord: and (Joseph) lingered in prison a few (more) years
«وقال للذي ظن» أيقن «أنه ناج منهما» وهو الساقي «اذكرني عند ربك» سيدك فقل له إن في السجن غلاما محبوسا ظلما فخرج «فأنساه» أي الساقي «الشيطان ذكْرَ» يوسف عند «ربه فلبث» مكث يوسف «في السجن بضع سنين» قيل سبعا وقيل اثنتي عشرة.
Saheeh InternationalAnd [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
Yusuf AliThe king (of Egypt) said: "I do see (in a vision) seven fat kine, whom seven lean ones devour, and seven green ears of corn, and seven (others) withered. O ye chiefs! Expound to me my vision if it be that ye can interpret visions
«وقال الملك» ملك مصر الريان بن الوليد «إني أرى» أي رأيت «سبع بقرات سمان يأكلهن» يبتلعهن «سبع» من البقر «عجاف» جمع عجفاء «وسبع سنبلات خضر وأخر» أي سبع سنبلات «يابسات» قد التوت على الخضر وعلت عليها «يا أيها الملأ أفتوني في رؤياي» بينوا لي تعبيرها «إن كنتم للرؤيا تعبرون» فاعبروها.
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "[It is but] a mixture of false dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams
Yusuf AliThey said: "A confused medley of dreams: and we are not skilled in the interpretation of dreams
«قالوا» هذه «أضغاث أحلام» أخلاط «وما نحن بتأويل الأحلام بعالمين».
Saheeh InternationalBut the one who was freed and remembered after a time said, "I will inform you of its interpretation, so send me forth
Yusuf AliBut the man who had been released, one of the two (who had been in prison) and who now bethought him after (so long) a space of time, said: "I will tell you the truth of its interpretation: send ye me (therefore)
«وقال الذي نجا منهما» أي من الفَتَيِيْنِ وهو الساقي «وادَّكر» فيه إبدال التاء في الأصل دالا وإدغامها في الدال أي تذكر «بعد أُمَّةٍ» حينِ حال يوسف «أنا أنبئكم بتأويله فأرسلون» فأرسلوه فأتى يوسف فقال.
Saheeh International[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [about you]
Yusuf AliO Joseph!" (he said) "O man of truth! Expound to us (the dream) of seven fat kine whom seven lean ones devour, and of seven green ears of corn and (seven) others withered: that I may return to the people, and that they may understand

Saheeh International[Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest leave in its spikes, except a little from which you will eat
Yusuf Ali(Joseph) said: "For seven years shall ye diligently sow as is your wont: and the harvests that ye reap, ye shall leave them in the ear,- except a little, of which ye shall eat
«قال تزرعون» أي ازرعوا «سبع سنين دأبا» متتابعة وهي تأويل السبع السمان «فما حصدتم فذروه» أي اتركوه «في سنبله» لئلا يفسد «إلا قليلا مما تأكلون» فادرسوه.
Saheeh InternationalThen will come after that seven difficult [years] which will consume what you saved for them, except a little from which you will store
Yusuf AliThen will come after that (period) seven dreadful (years), which will devour what ye shall have laid by in advance for them,- (all) except a little which ye shall have (specially) guarded
«ثم يأتي من بعد ذلك» أي السبع المخصبات «سبع شداد» مجدبات صعاب وهي تأويل السبع العجاف «يأكلن ما قدمتم لهن» من الحب المزروع في السنين المخصبات أي تأكلونه «إلا قليلا مما تحصنون» تدخرون.
Saheeh InternationalThen will come after that a year in which the people will be given rain and in which they will press [olives and grapes]

Saheeh InternationalAnd the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan
Yusuf AliSo the king said: "Bring ye him unto me." But when the messenger came to him, (Joseph) said: "Go thou back to thy lord, and ask him, 'What is the state of mind of the ladies who cut their hands'? For my Lord is certainly well aware of their sn are
«وقال الملك» لما جاءه الرسول وأخبره بتأويلها «ائتوني به» أي بالذي عبرها «فلما جاءه» أي يوسف «الرسول» وطلبه للخروج «قال» قاصدا إظهار براءته «ارجع إلى ربك فاسأله» أن يسأل «ما بال» حال «النسوة اللاتي قطعن أيديهن إن ربي» سيدي «بكيدهن عليم» فرجع فأخبر الملك فجمعهن.
Saheeh InternationalSaid [the king to the women], "What was your condition when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Perfect is Allah! We know about him no evil." The wife of al-'Azeez said, "Now the truth has become evident. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful
Yusuf Ali(The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair when ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "God preserve us! no evil know we against him!" Said the 'Aziz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (to all): it was I who sought to seduce him from his (true) self: He is indeed of those who are (ever) true (and virtuous)
«قال ما خطبكن» شأنكن «إذ راودتن يوسف عن نفسه» هل وجدتن منه ميلا إليكن «قلن حاش لله ما علمنا عليه من سوء قالت امرأة العزيز الآن حصحص» وضح «الحق أنا راودته عن نفسه وإنه لمن الصادقين» في قوله (هي راودتني عن نفسي) فأخبر يوسف بذلك فقال.
Saheeh InternationalThat is so al-'Azeez will know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allah does not guide the plan of betrayers
Yusuf AliThis (say I), in order that He may know that I have never been false to him in his absence, and that God will never guide the snare of the false ones
«ذلك» أي طلب البراءة «ليعلم» العزيز «أني لم أخنه» في أهله «بالغيب» حال «وأن الله لا يهدي كيد الخائنين» ثم تواضع لله فقال.
Saheeh InternationalAnd I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is a persistent enjoiner of evil, except those upon which my Lord has mercy. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful
Yusuf AliNor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft- forgiving, Most Merciful
«وما أبري نفسي» من الزلل «إن النفس» الجنس «لأمَّارة» كثيرة الأمر «بالسوء إلا ما» بمعنى من «رحم ربي» فعصمه «إن ربي غفور رحيم».
Saheeh InternationalAnd the king said, "Bring him to me; I will appoint him exclusively for myself." And when he spoke to him, he said, "Indeed, you are today established [in position] and trusted

«وقال الملك ائتوني به أستخلصه لنفسي» أجعله خالصا لي دون شريك فجاءه الرسول وقال: أجب الملك فقام وودع أهل السجن ودعا لهم ثم اغتسل ولبس ثيابا حسانا ودخل عليه «فلما كلمه قال» له «إنك اليوم لدينا مكين أمين» ذو مكانة وأمانة على أمرنا فماذا ترى أن نفعل؟ قال: اجمع الطعام وازرع زرعا كثيرا في هذه السنين المخصبة وادخر الطعام في سنبله فتأتي إليك الخلق ليمتاروا منك فقال: ومن لي بهذا؟.
Saheeh International[Joseph] said, "Appoint me over the storehouses of the land. Indeed, I will be a knowing guardian
Yusuf Ali(Joseph) said: "Set me over the store-houses of the land: I will indeed guard them, as one that knows (their importance)
«قال» يوسف «اجعلني على خزائن الأرض» أرض مصر «إني حفيظ عليم» ذو حفظ وعلم بأمرها، وقيل كاتب حاسب.
Saheeh InternationalAnd thus We established Joseph in the land to settle therein wherever he willed. We touch with Our mercy whom We will, and We do not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good
Yusuf AliThus did We give established power to Joseph in the land, to take possession therein as, when, or where he pleased. We bestow of our Mercy on whom We please, and We suffer not, to be lost, the reward of those who do good
«وكذلك» كإنعامنا عليه بالخلاص من السجن «مكنَّا ليوسف في الأرض» أرض مصر «يتبوّأُ» ينزل «منها حيث يشاء» بعد الضيق والحبس وفي القصة أن الملك توَّجه وختَّمه وولاه مكان العزيز وعزله ومات بعد، فزوجه امرأته فوجدها عذراء وولدت له ولدين، وأقام العدل بمصر ودانت له الرقاب «نصيب برحمتنا من نشاء ولا نضيع أجر المحسنين».
Saheeh InternationalAnd the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing Allah
Yusuf AliBut verily the reward of the Hereafter is the best, for those who believe, and are constant in righteousness
«ولأجر الآخرة خير» من أجر الدنيا «للذين آمنوا وكانوا يتقون» ودخلت سنو القحط وأصاب أرض كنعان والشام.
Saheeh InternationalAnd the brothers of Joseph came [seeking food], and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown
Yusuf AliThen came Joseph's brethren: they entered his presence, and he knew them, but they knew him not
«وجاء إخوة يوسف» إلا بنيامين ليمتاروا لما بلغهم أن عزيز مصر يعطي الطعام بثمنه «فدخلوا عليه فعرفهم» أنهم إخوته «وهم له منكرون» لا يعرفونه لبعد عهدهم به وظنهم هلاكه فكلموه بالعبرانية فقال كالمنكر عليهم: ما أقدمكم بلادي؟ فقالوا للميرة فقال لعلكم عيون قالوا معاذ الله قال فمن أين أنتم؟ قالوا من بلاد كنعان وأبونا يعقوب نبي الله، قال وله أولاد غيركم؟ قالوا نعم كنا اثني عشر فذهب أصغرنا هلك في البرية وكان أحبَّنا إليه وبقي شقيقه فاحتبسه ليتسلى به عنه فأمر بإنزالهم وإكرامهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do not you see that I give full measure and that I am the best of accommodators
Yusuf AliAnd when he had furnished them forth with provisions (suitable) for them, he said: "Bring unto me a brother ye have, of the same father as yourselves, (but a different mother): see ye not that I pay out full measure, and that I do provide the b est hospitality
«ولما جهزهم بجهازهم» وفى لهم كيلهم «قال ائتوني بأخ لكم من أبيكم» أي بنيامين لأعلم صدقكم فيما قلتم «ألا ترون أني أوفي الكيل» أتمه من غير بخس «وأنا خير المنزلين».
Saheeh InternationalBut if you do not bring him to me, no measure will there be [hereafter] for you from me, nor will you approach me
Yusuf AliNow if ye bring him not to me, ye shall have no measure (of corn) from me, nor shall ye (even) come near me
«فإن لم تأتوني به فلا كيل لكم عندي» أي ميرة «ولا تقربون» نهي أو عطف على محل فلا كيل أي تحرموا ولا تقربوا.
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "We will attempt to dissuade his father from [keeping] him, and indeed, we will do [it]
Yusuf AliThey said: "We shall certainly seek to get our wish about him from his father: Indeed we shall do it
«قالوا سنراود عنه أباه» سنجتهد في طلبه منه «وإنا لفاعلون» ذلك.
Saheeh InternationalAnd [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 [again] return
Yusuf AliAnd (Joseph) told his servants to put their stock-in-trade (with which they had bartered) into their saddle-bags, so they should know it only when they returned to their people, in order that they might come back
«وقال لفتيته» وفي قراءة لفتيانه غلمانه «اجعلوا بضاعتهم» التي أتوا بها ثمن الميرة وكانت دراهم «في رحالهم» أوعيتهم «لعلهم يعرفونها إذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم» وفرغوا أوعيتهم «لعلم يرجعون» إلينا لأنهم لا يستحلون إمساكها.
Saheeh InternationalSo when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, [further] measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother [that] we will be given measure. And indeed, we will be his guardians
Yusuf AliNow when they returned to their father, they said: "O our father! No more measure of grain shall we get (unless we take our brother): So send our brother with us, that we may get our measure; and we will indeed take every care of him
«فلما رجعوا إلى أبيهم قالوا: يا أبانا منع منا الكيل» إن لم ترسل أخانا إليه «فأرسل معنا أخانا نكتل» بالنون والياء «وإنا له لحافظون».
Saheeh InternationalHe said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful
Yusuf AliHe said: "Shall I trust you with him with any result other than when I trusted you with his brother aforetime? But God is the best to take care (of him), and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy
«قال هل» ما «آمنكم عليه إلا كما أمنتكم على أخيه» يوسف «من قبل» وقد فعلتم به ما فعلتم «فالله خير حفظا» وفي قراءة حافظا تمييز كقولهم لله دره فارسا «وهو أرحم الراحمين» فأرجو أن يمن بحفظه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd 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 obtain supplies for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement
Yusuf AliThen when they opened their baggage, they found their stock-in-trade had been returned to them. They said: "O our father! What (more) can we desire? this our stock-in-trade has been returned to us: so we shall get (more) food for our family; We shall take care of our brother; and add (at the same time) a full camel's load (of grain to our provisions). This is but a small quantity
«ولما فتحوا متاعهم وجدوا بضاعتهم ردت إليهم قالوا يا أبانا ما نبغي» ما استفهامية أي أيَّ نطلب من إكرام الملك أعظم من هذا وقرئ بالفوقانية خطابا ليعقوب وكانوا ذكروا له إكرامه لهم «هذه بضاعتنا ردت إلينا ونمير أهلنا» تأتي بالميرة لهم وهي الطعام «ونحفظ أخانا ونزداد كيل بعير» لأخينا «ذلك كيل يسير» سهل على الملك لسخائه.
Saheeh International[Jacob] said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise by Allah that you will bring him [back] to me, unless you should be surrounded by enemies." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allah, over what we say, is Witness
Yusuf Ali(Jacob) said: "Never will I send him with you until ye swear a solemn oath to me, in God's name, that ye will be sure to bring him back to me unless ye are yourselves hemmed in (and made powerless). And when they had sworn their solemn oath, h e said: "Over all that we say, be God the witness and guardian
«قال لن أرسله معكم حتى تؤتون موثقا» عهدا «من الله» بأن تحلفوا «لتأتنني به إلا أن يحاط بكم» بأن تموتوا أو تغلبوا فلا تطيقوا الإتيان به فأجابوه إلى ذلك «فلما آتوه موثقهم» بذلك «قال الله على ما نقول» نحن وأنتم «وكيل» شهيد وأرسله معهم.
Saheeh InternationalAnd he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates; and I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allah at all. The decision is only for Allah; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely
Yusuf AliFurther he said: "O my sons! enter not all by one gate: enter ye by different gates. Not that I can profit you aught against God (with my advice): None can command except God: On Him do I put my trust: and let all that trust put their trust o n Him
«وقال يا بني لا تدخلوا» مصر «من باب واحد وادخلوا من أبواب متفرقة» لئلا تصيبكم العين «وما أغني» أدفع «عنكم» بقولي ذلك «من الله من» زائدة «شيء» قدَّره عليكم وإنما ذلك شفقة «إن» ما «الحكم إلا لله» وحده «عليه توكلت» به وثقت «وعليه فليتوكل المتوكلون».
Saheeh InternationalAnd when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allah at all except [it was] a need within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know
Yusuf AliAnd when they entered in the manner their father had enjoined, it did not profit them in the least against (the plan of) God: It was but a necessity of Jacob's soul, which he discharged. For he was, by our instruction, full of knowledge (and e xperience): but most men know not
«قال تعالى: «ولما دخلوا من حيث أمرهم أبوهم» أي متفرقين «ما كان يغني عنهم من الله» أي قضائه «من» زائدة «شيء إلا» لكن «حاجة في نفس يعقوب قضاها» وهي إرادة دفع العين شفقة «وإنه لذو علم لما علمناه» لتعليمنا إياه «ولكن أكثر الناس» وهم الكفار «لا يعلمون» إلهام الله لأصفيائه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]
Yusuf AliNow when they came into Joseph's presence, he received his (full) brother to stay with him. He said (to him): "Behold! I am thy (own) brother; so grieve not at aught of their doings
«ولما دخلوا على يوسف آوى» ضم «إليه أخاه قال إني أنا أخوك فلا تبتئس» تحزن «بما كانوا يعملون» من الحسد لنا وأمره ألا يخبرهم وتواطأ معه على أنه سيحتال على أن يبقيه عنده.
Saheeh InternationalSo when he had furnished them with their supplies, he put the [gold measuring] bowl into the bag of his brother. Then an announcer called out, "O caravan, indeed you are thieves
Yusuf AliAt length when he had furnished them forth with provisions (suitable) for them, he put the drinking cup into his brother's saddle-bag. Then shouted out a crier: "O ye (in) the caravan! behold! ye are thieves, without doubt
«فلما جهزهم بجهازهم جعل السقاية» هي صاع من الذهب مرصع بالجوهر «في رحل أخيه» بنيامين «ثم أذن مؤذن» نادى مناد بعد انفصالهم عن مجلس يوسف «أيتها العير» القافلة «إنكم لسارقون».
Saheeh InternationalThey said while approaching them, "What is it you are missing
Yusuf AliThey said, turning towards them: "What is it that ye miss

«قالوا نفقد صواع» صاع «الملك ولمن جاء به حمل بعير» من الطعام «وأنا به» بالحمل «زعيم» كفيل.
Saheeh InternationalThey said, "By Allah, you have certainly known that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves
Yusuf Ali(The brothers) said: "By God! well ye know that we came not to make mischief in the land, and we are no thieves
«قالوا تالله» قسم فيه معنى التعجب «لقد علمتم ما جئنا لنفسد في الأرض وما كنا سارقين» ما سرقنا قط.
Saheeh InternationalThe accusers said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars
Yusuf Ali(The Egyptians) said: "What then shall be the penalty of this, if ye are (proved) to have lied
«قالوا» أي المؤذن وأصحابه «فما جزاؤه» أي السارق «إن كنتم كاذبين» في قولكم ما كنا سارقين ووجد فيكم.
Saheeh International[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
Yusuf AliThey said: "The penalty should be that he in whose saddle-bag it is found, should be held (as bondman) to atone for the (crime). Thus it is we punish the wrong- doers
«قالوا جزاؤه» مبتدأ خبره «من وجد في رحله» يُسْتَرق ثم أكد بقوله «فهو» أي السارق «جزاؤه» أي المسروق لا غير وكانت سنة آل يعقوب «كذلك» الجزاء «نجزي الظالمين» بالسرقة فصرحوا ليوسف بتفتيش أوعيتهم.
Saheeh InternationalSo 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 of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing
Yusuf AliSo he began (the search) with their baggage, before (he came to) the baggage of his brother: at length he brought it out of his brother's baggage. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not take his brother by the law of the king except that Go d willed it (so). We raise to degrees (of wisdom) whom We please: but over all endued with knowledge is one, the All-Knowing
«فبدأ بأوعيتهم» ففتشها «قبل وعاء أخيه» لئلا يتهم «ثم استخرجها» أي السقاية «من وعاء أخيه» قال تعالى: «كذلك» الكيد «كدنا ليوسف» علمناه الاحتيال في أخذ أخيه «ما كان» يوسف «ليأخذ أخاه» رقيقا عن السرقة «في دين الملك» حكم ملك مصر لأن جزاءه عنده الضرب وتغريم مثلي المسروق لا الاسترقاق «إلا أن يشاء الله» أخذه بحكم أبيه أي لم يتمكن من أخذه إلا بمشيئة الله بإلهامه سؤال إخوته وجوابهم بسنتهم «نرفع درجاتِ من نشاء» بالإضافة والتنوين في العلم كيوسف «وفوق كل ذي علم» من المخلوقين «عليم» أعلم منه حتى ينتهي إلى الله تعالى.
Saheeh InternationalThey 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
Yusuf AliThey said: "If he steals, there was a brother of his who did steal before (him)." But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart, revealing not the secrets to them. He (simply) said (to himself): "Ye are the worse situated; and God knowet h best the truth of what ye assert
«قالوا إن يسرق فقد سرق أخ له من قبل» أي يوسف وكان سرق لأبي أمه صنما من ذهب فكسره لئلا يعبده «فأسرها يوسف في نفسه ولم يبدها» يظهرها «لهم» والضمير للكلمة التي في قوله «قال» في نفسه «أنتم شر مكانا» من يوسف وأخيه لسرقتكم أخاكم من أبيكم وظلمكم له «والله أعلم» عالم «بما تصفون» تذكرون من أمره.
Saheeh InternationalThey 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
Yusuf AliThey said: "O exalted one! Behold! he has a father, aged and venerable, (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place; for we see that thou art (gracious) in doing good
«قالوا يا أيها العزيز إن له أبا شيخا كبيرا» يحبه أكثر منا ويتسلى به عن ولده الهالك ويحزنه ففراقه «فخذ أحدنا» استبعده «مكانه» بدلا منه «إنا نراك من المحسنين» في أفعالك.
Saheeh InternationalHe 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
Yusuf AliHe said: "God forbid that we take other than him with whom we found our property: indeed (if we did so), we should be acting wrongfully
«قال معاذ الله» نصب على المصدر حذف فعله وأضيف إلى المفعول أي نعوذ بالله من «أن نأخذ إلا من وجدنا متاعنا عنده» لم يقل من سرق تحرّزا من الكذب «إنا إذا» إن أخذنا غيره «لظالمون».
Saheeh InternationalSo 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
Yusuf AliNow when they saw no hope of his (yielding), they held a conference in private. The leader among them said: "Know ye not that your father did take an oath from you in God's name, and how, before this, ye did fail in your duty with Joseph? Ther efore will I not leave this land until my father permits me, or God commands me; and He is the best to command

Saheeh InternationalReturn to your father and say, "O our father, indeed your son has stolen, and we did not testify except to what we knew. And we were not witnesses of the unseen
Yusuf AliTurn ye back to your father, and say, 'O our father! behold! thy son committed theft! we bear witness only to what we know, and we could not well guard against the unseen
«ارجعوا إلى أبيكم فقولوا يا أبانا إن ابنك سرق وما شهدنا» عليه «إلا بما علمنا» تيقنَّا من مشاهدة الصاع في رحله «وما كنا للغيب» لما غاب عنا حين إعطاء الموثق «حافظين» ولو علمنا أنه يسرق لم نأخذه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd ask the city in which we were and the caravan in which we came - and indeed, we are truthful
Yusuf AliAsk at the town where we have been and the caravan in which we returned, and (you will find) we are indeed telling the truth
«واسأل القرية التي كنا فيها» هي مصر أي أرسل إلى أهلها فاسألهم «والعير» أصحاب العير «التي أقبلنا فيها» وهم قوم من كنعان «وإنا لصادقون» في قولنا فرجعوا إليه وقالوا له ذلك.
Saheeh International[Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. Perhaps Allah will bring them to me all together. Indeed it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise
Yusuf AliJacob said: "Nay, but ye have yourselves contrived a story (good enough) for you. So patience is most fitting (for me). Maybe God will bring them (back) all to me (in the end). For He is indeed full of knowledge and wisdom
«قال بل سولت» زينت «لكم أنفسكم أمرا» ففعلتموه اتهمهم لما سبق منهم من أمر يوسف «فصبر جميل» صبري «عسى الله أن يأتيني بهم» بيوسف وأخويه «جميعا إنه هو العليم» بحالي «الحكيم» في صنعه.
Saheeh InternationalAnd he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor
Yusuf AliAnd he turned away from them, and said: "How great is my grief for Joseph!" And his eyes became white with sorrow, and he fell into silent melancholy
«وتولى عنهم» تاركا خطابهم «وقال يا أسفى» الألف بدل من ياء الإضافة أي يا حزني «على يوسف وابيضت عيناه» انمحق سوادهما وبدل بياضا من بكائه «من الحزن» عليه «فهو كظيم» مغموم مكروب لا يظهر كربه.

Saheeh InternationalO my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people

«يا بني اذهبوا فتحسسوا من يوسف وأخيه» اطلبوا خبرهما «ولا تيأسوا» تقنطوا «من روح الله» رحمته «إنه لا ييأس من روح الله إلا القوم الكافرون» فانطلقوا نحو مصر ليوسف.
Saheeh InternationalSo when they entered upon Joseph, they said, "O 'Azeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come with goods poor in quality, but give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allah rewards the charitable
Yusuf AliThen, when they came (back) into (Joseph's) presence they said: "O exalted one! distress has seized us and our family: we have (now) brought but scanty capital: so pay us full measure, (we pray thee), and treat it as charity to us: for God doth reward the charitable
«فلما دخلوا عليه قالوا يا أيها العزيز مسنا وأهلنا الضر» الجوع «وجئنا ببضاعة مزجاة» مدفوعة يدفعها كل من رآها لرداءتها وكانت دراهم زيوفا أو غيرها «فأوف» أتم «لنا الكيل وتصدق علينا» بالمسامحة عن رداءة بضاعتنا «إن الله يجزي المتصدقين» يثيبهم فَرَقَّ لهم وأدركته الرحمة ورفع الحجاب بينه وبينهم.
