وَجَاۗءَ اِخْوَۃُ يُوْسُفَ فَدَخَلُوْا عَلَيْہِ فَعَرَفَہُمْ وَہُمْ لَہٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ۝۵۸
Wajaa ikhwatu yoosufa fadakhaloo AAalayhi faAAarafahum wahum lahu munkiroona

English

Ahmed Ali

The brothers of Joseph came (to Egypt) and visited him. He recognised them, though they did not recognise him.

58

وَلَمَّا جَہَّزَہُمْ بِجَہَازِہِمْ قَالَ ائْتُوْنِيْ بِاَخٍ لَّكُمْ مِّنْ اَبِيْكُمْ۝۰ۚ اَلَا تَرَوْنَ اَنِّىْۗ اُوْفِي الْكَيْلَ وَاَنَا خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِيْنَ۝۵۹
Walamma jahhazahum bijahazihim qala itoonee biakhin lakum min abeekum ala tarawna annee oofee alkayla waana khayru almunzileena

English

Ahmed Ali

When he had supplied their provisions, he said to them: "Bring your (half) brother with you. Have you not seen that I have given full measure, and that I am the best of hosts?

59

فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَاْتُوْنِيْ بِہٖ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِنْدِيْ وَلَا تَقْرَبُوْنِ۝۶۰
Fain lam tatoonee bihi fala kayla lakum AAindee wala taqrabooni

English

Ahmed Ali

But if you do not bring him with you, then I shall have no grain for you, nor should you come back to me."

60

قَالُوْا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْہُ اَبَاہُ وَاِنَّا لَفٰعِلُوْنَ۝۶۱
Qaloo sanurawidu AAanhu abahu wainna lafaAAiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

They said: "We shall request his father, and will certainly do that."

61

وَقَالَ لِفِتْيٰنِہِ اجْعَلُوْا بِضَاعَتَہُمْ فِيْ رِحَالِہِمْ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَعْرِفُوْنَہَاۗ اِذَا انْقَلَبُوْۗا اِلٰۗى اَہْلِہِمْ لَعَلَّہُمْ يَرْجِعُوْنَ۝۶۲
Waqala lifityanihi ijAAaloo bidaAAatahum fee rihalihim laAAallahum yaAArifoonaha itha inqalaboo ila ahlihim laAAallahum yarjiAAoona

English

Ahmed Ali

Then he ordered his servants: "Put their money back in their packs: They may find it on reaching home, and perhaps come again."

62

فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوْۗا اِلٰۗى اَبِيْہِمْ قَالُوْا يٰۗاَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَيْلُ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَاۗ اَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَاِنَّا لَہٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ۝۶۳
Falamma rajaAAoo ila abeehim qaloo ya abana muniAAa minna alkaylu faarsil maAAana akhana naktal wainna lahu lahafithoona

English

Ahmed Ali

When they returned to their father, they said: "O father, a further measure has been denied us. So send our brother with us that he may bring more grain. We shall take care of him."

63

قَالَ ہَلْ اٰمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْہِ اِلَّا كَـمَاۗ اَمِنْتُكُمْ عَلٰۗي اَخِيْہِ مِنْ قَبْلُ۝۰ۭ فَاللہُ خَيْرٌ حٰفِظًا۝۰۠ وَّہُوَاَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ۝۶۴
Qala hal amanukum AAalayhi illa kama amintukum AAala akheehi min qablu faAllahu khayrun hafithan wahuwa arhamu alrrahimeena

English

Ahmed Ali

He replied: "Should I trust you with him as I did his brother? But God is the best of guardians, and most merciful of all."

64

وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوْا مَتَاعَہُمْ وَجَدُوْا بِضَاعَتَہُمْ رُدَّتْ اِلَيْہِمْ۝۰ۭ قَالُوْا يٰۗاَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِيْ۝۰ۭ ہٰذِہٖ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ اِلَيْنَا۝۰ۚ وَنَمِيْرُ اَہْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ اَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيْرٍ۝۰ۭ ذٰلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَّسِيْرٌ۝۶۵
Walamma fatahoo mataAAahum wajadoo bidaAAatahum ruddat ilayhim qaloo ya abana ma nabghee hathihi bidaAAatuna ruddat ilayna wanameeru ahlana wanahfathu akhana wanazdadu kayla baAAeerin thalika kaylun yaseerun

English

Ahmed Ali

When they unpacked their goods they said: "O father, what more can we ask? Look, even our money has been returned. We shall go and bring a camel-load more of grain for our family, and take good care of our brother. That will be an easy measure."

65

قَالَ لَنْ اُرْسِلَہٗ مَعَكُمْ حَتّٰى تُؤْتُوْنِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللہِ لَتَاْتُنَّنِيْ بِہٖۗ اِلَّاۗ اَنْ يُّحَاطَ بِكُمْ۝۰ۚ فَلَمَّاۗ اٰتَوْہُ مَوْثِقَہُمْ قَالَ اللہُ عَلٰي مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِيْلٌ۝۶۶
Qala lan orsilahu maAAakum hatta tutooni mawthiqan mina Allahi latatunnanee bihi illa an yuhata bikum falamma atawhu mawthiqahum qala Allahu AAala ma naqoolu wakeelun

English

Ahmed Ali

He said: "I will never send him with you until you swear by God that you will bring him back to me, unless all of you are overtaken (by misfortune)." When they had given their promise, he said: "God is witness to our conversation."

66

وَقَالَ يٰبَنِيَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوْا مِنْۢ بَابٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَّادْخُلُوْا مِنْ اَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَۃٍ۝۰ۭ وَمَاۗ اُغْنِيْ عَنْكُمْ مِّنَ اللہِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ۝۰ۭ اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلہِ۝۰ۭ عَلَيْہِ تَوَكَّلْتُ۝۰ۚ وَعَلَيْہِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ۝۶۷
Waqala ya baniyya la tadkhuloo min babin wahidin waodkhuloo min abwabin mutafarriqatin wama oghnee AAankum mina Allahi min shayin ini alhukmu illa lillahi AAalayhi tawakkaltu waAAalayhi falyatawakkali almutawakkiloona

English

Ahmed Ali

(As they were leaving) their father said to them: "O my sons, do not seek one approach but employ different ways (of attaining your object). If anything should befall you from God I shall not be able to avert it, for all authority belongs to God. I have placed my trust in Him, and the trusting should rely on Him alone."
