قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ تَفۡتَؤُاْ تَذۡكُرُ يُوسُفَ حَتَّىٰ تَكُونَ حَرَضًا أَوۡ تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلۡهَٰلِكِينَ 85

85        They said: “By Allah! You will never stop remembering Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  until you become extremely ill or until you die.”

قَالَ إِنَّمَآ أَشۡكُواْ بَثِّي وَحُزۡنِيٓ إِلَى ٱللَّهِ وَأَعۡلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 86

86        Yaqub ( peace be upon him )  said: “I am only complaining to Allah for my misery and grief. (I am not saying anything to you). And I know from Allah what you know not (i.e. how kind Allah is and the dream of Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  is not yet fulfilled).

يَٰبَنِيَّ ٱذۡهَبُواْ فَتَحَسَّسُواْ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَاْيۡ‍َٔسُواْ مِن رَّوۡحِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَاْيۡ‍َٔسُ مِن رَّوۡحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ 87

87        (Allah brings about everything. However, Allah helps those who help themselves. Hence, make another journey) “O my sons! Go and look for Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  and his brother, and don’t give up hope of Allah’s Mercy. Indeed, no one despairs of Allah’s Mercy except the disbelieving people.” (Also Surah Al-Hijr:156)

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهۡلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئۡنَا بِبِضَٰعَةٖ مُّزۡجَىٰةٖ فَأَوۡفِ لَنَا ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَتَصَدَّقۡ عَلَيۡنَآۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقِينَ 88

88        So when they (brethren) reached Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  they said: “O ruler of the land! A misfortune has struck us and our family, and we have brought very little money. Please grant us full measure and bestow charity on us since Allah rewards those who are charitable.”

قَالَ هَلۡ عَلِمۡتُم مَّا فَعَلۡتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذۡ أَنتُمۡ جَٰهِلُونَ 89

89        Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  said: “Do you remember what you did to Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  and his brother when you were ignorant?”

قَالُوٓاْ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَآ أَخِيۖ قَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ 90

90        They said: “Are you really Yusuf ( peace be upon him ) ?” He said: “I am Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  and this is my brother. Allah has been very gracious to us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and has patience (in adversity), then Allah does not let the reward of the good-doers to be lost.”

قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدۡ ءَاثَرَكَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَٰطِ‍ِٔينَ 91

91        They said: “By Allah! Allah has indeed, honoured you above us (which you deserved) and we certainly have been the sinners.”

قَالَ لَا تَثۡرِيبَ عَلَيۡكُمُ ٱلۡيَوۡمَۖ يَغۡفِرُ ٱللَّهُ لَكُمۡۖ وَهُوَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ 92

92        Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  said: “No blame is on you (from me) today. May Allah forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.

ٱذۡهَبُواْ بِقَمِيصِي هَٰذَا فَأَلۡقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِ أَبِي يَأۡتِ بَصِيرٗا وَأۡتُونِي بِأَهۡلِكُمۡ أَجۡمَعِينَ 93

93        “Go with my shirt and put it on the face of my father, he will regain his eyesight and bring all your family here.” 

وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلۡعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمۡ إِنِّي لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَۖ لَوۡلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ 94

94        And when the caravan departed (from Egypt) their father said: “If you don’t consider me a demented person (i.e. behaving crazy due to old age, I would like to tell you that) I do feel the smell of Yusuf ( peace be upon him ) .”

قَالُواْ تَٱللَّهِ إِنَّكَ لَفِي ضَلَٰلِكَ ٱلۡقَدِيمِ 95

95        They (people around him) said: “By Allah! Indeed, you are in your old confusion.”

فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلۡبَشِيرُ أَلۡقَىٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجۡهِهِۦ فَٱرۡتَدَّ بَصِيرٗاۖ قَالَ أَلَمۡ أَقُل لَّكُمۡ إِنِّيٓ أَعۡلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعۡلَمُونَ 96

96        When the bearer of the glad tidings arrived, he put the shirt on his face, and Yaqub ( peace be upon him )  regained his eyesight. Yaqub ( peace be upon him )  said: “Did I not say to you, ‘I know from Allah that which you know not’.”

قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَا ٱسۡتَغۡفِرۡ لَنَا ذُنُوبَنَآ إِنَّا كُنَّا خَٰطِ‍ِٔينَ 97

97        They said: “O our father! Pray for us (to Allah) for forgiveness of our sins. Indeed, we have been sinners.”

قَالَ سَوۡفَ أَسۡتَغۡفِرُ لَكُمۡ رَبِّيٓۖ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡغَفُورُ ٱلرَّحِيمُ 98

98        He said: “(Well,) I will soon pray to my Creator for your forgiveness. Indeed, He! Only He is the Very Forgiving, the Most Merciful.”

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَبَوَيۡهِ وَقَالَ ٱدۡخُلُواْ مِصۡرَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ 99

99        [Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  went out of Egypt to receive his family]. When all the family met Yusuf ( peace be upon him ) , he made his parents sit with him. [Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  invited them to move to Egypt] Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  said: “Welcome to Egypt. If Allah wills, live there in security (without fear of separation or famine).”

وَرَفَعَ أَبَوَيۡهِ عَلَى ٱلۡعَرۡشِ وَخَرُّواْ لَهُۥ سُجَّدٗاۖ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَبَتِ هَٰذَا تَأۡوِيلُ رُءۡيَٰيَ مِن قَبۡلُ قَدۡ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّي حَقّٗاۖ وَقَدۡ أَحۡسَنَ بِيٓ إِذۡ أَخۡرَجَنِي مِنَ ٱلسِّجۡنِ وَجَآءَ بِكُم مِّنَ ٱلۡبَدۡوِ مِنۢ بَعۡدِ أَن نَّزَغَ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنُ بَيۡنِي وَبَيۡنَ إِخۡوَتِيٓۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَطِيفٞ لِّمَا يَشَآءُۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ 100

100        (Finally all the family reached Egypt). And Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  honoured his parents on the throne. [At that time the nobility of Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  touched everybody’s hearts] and they fell down prostrate before him. And Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  said: “O my father! This is the interpretation of my earlier dream. My Creator has made it come true. And He did me a great favour when He brought me out of the prison (and gave me a high position in this land), and He brought you all here from the bedouin-life after Satan had created the misunderstanding between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Creator makes a very subtle plan for what He wills. He is the All Knowing, the All-Wise.

۞رَبِّ قَدۡ ءَاتَيۡتَنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمُلۡكِ وَعَلَّمۡتَنِي مِن تَأۡوِيلِ ٱلۡأَحَادِيثِۚ فَاطِرَ ٱلسَّمَٰوَٰتِ وَٱلۡأَرۡضِ أَنتَ وَلِيِّۦ فِي ٱلدُّنۡيَا وَٱلۡأٓخِرَةِۖ تَوَفَّنِي مُسۡلِمٗا وَأَلۡحِقۡنِي بِٱلصَّٰلِحِينَ 101

101        “My Creator! You have, indeed, granted me the sovereignty (of the land) and taught me the interpretation of events. O Creator of the heavens and earth! You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Please make me die as a Muslim and join me with the righteous people.”

ذَٰلِكَ مِنۡ أَنۢبَآءِ ٱلۡغَيۡبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيۡكَۖ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيۡهِمۡ إِذۡ أَجۡمَعُوٓاْ أَمۡرَهُمۡ وَهُمۡ يَمۡكُرُونَ 102

102        This is the news from the Unseen which We reveal to you [Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)]. You were not present there when they firmed up their plan (to throw Yusuf ( peace be upon him )  in the well) and while they were plotting [against Yusuf ( peace be upon him ) ].

وَمَآ أَكۡثَرُ ٱلنَّاسِ وَلَوۡ حَرَصۡتَ بِمُؤۡمِنِينَ 103

103        (In spite of the above proofs of your Prophethood) most of the people will not believe even if you desire it very strongly.

وَمَا تَسۡ‍َٔلُهُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ مِنۡ أَجۡرٍۚ إِنۡ هُوَ إِلَّا ذِكۡرٞ لِّلۡعَٰلَمِينَ 104

104        [O Muhammad (may Allah’s peace and blessings be upon him)!] You are not asking them any (financial) reward for it. Indeed, this Quran is a Reminder for the mankind and jinn.
