In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
Conclusion from Al-Tabari’s interpretation
It was summarized by Dr. Aqeel bin Salem Al-Shammari
Surat Yusuf
In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
They said that if he steals, his brother had stolen before
Joseph kept it hidden within himself and did not reveal it to them
He said, “You are in a bad place.”
God knows best what you are describing
They said that if he steals, his brother had stolen before
They mean Joseph
Joseph concealed it within himself and did not reveal it to them
He said, “You are evil in the sight of God due to your previous actions.”
And God knows best what you are lying about in what you describe his brother Bin Yamin
They said, O dear, he has an old father
An old man, so one of us took his place
We see you as one of the doers of good
Joseph's brothers said
O king, he has an old father who has been charged with loving him
So take one of us instead of Bin Yamin and take it off
We see you as one of the doers of good in your actions
He said, “God forbid that we take anything except the one with whom we find our belongings.”
Except the one in whom we found our goods. Indeed, we would be wrongdoers
Joseph said to his brothers
I seek refuge in God from taking an innocent person other than the one with whom we found our possessions
Then we do what we have no right to do and we treat people unfairly
When they sought help from him, they were saved
The eldest of them said, “Did you not know that your father has taken a bond over you?”
A covenant has been imposed on you from God and before what you responded to Joseph
I will not leave the earth until my father permits me or God decides for me
He is the best of rulers
When they despaired of him and saw his severity in his affairs
They said to each other
What do you see?
Their elder said
Did you not know, O people, that your father was Jacob?
He has taken upon you God's covenants and covenants
We will bring him all of it unless he is surrounded by you
And before you did this, you neglected Joseph
I will not leave the land where I am
Until my father allowed me to leave it
Or my Lord will decree for me to get out of it
Otherwise I'm not out
God is better than judge
And the most just is the separation between people
Go back to your father and say, Father, your son stole
We only witnessed what we knew
We were not guardians of the unseen
And ask the village we were in
And the caravan we entered
And we are truthful
Return my brothers to your father Jacob and tell him
Father, your son Bin Yamin stole
We did not witness that your son stole
Except for what we know from our vision of the coins in his bowl
We did not see that your son was stealing
Our matter becomes this
And ask if you are our accuser
The people of the village we were in, which is Egypt
And the convoy in which we arrived
And we are truthful in what we told you about
He said, “Rather, I asked yourselves to do something, so patience was beautiful.”
May God bring them all to me
He is the All-Knowing, the Wise
Jacob said
Rather, I made your souls beautiful for you in a matter that you were interested in and desired
My patience with what happened to me due to the loss of my son is beautiful
No worries or complaints
May God bring me all my children and return them to me
He is the One who knows my loneliness
And my loss and sadness for them
He is wise in managing his creation
He pardoned Yusuf, and his eyes turned white with sadness, for he was depressed
Jacob turned away from them and said, “How sad for Joseph!”
Jacob's eyes turned white with sadness
He is overwhelmed with sadness
Full of it, it doesn't show it
They said, “By God, you will continue to remember Joseph until you either die or die.”
Yacoub's son said
By God, you still remember Joseph
Until the cachexia of the body is demented by the mind
Or be among those who perished by death
He said, “I only complain of my grief and sadness to God, and I know from God what you do not know.”
Jacob said
I do not complain to you about my grief and sorrow
I only complain about my news, my speech, and my sadness to God
I know that Joseph's vision is true
And I will prostrate to him
My sons, go and be sensitive to Joseph and his brother and do not despair of the Spirit of God
Only the disbelieving people despair of the Spirit of God
My son
Go to the place from which you came
So they sought out Joseph and learned from him and his brother Bin Yamin
Do not despair that God will relieve us of what we are in
Out of sadness for Joseph and his brother, with relief on his part
He does not despair of His relief and mercy
Except for the people who deny His ability to create whatever He willed
We and our people suffered hardship and brought mixed goods
So we gave the full measure and gave alms to us
God rewards those who give charity
When they entered upon him
They said, O dear one, our family and I are suffering from hardship and drought
You reward us with a few inexpensive goods
So give us full measure and give us with it what you used to give us before
With a good price and dirhams, a generous reward that cannot be returned
And be kind to us
God rewards those who give their money to those in need
He said, “Do you know what you did to Joseph and his brother?”
Because you are ignorant
Joseph told them
Do you remember what you did to Joseph and his brother?
You separated them
And you did what you did
Because you are ignorant of the consequences of what you are doing to Joseph
And what will happen to him and yours?
They said, “You are not Joseph.”
He said: I am Youssef, and this is my brother
God has favored us
He is the one who is pious and patient
God does not waste the reward of the doers of good
Joseph's brothers said
Indeed, you are Joseph
He said: Yes, I am Joseph
And this is my brother
God has favored us
By bringing us together after you separated us
He is the one who fears God
He monitors him by performing his duties
He punished me with his transgressions
He refrains himself from doing what God has forbidden to him
God does not nullify the reward of His benevolence
And the reward for his obedience to Him in what He commanded and prohibited
They said, “By God, God has preferred you over us.”
God has chosen you over us
Even if we are wrong
Joseph's brothers said to him
By God, God has favored us
And he influenced you with knowledge, dream, and grace
We would not have done what we did to you
In our distinction between you and your father and your brother, you are only mistaken
He said, “There will be no rebuke against you today.”
May God forgive you
He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy
Joseph told the brothers
Don't reproach you
There is no distortion of the sanctity and right of brotherhood between me and you
May God forgive you for your sins and injustices, and He will cover them for you
God is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy to whoever repents from his sin and returns to obeying Him
Go with this shirt of mine
So cast the force on my father’s face and he will come to see
Bring all your families to me
It was mentioned that Joseph, may God bless him and grant him peace, asked them about their father
They said his sight was gone from sadness
He said to them
Go with this shirt of mine and throw it on the face of my father, he will be seen
And bring me all your family
When I separated the caravan, their father said, “I smell the scent of Joseph.”
Unless you refute it
When she separated from the children of Jacob, she headed towards Jacob
Their father Yacoub said
I feel the scent of Joseph
If you had not abused me and incapacitated me
And you blame me and lie to me
They said, “By God, you are in your old error.”
They said, “By God, man.”
You are the love of Joseph
Cover your mistakes and your old mistakes, do not forget them and do not give up on them
When Al-Bashir came, he threw him on his face
He threw it on his face and he regained his sight
He said, Did I not tell you that I know from God what you do not know?
When Jacob the good tidings came from his son Joseph
Al-Bashir threw Yusuf's shirt in Ya'qub's face
He returned to seeing with his own eyes
Jacob said
Didn't I tell you, son?
I know from God that He will answer Joseph
And he brings me together
And you did not know what I knew
They said, O Aban, ask forgiveness for our sins for us, for we have been sinners
He said, “I will ask my Lord for forgiveness for you.”
He is the Forgiving, the Merciful
Yacoub's son said
O our father, we asked your Lord to pardon us
He covers us from our sins
He will not punish us with it in the resurrection
We were wrong in what we did to him
We have confessed our sins
Jacob said
I will ask my Lord to pardon you for the sins that you committed against me and Joseph
My Lord is the one who covers the sins of those who repent
The Most Merciful to them is to punish them after they repent from it
When they entered upon Joseph, his parents took him to him
He said, “They will enter Egypt, God willing, safely.”
He raised his parents to the throne and bowed down to him in prostration
He said, “My father, this is the interpretation of my previous vision.”
My Lord has made it true
He did me a favor by letting me out of prison
He brought you Bedouins
After the devil came between me and my brothers
Indeed, my Lord is kind to what He wills. Indeed, He is the All-Knowing, the All-Wise
When Jacob, his son, and their family entered, they visited Joseph
He included his parents
He told them to enter Egypt, God willing
We are safe from the barrenness and drought that you were experiencing in your countryside
He lifted his parents onto the bed
Jacob, his son, and his mother bowed down before Joseph, prostrating themselves
This was the greeting of kings at that time
Joseph said to his father
Oh my father, this is the prostration that you, my mother, and my brothers prostrated to me
Interpretation of the outcome of the vision that you saw
My Lord has fulfilled it because its interpretation is correct
God was good to me in getting me out of prison
And when he came to you from the Bedouins
After Satan spoiled what was between me and them
Indeed, my Lord is kind and does what He wills
Indeed, He is the One who knows the interests of His creation and other things
Wise in his management
