بِسْمِ ٱللَّهِ ٱلرَّحْمَـٰنِ ٱلرَّحِيمِ

۞ لَّقَدۡ

فِي

وَإِخۡوَتِهِۦٓ
ءَايَٰتٞ
لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ
٧
There are lessons in the story of Joseph and his brothers for all who seek them.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

إِذۡ
قَالُواْ
لَيُوسُفُ
وَأَخُوهُ
أَحَبُّ
إِلَىٰٓ
أَبِينَا
مِنَّا
وَنَحۡنُ
عُصۡبَةٌ
إِنَّ
أَبَانَا
لَفِي
ضَلَٰلٖ
مُّبِينٍ
٨
The brothers said [to each other], ‘Although we are many, Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are–– our father is clearly in the wrong.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

ٱقۡتُلُواْ
يُوسُفَ
أَوِ
ٱطۡرَحُوهُ
أَرۡضٗا
يَخۡلُ
لَكُمۡ
وَجۡهُ
أَبِيكُمۡ
وَتَكُونُواْ
مِنۢ
بَعۡدِهِۦ
قَوۡمٗا
صَٰلِحِينَ
٩
[One of them said], ‘Kill Joseph or banish him to another land, and your father’s attention will be free to turn to you. After that you can be righteous.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قَالَ
قَآئِلٞ
مِّنۡهُمۡ
لَا
تَقۡتُلُواْ
يُوسُفَ
وَأَلۡقُوهُ
فِي
غَيَٰبَتِ
ٱلۡجُبِّ
يَلۡتَقِطۡهُ
بَعۡضُ
ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ
إِن
كُنتُمۡ
فَٰعِلِينَ
١٠
[Another of them] said, ‘Do not kill Joseph, but, if you must, throw him into the hidden depths of a well where some caravan may pick him up.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قَالُواْ
يَٰٓأَبَانَا
مَا
لَكَ
لَا
تَأۡمَ۬نَّا
عَلَىٰ
يُوسُفَ
وَإِنَّا
لَهُۥ
لَنَٰصِحُونَ
١١
They said to their father, ‘Why do you not trust us with Joseph? We wish him well.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

أَرۡسِلۡهُ
مَعَنَا
غَدٗا
يَرۡتَعۡ
وَيَلۡعَبۡ
وَإِنَّا
لَهُۥ
لَحَٰفِظُونَ
١٢
Send him with us tomorrow and he will enjoy himself and play- we will take good care of him.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قَالَ
إِنِّي
لَيَحۡزُنُنِيٓ
أَن
تَذۡهَبُواْ
بِهِۦ
وَأَخَافُ
أَن
يَأۡكُلَهُ
ٱلذِّئۡبُ
وَأَنتُمۡ
عَنۡهُ
غَٰفِلُونَ
١٣
He replied, ‘The thought of you taking him away with you worries me: I am afraid a wolf may eat him when you are not paying attention.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قَالُواْ
لَئِنۡ
أَكَلَهُ
ٱلذِّئۡبُ
وَنَحۡنُ
عُصۡبَةٌ
إِنَّآ
إِذٗا
لَّخَٰسِرُونَ
١٤
They said, ‘If a wolf were to eat him when there are so many of us, we would truly be losers!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

فَلَمَّا
ذَهَبُواْ
بِهِۦ
وَأَجۡمَعُوٓاْ
أَن
يَجۡعَلُوهُ
فِي
غَيَٰبَتِ
ٱلۡجُبِّۚ
وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ
إِلَيۡهِ
لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم
بِأَمۡرِهِمۡ
هَٰذَا
وَهُمۡ
لَا
يَشۡعُرُونَ
١٥
Then they took him away with them, resolved upon throwing him into the hidden depths of a well- We inspired him, saying, ‘You will tell them of all this [at a time] when they do not realize [who you are]!’-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

وَجَآءُوٓ
أَبَاهُمۡ
عِشَآءٗ
يَبۡكُونَ
١٦
and at nightfall they returned to their father weeping.

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

قَالُواْ
يَٰٓأَبَانَآ
إِنَّا
ذَهَبۡنَا
نَسۡتَبِقُ
وَتَرَكۡنَا
يُوسُفَ
عِندَ
مَتَٰعِنَا
فَأَكَلَهُ
ٱلذِّئۡبُۖ
وَمَآ
أَنتَ
بِمُؤۡمِنٖ
لَّنَا
وَلَوۡ
كُنَّا
صَٰدِقِينَ
١٧
They said, ‘We went off racing one another, leaving Joseph behind with our things, and a wolf ate him. You will not believe us, though we are telling the truth!’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

وَجَآءُو
عَلَىٰ
قَمِيصِهِۦ
بِدَمٖ
كَذِبٖۚ
قَالَ
بَلۡ
سَوَّلَتۡ
لَكُمۡ
أَنفُسُكُمۡ
أَمۡرٗاۖ
فَصَبۡرٞ
جَمِيلٞۖ
وَٱللَّهُ
ٱلۡمُسۡتَعَانُ
عَلَىٰ
مَا
تَصِفُونَ
١٨
and they showed him his shirt, deceptively stained with blood. He cried, ‘No! Your souls have prompted you to do wrong! But it is best to be patient: from God alone I seek help to bear what you are saying.’

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

وَجَآءَتۡ
سَيَّارَةٞ
فَأَرۡسَلُواْ
وَارِدَهُمۡ
فَأَدۡلَىٰ
دَلۡوَهُۥۖ
قَالَ
يَٰبُشۡرَىٰ
هَٰذَا
غُلَٰمٞۚ
وَأَسَرُّوهُ
بِضَٰعَةٗۚ
وَٱللَّهُ
عَلِيمُۢ
بِمَا
يَعۡمَلُونَ
١٩
Some travellers came by. They sent someone to draw water and he let down his bucket. ‘Good news!’ he exclaimed. ‘Here is a boy!’ They hid him like a piece of merchandise- God was well aware of what they did-

M.A.S. Abdel Haleem

وَشَرَوۡهُ
بِثَمَنِۭ
بَخۡسٖ
دَرَٰهِمَ
مَعۡدُودَةٖ
وَكَانُواْ
فِيهِ
مِنَ
ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ
٢٠
and then sold him for a small price, for a few pieces of silver: so little did they value him.
