Surah Al Yusuf With English Translations

الٓرٰ- تِلْكَ اٰیٰتُ الْكِتٰبِ الْمُبِیْنِﭦ(1)

Alif, Lam, Ra. These are the verses of the clear Book. (1)

اِنَّاۤ اَنْزَلْنٰهُ قُرْءٰنًا عَرَبِیًّا لَّعَلَّكُمْ تَعْقِلُوْنَ(2)

Indeed, We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an that you might understand. (2)

نَحْنُ نَقُصُّ عَلَیْكَ اَحْسَنَ الْقَصَصِ بِمَاۤ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْكَ هٰذَا الْقُرْاٰنَ ﳓ وَ اِنْ كُنْتَ مِنْ قَبْلِهٖ لَمِنَ الْغٰفِلِیْنَ(3)

We 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. (3)

اِذْ قَالَ یُوْسُفُ لِاَبِیْهِ یٰۤاَبَتِ اِنِّیْ رَاَیْتُ اَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَّ الشَّمْسَ وَ الْقَمَرَ رَاَیْتُهُمْ لِیْ سٰجِدِیْنَ(4)

[Remember] 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 bowing down to me." (4)

قَالَ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْیَاكَ عَلٰۤى اِخْوَتِكَ فَیَكِیْدُوْا لَكَ كَیْدًاؕ-اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ(5)

He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers lest they devise a plan against you. Indeed, Satan is to man a clear enemy. (5)

وَ كَذٰلِكَ یَجْتَبِیْكَ رَبُّكَ وَ یُعَلِّمُكَ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِ وَ یُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهٗ عَلَیْكَ وَ عَلٰۤى اٰلِ یَعْقُوْبَ كَمَاۤ اَتَمَّهَا عَلٰۤى اَبَوَیْكَ مِنْ قَبْلُ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ اِسْحٰقَؕ-اِنَّ رَبَّكَ عَلِیْمٌ حَكِیْمٌ(6)

And thus will your Lord choose you and teach you the interpretation of dreams 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." (6)

لَقَدْ كَانَ فِیْ یُوْسُفَ وَ اِخْوَتِهٖۤ اٰیٰتٌ لِّلسَّآىٕلِیْنَ(7)

There were certainly in Joseph and his brothers signs for those who ask, (7)

اِذْ قَالُوْا لَیُوْسُفُ وَ اَخُوْهُ اَحَبُّ اِلٰۤى اَبِیْنَا مِنَّا وَ نَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌؕ-اِنَّ اَبَانَا لَفِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنِ ﹰ(8)

When they said, "Joseph and his brother are more beloved to our father than we, while we are a strong group. Indeed, our father is in clear error. (8)

اقْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ اَوِ اطْرَحُوْهُ اَرْضًا یَّخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ اَبِیْكُمْ وَ تَكُوْنُوْا مِنْۢ بَعْدِهٖ قَوْمًا صٰلِحِیْنَ(9)

Kill Joseph or cast him out to [another] land; the face of your father will [then] be free to you, and you will be after that a righteous people." (9)

قَالَ قَآىٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ وَ اَلْقُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّ یَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّیَّارَةِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِیْنَ(10)

Said 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]." (10)

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَاْمَنَّا عَلٰى یُوْسُفَ وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ لَنٰصِحُوْنَ(11)

They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors? (11)

اَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا یَّرْتَعْ وَ یَلْعَبْ وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ(12)

Send him with us tomorrow that he may graze and play, and indeed, we will be his guardians." (12)

قَالَ اِنِّیْ لَیَحْزُنُنِیْۤ اَنْ تَذْهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَ اَخَافُ اَنْ یَّاْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَ اَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ غٰفِلُوْنَ(13)

He said, "Indeed, it grieves me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf will eat him while you are of him heedless." (13)

قَالُوْا لَىٕنْ اَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَ نَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ اِنَّاۤ اِذًا لَّخٰسِرُوْنَ(14)

They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a strong group, indeed, we would then be losers." (14)

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَ اَجْمَعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّجْعَلُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّۚ-وَ اَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمْ بِاَمْرِهِمْ هٰذَا وَ هُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ(15)

So when they took him [away] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them of this deed of theirs while they do not perceive [who you are]." (15)

وَ جَآءُوْۤ اَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءً یَّبْكُوْنَﭤ(16)

And they came to their father at night, weeping. (16)

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَاۤ اِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَ تَرَكْنَا یُوْسُفَ عِنْدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَاَكَلَهُ الذِّئْبُۚ-وَ مَاۤ اَنْتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَ لَوْ كُنَّا صٰدِقِیْنَ(17)

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph by our belongings, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful." (17)

وَ جَآءُوْ عَلٰى قَمِیْصِهٖ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍؕ-قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ اَنْفُسُكُمْ اَمْرًاؕ-فَصَبْرٌ جَمِیْلٌؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلٰى مَا تَصِفُوْنَ(18)

And they brought his shirt with false blood on it. He said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one whose help is sought against that which you describe." (18)

وَ جَآءَتْ سَیَّارَةٌ فَاَرْسَلُوْا وَارِدَهُمْ فَاَدْلٰى دَلْوَهٗؕ-قَالَ یٰبُشْرٰى هٰذَا غُلٰمٌؕ-وَ اَسَرُّوْهُ بِضَاعَةًؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ عَلِیْمٌۢ بِمَا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(19)

And there came a caravan, and they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "O good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [intending him as] merchandise. And Allah was knowing of what they did. (19)

وَ شَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍ دَرَاهِمَ مَعْدُوْدَةٍۚ-وَ كَانُوْا فِیْهِ مِنَ الزَّاهِدِیْنَ(20)

And they sold him for a reduced price - a few silver coins. And they were of him uninterested. (20)

وَ قَالَ الَّذِی اشْتَرٰىهُ مِنْ مِّصْرَ لِامْرَاَتِهٖۤ اَكْرِمِیْ مَثْوٰىهُ عَسٰۤى اَنْ یَّنْفَعَنَاۤ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًاؕ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِیُوْسُفَ فِی الْاَرْضِ٘-وَ لِنُعَلِّمَهٗ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ غَالِبٌ عَلٰۤى اَمْرِهٖ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(21)

And the one who bought him from Egypt 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. (21)

وَ لَمَّا بَلَغَ اَشُدَّهٗۤ اٰتَیْنٰهُ حُكْمًا وَّ عِلْمًاؕ-وَ كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(22)

And when he reached his full maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge. And thus do We reward the doers of good. (22)

وَ رَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتِیْ هُوَ فِیْ بَیْتِهَا عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَ غَلَّقَتِ الْاَبْوَابَ وَ قَالَتْ هَیْتَ لَكَؕ-قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّهٗ رَبِّیْۤ اَحْسَنَ مَثْوَایَؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظّٰلِمُوْنَ(23)

And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. And she bolted the doors and said, "Come, you!" He said, "[I seek] refuge in Allah . Indeed, my master has treated me well. Indeed, the wrongdoers will not succeed." (23)

وَ لَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهٖۚ-وَ هَمَّ بِهَا لَوْ لَاۤ اَنْ رَّاٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهٖؕ-كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوْٓءَ وَ الْفَحْشَآءَؕ-اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ(24)

And she certainly resolved upon him, and he would have resolved upon her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. Thus [it was] that We might avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants. (24)

وَ اسْتَبَقَا الْبَابَ وَ قَدَّتْ قَمِیْصَهٗ مِنْ دُبُرٍ وَّ اَلْفَیَا سَیِّدَهَا لَدَا الْبَابِؕ-قَالَتْ مَا جَزَآءُ مَنْ اَرَادَ بِاَهْلِكَ سُوْٓءًا اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّسْجَنَ اَوْ عَذَابٌ اَلِیْمٌ(25)

And 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 family but that he should be imprisoned or [subjected to] a painful punishment?" (25)

قَالَ هِیَ رَاوَدَتْنِیْ عَنْ نَّفْسِیْ وَ شَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ اَهْلِهَاۚ-اِنْ كَانَ قَمِیْصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ قُبُلٍ فَصَدَقَتْ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الْكٰذِبِیْنَ(26)

He said, "It was she who sought to seduce me." And a witness from her family testified: "If his shirt was torn from the front, then she has told the truth, and he is of the liars. (26)

وَ اِنْ كَانَ قَمِیْصُهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَ هُوَ مِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(27)

But if his shirt was torn from the back, then she has lied, and he is of the truthful." (27)

فَلَمَّا رَاٰ قَمِیْصَهٗ قُدَّ مِنْ دُبُرٍ قَالَ اِنَّهٗ مِنْ كَیْدِكُنَّؕ-اِنَّ كَیْدَكُنَّ عَظِیْمٌ(28)

So when her husband saw his shirt torn from the back, he said, "Indeed, this is of the scheming of you women. Indeed, your scheming is great. (28)

یُوْسُفُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَاٚ-وَ اسْتَغْفِرِیْ لِذَنْۢبِكِ ۚۖ-اِنَّكِ كُنْتِ مِنَ الْخٰطِـٕیْنَ(29)

[He said to Joseph], "O Joseph, disregard this." And [to his wife], "Ask forgiveness for your sin. Indeed, you have been of the sinning ones." (29)

وَ قَالَ نِسْوَةٌ فِی الْمَدِیْنَةِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِیْزِ تُرَاوِدُ فَتٰىهَا عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖۚ-قَدْ شَغَفَهَا حُبًّاؕ-اِنَّا لَنَرٰىهَا فِیْ ضَلٰلٍ مُّبِیْنٍ(30)

And women in the city said, "The wife of al-'Aziz is seeking to seduce her slave boy. She has become desperately enamored with him, [and] indeed, we see her in clear error." (30)

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ اَرْسَلَتْ اِلَیْهِنَّ وَ اَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَاً وَّ اٰتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّیْنًا وَّ قَالَتِ اخْرُ جْ عَلَیْهِنَّۚ-فَلَمَّا رَاَیْنَهٗۤ اَكْبَرْنَهٗ وَ قَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّ وَ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًاؕ-اِنْ هٰذَاۤ اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِیْمٌ(31)

So 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 were amazed at him and cut their [own] hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a human being; this is none but a noble angel." (31)

قَالَتْ فَذٰلِكُنَّ الَّذِیْ لُمْتُنَّنِیْ فِیْهِؕ-وَ لَقَدْ رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ فَاسْتَعْصَمَؕ-وَ لَىٕنْ لَّمْ یَفْعَلْ مَاۤ اٰمُرُهٗ لَیُسْجَنَنَّ وَ لَیَكُوْنًا مِّنَ الصّٰغِرِیْنَ(32)

She said, "That is the one about whom you blamed me. And I certainly sought to seduce him, but he firmly refused; and if he does not do what I command him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be of the degraded." (32)

قَالَ رَبِّ السِّجْنُ اَحَبُّ اِلَیَّ مِمَّا یَدْعُوْنَنِیْۤ اِلَیْهِۚ-وَ اِلَّا تَصْرِفْ عَنِّیْ كَیْدَهُنَّ اَصْبُ اِلَیْهِنَّ وَ اَكُنْ مِّنَ الْجٰهِلِیْنَ(33)

He 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 will incline toward them and become of the ignorant." (33)

فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ فَصَرَفَ عَنْهُ كَیْدَهُنَّؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ السَّمِیْعُ الْعَلِیْمُ(34)

So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. (34)

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمْ مِّنْۢ بَعْدِ مَا رَاَوُا الْاٰیٰتِ لَیَسْجُنُنَّهٗ حَتّٰى حِیْنٍ(35)

Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that they should surely imprison him for a time. (35)

وَ دَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَیٰنِؕ-قَالَ اَحَدُهُمَاۤ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىنِیْۤ اَعْصِرُ خَمْرًاۚ-وَ قَالَ الْاٰخَرُ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰىنِیْۤ اَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَاْسِیْ خُبْزًا تَاْكُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْهُؕ-نَبِّئْنَا بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖۚ-اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(36)

And there entered the prison with him two young men. Said one of them, "Indeed, I have seen myself [in a dream] pressing wine." And the other said, "Indeed, I have seen myself carrying upon my head [loaves of] bread from which the birds were eating. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we consider you of those who do good." (36)

قَالَ لَا یَاْتِیْكُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقٰنِهٖۤ اِلَّا نَبَّاْتُكُمَا بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ قَبْلَ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَكُمَاؕ-ذٰلِكُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِیْ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنِّیْ تَرَكْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْمٍ لَّا یُؤْمِنُوْنَ بِاللّٰهِ وَ هُمْ بِالْاٰخِرَةِ هُمْ كٰفِرُوْنَ(37)

He said, "You will not receive food that you are provided but 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 are disbelievers in the Hereafter. (37)

وَ اتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ اٰبَآءِیْۤ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ وَ اِسْحٰقَ وَ یَعْقُوْبَؕ-مَا كَانَ لَنَاۤ اَنْ نُّشْرِكَ بِاللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللّٰهِ عَلَیْنَا وَ عَلَى النَّاسِ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَشْكُرُوْنَ(38)

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. 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. (38)

یٰصَاحِبَیِ السِّجْنِ ءَاَرْبَابٌ مُّتَفَرِّقُوْنَ خَیْرٌ اَمِ اللّٰهُ الْوَاحِدُ الْقَهَّارُﭤ(39)

O my two companions of the prison, are separate lords better or Allah, the One, the Prevailing? (39)

مَا تَعْبُدُوْنَ مِنْ دُوْنِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَسْمَآءً سَمَّیْتُمُوْهَاۤ اَنْتُمْ وَ اٰبَآؤُكُمْ مَّاۤ اَنْزَلَ اللّٰهُ بِهَا مِنْ سُلْطٰنٍؕ-اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ-اَمَرَ اَلَّا تَعْبُدُوْۤا اِلَّاۤ اِیَّاهُؕ-ذٰلِكَ الدِّیْنُ الْقَیِّمُ وَ لٰـكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(40)

You do not worship 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. (40)

یٰصَاحِبَیِ السِّجْنِ اَمَّاۤ اَحَدُكُمَا فَیَسْقِیْ رَبَّهٗ خَمْرًاۚ-وَ اَمَّا الْاٰخَرُ فَیُصْلَبُ فَتَاْكُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْ رَّاْسِهٖؕ-قُضِیَ الْاَمْرُ الَّذِیْ فِیْهِ تَسْتَفْتِیٰنِﭤ(41)

O my two companions of the prison, as for one of you, he will give his master wine to drink; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decided concerning that about which you both inquired." (41)

وَ قَالَ لِلَّذِیْ ظَنَّ اَنَّهٗ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِیْ عِنْدَ رَبِّكَ٘-فَاَنْسٰىهُ الشَّیْطٰنُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهٖ فَلَبِثَ فِی السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِیْنَﭤ(42)

And he said to the one whom he knew would be saved of the two, "Mention me to your master [i.e., the king]." But Satan made him forget the mention of his lord, so Joseph remained in prison for several years. (42)

وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ اِنِّیْۤ اَرٰى سَبْعَ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّ سَبْعَ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّ اُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍؕ-یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْمَلَاُ اَفْتُوْنِیْ فِیْ رُءْیَایَ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ لِلرُّءْیَا تَعْبُرُوْنَ(43)

And the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones, and seven green ears [of grain] and others dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should know how to interpret visions." (43)

قَالُوْۤا اَضْغَاثُ اَحْلَامٍۚ-وَ مَا نَحْنُ بِتَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحْلَامِ بِعٰلِمِیْنَ(44)

They said, "[It is but] confused dreams, and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams." (44)

وَ قَالَ الَّذِیْ نَجَا مِنْهُمَا وَ ادَّكَرَ بَعْدَ اُمَّةٍ اَنَا اُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِتَاْوِیْلِهٖ فَاَرْسِلُوْنِ(45)

But said the one who had been saved of the two, after a time, "I can inform you of its interpretation, so send me [to Joseph]." (45)

یُوْسُفُ اَیُّهَا الصِّدِّیْقُ اَفْتِنَا فِیْ سَبْعِ بَقَرٰتٍ سِمَانٍ یَّاْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَّ سَبْعِ سُنْۢبُلٰتٍ خُضْرٍ وَّ اُخَرَ یٰبِسٰتٍۙ-لَّعَلِّیْۤ اَرْجِـعُ اِلَى النَّاسِ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَعْلَمُوْنَ(46)

[He said], "Joseph, O man of truth, explain to us about seven fat cows being eaten by seven lean ones and seven green ears [of grain] and others dry - that I may return to the people; perhaps they will know [the interpretation]." (46)

قَالَ تَزْرَعُوْنَ سَبْعَ سِنِیْنَ دَاَبًاۚ-فَمَا حَصَدْتُّمْ فَذَرُوْهُ فِیْ سُنْۢبُلِهٖۤ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تَاْكُلُوْنَ(47)

[Joseph] said, "You will plant for seven years consecutively; and what you harvest, leave it in its ear, except a little from which you will eat. (47)

ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ سَبْعٌ شِدَادٌ یَّاْكُلْنَ مَا قَدَّمْتُمْ لَهُنَّ اِلَّا قَلِیْلًا مِّمَّا تُحْصِنُوْنَ(48)

Then will come after that seven difficult [years] which will consume what you stored for them, except a little of which you will preserve. (48)

ثُمَّ یَاْتِیْ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ ذٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِیْهِ یُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَ فِیْهِ یَعْصِرُوْنَ(49)

Then will come after that a year in which the people will be relieved and in which they will press [olives and grapes]." (49)

وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖۚ-فَلَمَّا جَآءَهُ الرَّسُوْلُ قَالَ ارْجِـعْ اِلٰى رَبِّكَ فَسْــٴَـلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ الَّٰتِیْ قَطَّعْنَ اَیْدِیَهُنَّؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ بِكَیْدِهِنَّ عَلِیْمٌ(50)

And the king said, "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is knowing of their plan." (50)

قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ اِذْ رَاوَدْتُّنَّ یُوْسُفَ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖؕ-قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَیْهِ مِنْ سُوْٓءٍؕ-قَالَتِ امْرَاَتُ الْعَزِیْزِ الْــٴٰـنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ٘-اَنَا رَاوَدْتُّهٗ عَنْ نَّفْسِهٖ وَ اِنَّهٗ لَمِنَ الصّٰدِقِیْنَ(51)

[The king] said [to the women], "What was your case when you sought to seduce Joseph?" They said, "Perfect is Allah! We did not know about him any evil." Said the wife of al-'Aziz, "Now the truth has become evident. It was I who sought to seduce him, and indeed, he is of the truthful." (51)

ذٰلِكَ لِیَعْلَمَ اَنِّیْ لَمْ اَخُنْهُ بِالْغَیْبِ وَ اَنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یَهْدِیْ كَیْدَ الْخَآىٕنِیْنَ(52)

[Joseph said], "That was so he would know that I did not betray him in [his] absence and that Allah does not guide the plan of betrayers. (52)

وَ مَاۤ اُبَرِّئُ نَفْسِیْۚ-اِنَّ النَّفْسَ لَاَمَّارَةٌۢ بِالسُّوْٓءِ اِلَّا مَا رَحِمَ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ غَفُوْرٌ رَّحِیْمٌ(53)

And I do not acquit myself. Indeed, the soul is ever inclined to evil, except the one my Lord has mercy upon. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful." (53)

وَ قَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖۤ اَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِیْۚ-فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهٗ قَالَ اِنَّكَ الْیَوْمَ لَدَیْنَا مَكِیْنٌ اَمِیْنٌ(54)

And 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 among us established [in position] and trustworthy." (54)

قَالَ اجْعَلْنِیْ عَلٰى خَزَآىٕنِ الْاَرْضِۚ-اِنِّیْ حَفِیْظٌ عَلِیْمٌ(55)

[Joseph] said, "Appoint me over the storehouses of the land. Indeed, I will be a knowing guardian." (55)

وَ كَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِیُوْسُفَ فِی الْاَرْضِۚ-یَتَبَوَّاُ مِنْهَا حَیْثُ یَشَآءُؕ-نُصِیْبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَنْ نَّشَآءُ وَ لَا نُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(56)

And thus We established Joseph in the land. He settled therein wherever he willed. We touch with Our mercy whom We will, and We do not waste the reward of those who do good. (56)

وَ لَاَجْرُ الْاٰخِرَةِ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اٰمَنُوْا وَ كَانُوْا یَتَّقُوْنَ(57)

And the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and were fearing Allah. (57)

وَ جَآءَ اِخْوَةُ یُوْسُفَ فَدَخَلُوْا عَلَیْهِ فَعَرَفَهُمْ وَ هُمْ لَهٗ مُنْكِرُوْنَ(58)

And the brothers of Joseph came [to Egypt] and entered upon him, and he recognized them, but they were to him unknown. (58)

وَ لَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ قَالَ ائْتُوْنِیْ بِاَخٍ لَّكُمْ مِّنْ اَبِیْكُمْۚ-اَلَا تَرَوْنَ اَنِّیْۤ اُوْفِی الْكَیْلَ وَ اَنَا خَیْرُ الْمُنْزِلِیْنَ(59)

And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of hosts? (59)

فَاِنْ لَّمْ تَاْتُوْنِیْ بِهٖ فَلَا كَیْلَ لَكُمْ عِنْدِیْ وَ لَا تَقْرَبُوْنِ(60)

But if you do not bring him to me, then there will be no measure [of grain] for you with me, nor will you approach me." (60)

قَالُوْا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ اَبَاهُ وَ اِنَّا لَفٰعِلُوْنَ(61)

They said, "We will try to persuade his father about him, and indeed, we will do [it]." (61)

وَ قَالَ لِفِتْیٰنِهِ اجْعَلُوْا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ فِیْ رِحَالِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَعْرِفُوْنَهَاۤ اِذَا انْقَلَبُوْۤا اِلٰۤى اَهْلِهِمْ لَعَلَّهُمْ یَرْجِعُوْنَ(62)

And he said to his servants, "Put their merchandise in their saddlebags so that they might recognize it when they return to their people; perhaps they will come back." (62)

فَلَمَّا رَجَعُوْۤا اِلٰۤى اَبِیْهِمْ قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَیْلُ فَاَرْسِلْ مَعَنَاۤ اَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَ اِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ(63)

So when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, the measure [of grain] has been withheld from us, so send with us our brother [Benjamin] that we may obtain [our measure]. And indeed, we will be his guardians." (63)

قَالَ هَلْ اٰمَنُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اِلَّا كَمَاۤ اَمِنْتُكُمْ عَلٰۤى اَخِیْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُؕ-فَاللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ حٰفِظًا۪-وَّ هُوَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ(64)

He said, "Should I entrust him to you except as I entrusted his brother [Joseph] to you before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful." (64)

وَ لَمَّا فَتَحُوْا مَتَاعَهُمْ وَجَدُوْا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ اِلَیْهِمْؕ-قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِیْؕ-هٰذِهٖ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ اِلَیْنَاۚ-وَ نَمِیْرُ اَهْلَنَا وَ نَحْفَظُ اَخَانَا وَ نَزْدَادُ كَیْلَ بَعِیْرٍؕ-ذٰلِكَ كَیْلٌ یَّسِیْرٌ(65)

And 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 [of grain]. That is an easy measure." (65)

قَالَ لَنْ اُرْسِلَهٗ مَعَكُمْ حَتّٰى تُؤْتُوْنِ مَوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ لَتَاْتُنَّنِیْ بِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یُّحَاطَ بِكُمْۚ-فَلَمَّاۤ اٰتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ قَالَ اللّٰهُ عَلٰى مَا نَقُوْلُ وَكِیْلٌ(66)

He said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise by Allah that you will surely bring him back to me, unless you should be surrounded [by an enemy]." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allah is, upon what we say, witness." (66)

وَ قَالَ یٰبَنِیَّ لَا تَدْخُلُوْا مِنْۢ بَابٍ وَّاحِدٍ وَّ ادْخُلُوْا مِنْ اَبْوَابٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٍؕ-وَ مَاۤ اُغْنِیْ عَنْكُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍؕ-اِنِ الْحُكْمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰهِؕ-عَلَیْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُۚ-وَ عَلَیْهِ فَلْیَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُوْنَ(67)

And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from separate gates; and I cannot avail you against Allah at all. Legislation is only for Allah; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely." (67)

وَ لَمَّا دَخَلُوْا مِنْ حَیْثُ اَمَرَهُمْ اَبُوْهُمْؕ-مَا كَانَ یُغْنِیْ عَنْهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَیْءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِیْ نَفْسِ یَعْقُوْبَ قَضٰىهَاؕ-وَ اِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنٰهُ وَ لٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ(68)

And 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. (68)

وَ لَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلٰى یُوْسُفَ اٰوٰۤى اِلَیْهِ اَخَاهُ قَالَ اِنِّیْۤ اَنَا اَخُوْكَ فَلَا تَبْتَىٕسْ بِمَا كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ(69)

And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother [Benjamin] aside, saying, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not grieve over what they used to do." (69)

فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُمْ بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ السِّقَایَةَ فِیْ رَحْلِ اَخِیْهِ ثُمَّ اَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ اَیَّتُهَا الْعِیْرُ اِنَّكُمْ لَسٰرِقُوْنَ(70)

So when he had furnished them with their supplies, he placed the [king's] cup in the bag of his brother. Then a crier called out, "O caravan, indeed you are thieves." (70)

قَالُوْا وَ اَقْبَلُوْا عَلَیْهِمْ مَّا ذَا تَفْقِدُوْنَ(71)

They said while approaching them, "What is it you have lost?" (71)

قَالُوْا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَ لِمَنْ جَآءَ بِهٖ حِمْلُ بَعِیْرٍ وَّ اَنَا بِهٖ زَعِیْمٌ(72)

They said, "We have lost the king's cup, and for whoever produces it is [the reward of] a camel's load, and I am responsible for it." (72)

قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا جِئْنَا لِنُفْسِدَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَ مَا كُنَّا سٰرِقِیْنَ(73)

They said, "By Allah, you have certainly known that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we have not been thieves." (73)

قَالُوْا فَمَا جَزَآؤُهٗۤ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ كٰذِبِیْنَ(74)

They said, "Then what would be its recompense if you should be liars?" (74)

قَالُوْا جَزَآؤُهٗ مَنْ وُّجِدَ فِیْ رَحْلِهٖ فَهُوَ جَزَآؤُهٗؕ-كَذٰلِكَ نَجْزِی الظّٰلِمِیْنَ(75)

They said, "Its recompense is that whoever it is found in his bag - he will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers." (75)

فَبَدَاَ بِاَوْعِیَتِهِمْ قَبْلَ وِعَآءِ اَخِیْهِ ثُمَّ اسْتَخْرَجَهَا مِنْ وِّعَآءِ اَخِیْهِؕ-كَذٰلِكَ كِدْنَا لِیُوْسُفَؕ-مَا كَانَ لِیَاْخُذَ اَخَاهُ فِیْ دِیْنِ الْمَلِكِ اِلَّاۤ اَنْ یَّشَآءَ اللّٰهُؕ-نَرْفَعُ دَرَجٰتٍ مَّنْ نَّشَآءُؕ-وَ فَوْقَ كُلِّ ذِیْ عِلْمٍ عَلِیْمٌ(76)

So he began 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 degree] whom We will, but above every possessor of knowledge is one more knowing. (76)

قَالُـوْۤا اِنْ یَّسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ اَخٌ لَّهٗ مِنْ قَبْلُۚ-فَاَسَرَّهَا یُوْسُفُ فِیْ نَفْسِهٖ وَ لَمْ یُبْدِهَا لَهُمْۚ-قَالَ اَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًاؕ-وَ اللّٰهُ اَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُوْنَ(77)

They 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 [to himself], "You are worse in position, and Allah is more knowing of what you describe." (77)

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْعَزِیْزُ اِنَّ لَهٗۤ اَبًا شَیْخًا كَبِیْرًا فَخُذْ اَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهٗۚ-اِنَّا نَرٰىكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(78)

They said, "O 'Azeez, indeed he has a father [who is] an old man of great age, so take one of us in his place. Indeed, we consider you of the doers of good." (78)

قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اَنْ نَّاْخُذَ اِلَّا مَنْ وَّجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِنْدَهٗۤۙ-اِنَّـاۤ اِذًا لَّظٰلِمُوْنَ(79)

He said, "[I seek] refuge in Allah that we should take anyone except him with whom we found our property. Indeed, we would then be unjust." (79)

فَلَمَّا اسْتَایْــٴَـسُوْا مِنْهُ خَلَصُوْا نَجِیًّاؕ-قَالَ كَبِیْرُهُمْ اَلَمْ تَعْلَمُوْۤا اَنَّ اَبَاكُمْ قَدْ اَخَذَ عَلَیْكُمْ مَّوْثِقًا مِّنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مِنْ قَبْلُ مَا فَرَّطْتُّمْ فِیْ یُوْسُفَۚ-فَلَنْ اَبْرَحَ الْاَرْضَ حَتّٰى یَاْذَنَ لِیْۤ اَبِیْۤ اَوْ یَحْكُمَ اللّٰهُ لِیْۚ-وَ هُوَ خَیْرُ الْحٰكِمِیْنَ(80)

So when they despaired of [persuading] him, they conferred privately. Said their eldest, "Did you not know that your father had taken upon you a promise 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 deciders. (80)

اِرْجِعُوْۤا اِلٰۤى اَبِیْكُمْ فَقُوْلُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَاۤ اِنَّ ابْنَكَ سَرَقَۚ-وَ مَا شَهِدْنَاۤ اِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمْنَا وَ مَا كُنَّا لِلْغَیْبِ حٰفِظِیْنَ(81)

Return 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 guardians of the unseen. (81)

وَ سْــٴَـلِ الْقَرْیَةَ الَّتِیْ كُنَّا فِیْهَا وَ الْعِیْرَ الَّتِیْۤ اَقْبَلْنَا فِیْهَاؕ-وَ اِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ(82)

And ask the town in which we were and the caravan in which we came, and indeed, we are truthful.'" (82)

قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ اَنْفُسُكُمْ اَمْرًاؕ-فَصَبْرٌ جَمِیْلٌؕ-عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنْ یَّاْتِیَنِیْ بِهِمْ جَمِیْعًاؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَلِیْمُ الْحَكِیْمُ(83)

He 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." (83)

وَ تَوَلّٰى عَنْهُمْ وَ قَالَ یٰۤاَسَفٰى عَلٰى یُوْسُفَ وَ ابْیَضَّتْ عَیْنٰهُ مِنَ الْحُزْنِ فَهُوَ كَظِیْمٌ(84)

And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white with grief, for he was [of that grief] a suppressor. (84)

قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ تَفْتَؤُا تَذْكُرُ یُوْسُفَ حَتّٰى تَكُوْنَ حَرَضًا اَوْ تَكُوْنَ مِنَ الْهٰلِكِیْنَ(85)

They said, "By Allah, you will not cease remembering Joseph until you become fatally ill or become of those who have perished." (85)

قَالَ اِنَّمَاۤ اَشْكُوْا بَثِّیْ وَ حُزْنِیْۤ اِلَى اللّٰهِ وَ اَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(86)

He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know. (86)

یٰبَنِیَّ اذْهَبُوْا فَتَحَسَّسُوْا مِنْ یُّوْسُفَ وَ اَخِیْهِ وَ لَا تَایْــٴَـسُوْا مِنْ رَّوْحِ اللّٰهِؕ-اِنَّهٗ لَا یَایْــٴَـسُ مِنْ رَّوْحِ اللّٰهِ اِلَّا الْقَوْمُ الْكٰفِرُوْنَ(87)

O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and do not despair of relief from Allah. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allah except the disbelieving people." (87)

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلَیْهِ قَالُوْا یٰۤاَیُّهَا الْعَزِیْزُ مَسَّنَا وَ اَهْلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَ جِئْنَا بِبِضَاعَةٍ مُّزْجٰىةٍ فَاَوْفِ لَنَا الْكَیْلَ وَ تَصَدَّقْ عَلَیْنَاؕ-اِنَّ اللّٰهَ یَجْزِی الْمُتَصَدِّقِیْنَ(88)

And when they entered upon him, they said, "O 'Azeez, we and our family have been touched by hardship, and we have come with poor merchandise, so fill for us the measure and be charitable to us; indeed, Allah rewards the charitable." (88)

قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا فَعَلْتُمْ بِیُوْسُفَ وَ اَخِیْهِ اِذْ اَنْتُمْ جٰهِلُوْنَ(89)

He said, "Do you know what you did with Joseph and his brother when you were ignorant?" (89)

قَالُـوْۤا ءَاِنَّكَ لَاَنْتَ یُوْسُفُؕ-قَالَ اَنَا یُوْسُفُ وَ هٰذَاۤ اَخِیْ٘-قَدْ مَنَّ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْنَاؕ-اِنَّهٗ مَنْ یَّتَّقِ وَ یَصْبِرْ فَاِنَّ اللّٰهَ لَا یُضِیْعُ اَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِیْنَ(90)

They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allah has certainly favored us. Indeed, whoever fears Allah and is patient - then indeed, Allah does not waste the reward of the doers of good." (90)

قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ لَقَدْ اٰثَرَكَ اللّٰهُ عَلَیْنَا وَ اِنْ كُنَّا لَخٰطِـٕیْنَ(91)

They said, "By Allah, Allah has certainly preferred you over us, and indeed, we have been sinners." (91)

قَالَ لَا تَثْرِیْبَ عَلَیْكُمُ الْیَوْمَؕ-یَغْفِرُ اللّٰهُ لَكُمْ٘-وَ هُوَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ(92)

He said, "No blame will there be upon you today. Allah will forgive you; and He is the most merciful of the merciful." (92)

اِذْهَبُوْا بِقَمِیْصِیْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقُوْهُ عَلٰى وَجْهِ اَبِیْ یَاْتِ بَصِیْرًاۚ-وَ اْتُوْنِیْ بِاَهْلِكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ(93)

Take this shirt of mine and cast it over the face of my father, and he will become seeing. And bring me your family, all of them." (93)

وَ لَمَّا فَصَلَتِ الْعِیْرُ قَالَ اَبُوْهُمْ اِنِّیْ لَاَجِدُ رِیْحَ یُوْسُفَ لَوْ لَاۤ اَنْ تُفَنِّدُوْنِ(94)

And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said, "Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph - [or] perhaps you think I am senile." (94)

قَالُوْا تَاللّٰهِ اِنَّكَ لَفِیْ ضَلٰلِكَ الْقَدِیْمِ(95)

They said, "By Allah, indeed you are in your old error." (95)

فَلَمَّاۤ اَنْ جَآءَ الْبَشِیْرُ اَلْقٰىهُ عَلٰى وَجْهِهٖ فَارْتَدَّ بَصِیْرًاۚ-قَالَ اَلَمْ اَقُلْ لَّكُمْ ﳐ اِنِّیْۤ اَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّٰهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُوْنَ(96)

And when the bearer of good tidings arrived, he cast it over his face, and he returned [to] seeing. He said, "Did I not say to you that I know from Allah that which you do not know?" (96)

قَالُوْا یٰۤاَبَانَا اسْتَغْفِرْ لَنَا ذُنُوْبَنَاۤ اِنَّا كُنَّا خٰطِـٕیْنَ(97)

They said, "O our father, ask forgiveness for us of our sins; indeed, we have been sinners." (97)

قَالَ سَوْفَ اَسْتَغْفِرُ لَكُمْ رَبِّیْؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْغَفُوْرُ الرَّحِیْمُ(98)

He said, "I will ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Indeed, it is He who is the Forgiving, the Merciful." (98)

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا عَلٰى یُوْسُفَ اٰوٰۤى اِلَیْهِ اَبَوَیْهِ وَ قَالَ ادْخُلُوْا مِصْرَ اِنْ شَآءَ اللّٰهُ اٰمِنِیْنَﭤ(99)

And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his parents to himself and said, "Enter Egypt, if Allah wills, in security." (99)

وَ رَفَعَ اَبَوَیْهِ عَلَى الْعَرْشِ وَ خَرُّوْا لَهٗ سُجَّدًاۚ-وَ قَالَ یٰۤاَبَتِ هٰذَا تَاْوِیْلُ رُءْیَایَ مِنْ قَبْلُ٘-قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّیْ حَقًّاؕ-وَ قَدْ اَحْسَنَ بِیْۤ اِذْ اَخْرَجَنِیْ مِنَ السِّجْنِ وَ جَآءَ بِكُمْ مِّنَ الْبَدْوِ مِنْۢ بَعْدِ اَنْ نَّزَغَ الشَّیْطٰنُ بَیْنِیْ وَ بَیْنَ اِخْوَتِیْؕ-اِنَّ رَبِّیْ لَطِیْفٌ لِّمَا یَشَآءُؕ-اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الْعَلِیْمُ الْحَكِیْمُ(100)

And he raised his parents upon the throne, and they fell down prostrating before him. And he said, "O my father, this is the interpretation of my vision of before. My Lord has made it reality. And He was good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you [here] from the desert after Satan had induced [estrangement] between me and my brothers. Indeed, my Lord is subtle in what He wills. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise. (100)

رَبِّ قَدْ اٰتَیْتَنِیْ مِنَ الْمُلْكِ وَ عَلَّمْتَنِیْ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِۚ-فَاطِرَ السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ- اَنْتَ وَلِیّٖ فِی الدُّنْیَا وَ الْاٰخِرَةِۚ-تَـوَفَّنِیْ مُسْلِمًا وَّ اَلْحِقْنِیْ بِالصّٰلِحِیْنَ(101)

My Lord, You have given me [something] of sovereignty and taught me [something] of the interpretation of dreams. Creator of the heavens and earth, You are my protector in this world and in the Hereafter. Cause me to die a Muslim and join me with the righteous." (101)

ذٰلِكَ مِنْ اَنْۢبَآءِ الْغَیْبِ نُوْحِیْهِ اِلَیْكَۚ-وَ مَا كُنْتَ لَدَیْهِمْ اِذْ اَجْمَعُوْۤا اَمْرَهُمْ وَ هُمْ یَمْكُرُوْنَ(102)

That is from the news of the unseen which We reveal to you, [O Muhammad]. And you were not with them when they put together their plan while they were devising. (102)

وَ مَاۤ اَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَ لَوْ حَرَصْتَ بِمُؤْمِنِیْنَ(103)

And most of the people, although you strive [for it], are not believers. (103)

وَ مَا تَسْــٴَـلُهُمْ عَلَیْهِ مِنْ اَجْرٍؕ-اِنْ هُوَ اِلَّا ذِكْرٌ لِّلْعٰلَمِیْنَ(104)

And you do not ask them for it any payment. It is not but a reminder to the worlds. (104)

وَ كَاَیِّنْ مِّنْ اٰیَةٍ فِی السَّمٰوٰتِ وَ الْاَرْضِ یَمُرُّوْنَ عَلَیْهَا وَ هُمْ عَنْهَا مُعْرِضُوْنَ(105)

And how many a sign within the heavens and the earth do they pass over while they, therefrom, are turning away. (105)

وَ مَا یُؤْمِنُ اَكْثَرُهُمْ بِاللّٰهِ اِلَّا وَ هُمْ مُّشْرِكُوْنَ(106)

And most of them believe not in Allah except while they associate others with Him. (106)

اَفَاَمِنُوْۤا اَنْ تَاْتِیَهُمْ غَاشِیَةٌ مِّنْ عَذَابِ اللّٰهِ اَوْ تَاْتِیَهُمُ السَّاعَةُ بَغْتَةً وَّ هُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ(107)

Then do they feel secure from the overwhelming punishment of Allah or from the Hour coming upon them suddenly while they do not perceive? (107)

قُلْ هٰذِهٖ سَبِیْلِیْۤ اَدْعُوْۤا اِلَى اللّٰهِ ﱘ عَلٰى بَصِیْرَةٍ اَنَا وَ مَنِ اتَّبَعَنِیْؕ-وَ سُبْحٰنَ اللّٰهِ وَ مَاۤ اَنَا مِنَ الْمُشْرِكِیْنَ(108)

Say, "This is my way; I invite to Allah with insight, I and those who follow me. And exalted is Allah; and I am not of those who associate others with Him." (108)

وَ مَاۤ اَرْسَلْنَا مِنْ قَبْلِكَ اِلَّا رِجَالًا نُّوْحِیْۤ اِلَیْهِمْ مِّنْ اَهْلِ الْقُرٰىؕ-اَفَلَمْ یَسِیْرُوْا فِی الْاَرْضِ فَیَنْظُرُوْا كَیْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الَّذِیْنَ مِنْ قَبْلِهِمْؕ-وَ لَدَارُ الْاٰخِرَةِ خَیْرٌ لِّلَّذِیْنَ اتَّقَوْاؕ-اَفَلَا تَعْقِلُوْنَ(109)

And We sent not before you [as messengers] except men from the people of cities to whom We revealed. So have they not traveled through the earth and observed how was the end of those before them? And the home of the Hereafter is best for those who fear Allah. Then will you not use reason? (109)

حَتّٰۤى اِذَا اسْتَایْــٴَـسَ الرُّسُلُ وَ ظَنُّوْۤا اَنَّهُمْ قَدْ كُذِبُوْا جَآءَهُمْ نَصْرُنَا فَنُجِّیَ مَنْ نَّشَآءُؕ-وَ لَا یُرَدُّ بَاْسُنَا عَنِ الْقَوْمِ الْمُجْرِمِیْنَ(110)

[They continued] until, when the messengers despaired and thought that they had been told lies, Our victory came to them, and We saved whom We willed. And Our punishment is not repelled from the wrongdoing people. (110)

لَقَدْ كَانَ فِیْ قَصَصِهِمْ عِبْرَةٌ لِّاُولِی الْاَلْبَابِؕ-مَا كَانَ حَدِیْثًا یُّفْتَرٰى وَ لٰـكِنْ تَصْدِیْقَ الَّذِیْ بَیْنَ یَدَیْهِ وَ تَفْصِیْلَ كُلِّ شَیْءٍ وَّ هُدًى وَّ رَحْمَةً لِّقَوْمٍ یُّؤْمِنُوْنَ(111)

There was certainly in their stories a lesson for those of understanding. It was not a حديث invented, but a confirmation of what was before it and a detailed explanation of all things and guidance and mercy for a people who believe. (111)
