Translation of Verse 94-104

94. When the caravan departed ˹from Egypt˺, their father said ˹to those around him˺, "You may think I am senile, but I certainly sense the smell of Joseph."

95. They replied, "By Allah! You are definitely still in your old delusion."

96. But when the bearer of the good news arrived, he cast the shirt over Jacob's face, so he regained his sight. Jacob then said ˹to his children˺, "Did I not tell you that I truly know from Allah what you do not know?"

97. They begged, "O our father! Pray for the forgiveness of our sins. We have certainly been sinful."

98. He said, "I will pray to my Lord for your forgiveness. 461 He ˹alone˺ is indeed the All-Forgiving, Most Merciful."

99. When they entered Joseph's presence, he received his parents ˹graciously˺ and said, "Enter Egypt, Allah willing, in security."

100. Then he raised his parents to the throne, and they all fell down in prostration to Joseph, 462 who then said, "O my dear father! This is the interpretation of my old dream. My Lord has made it come true. He was truly kind to me when He freed me from prison, and brought you all from the desert after Satan had ignited rivalry between me and my siblings. 463 Indeed my Lord is subtle in fulfilling what He wills. Surely He ˹alone˺ is the All-Knowing, All-Wise."

101. "My Lord! You have surely granted me authority and taught me the interpretation of dreams. ˹O˺ Originator of the heavens and the earth! You are my Guardian in this world and the Hereafter. Allow me to die as one who submits 464 and join me with the righteous."

102. That is from the stories of the unseen which We reveal to you ˹O Prophet˺. You were not present when they ˹all˺ 465 made up their minds, and when they plotted ˹against Joseph˺.

103. And most people will not believe-no matter how keen you are-

104. even though you are not asking them for a reward for this ˹Quran˺. It is only a reminder to the whole world.


Commentary

461. Jacob ( ﷺ ) delayed the prayer for his children to be forgiven until pre-dawn, which is a blessed time for supplication.

462. Joseph's parents and his eleven brothers prostrated before him out of respect, not as an act of worship. This was permissible in their tradition, but in Islam, Muslims prostrate only to Allah.

463. Joseph ( ﷺ ) did not mention how Allah saved him from the well because he did not want to embarrass his brothers after forgiving them.

464. lit., as a Muslim.

465. This includes Joseph's brothers, the travellers who picked him up from the well and sold him into slavery, and the Chief Minister's wife and other women in the city.
