Tafheem ul Quran
Surah 12 Yusuf, Ayat 83-83
قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَـكُمۡ اَنۡفُسُكُمۡ اَمۡرًاؕ فَصَبۡرٌ جَمِيۡلٌؕ عَسَى اللّٰهُ اَنۡ يَّاۡتِيَنِىۡ بِهِمۡ جَمِيۡعًاؕ اِنَّهٗ هُوَ الۡعَلِيۡمُ الۡحَكِيۡمُ
﴿12:83﴾
(12:83) The father heard the narration and said: "(All that is untrue). But
your souls have made it easy for you to engage in a heinous act.64
So, I will be graciously patient even at this. Allah may well bring them all
back to me. He is All-Knowing, All-Wise."
Notes
64. That is, you readily believed that my son, whom I know to be of a noble
character, had committed the theft of a cup. You have behaved in his case just
as you behaved in the case of his elder brother. You made away with him and
then pretended, without any pangs of conscience, that a wolf had devoured him
and now, with the same ease, you tell me that the other brother has committed
a theft.
