| 12:65 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | When they opened their bags, they discovered that their money had been returned to them. They argued, “O our father! What more can we ask for? Here is our money, fully returned to us. Now we can buy more food for our family. We will watch over our brother, and obtain an extra camel-load of grain. That load can be easily secured.” | |
| 12:66 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Jacob insisted, “I will not send him with you until you give me a solemn oath by Allah that you will certainly bring him back to me, unless you are totally overpowered.” Then after they had given him their oaths, he concluded, “Allah is a Witness to what we have said.” | |
| 12:67 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | He then instructed ˹them˺, “O my sons! Do not enter ˹the city˺ all through one gate, but through separate gates.1 I cannot help you against ˹what is destined by˺ Allah in the least. It is only Allah Who decides. In Him I put my trust. And in Him let the faithful put their trust.” | |
| 12:68 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Then when they entered as their father had instructed them, this did not help them against ˹the Will of˺ Allah whatsoever. It was just a desire in Jacob’s heart which he satisfied. He was truly blessed with ˹great˺ knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most people have no knowledge. | |

| 12:70 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | When Joseph had provided them with supplies, he slipped the royal cup into his brother’s bag. Then a herald cried, “O people of the caravan! You must be thieves!” | |
| 12:71 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | They asked, turning back, “What have you lost?” | |
| 12:72 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | The herald ˹along with the guards˺ replied, “We have lost the King’s measuring cup. And whoever brings it will be awarded a camel-load ˹of grain˺. I guarantee it.” | |
| 12:73 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Joseph’s brothers replied, “By Allah! You know well that we did not come to cause trouble in the land, nor are we thieves.” | |
| 12:74 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Joseph’s men asked, “What should be the price for theft, if you are lying?” | |
| 12:75 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Joseph’s brothers responded, “The price will be ˹the enslavement of˺ the one in whose bag the cup is found. That is how we punish the wrongdoers.” | |
| 12:76 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Joseph began searching their bags before that of his brother ˹Benjamin˺, then brought it out of Benjamin’s bag.

But above those ranking in knowledge is the One All-Knowing. | |
| 12:77 | 2 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | ˹To distance themselves,˺ Joseph’s brothers argued, “If he has stolen, so did his ˹full˺ brother before.”1 But Joseph suppressed his outrage—revealing nothing to them—and said ˹to himself˺, “You are in such an evil position,2 and Allah knows best ˹the truth of˺ what you claim.” | |
| 12:78 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | They appealed, “O Chief Minister! He has a very old father, so take one of us instead. We surely see you as one of the good-doers.” | |
| 12:79 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Joseph responded, “Allah forbid that we should take other than the one with whom we found our property. Otherwise, we would surely be unjust.” | |
| 12:80 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | When they lost all hope in him, they spoke privately. The eldest of them said, “Do you not know that your father had taken a solemn oath by Allah from you, nor how you failed him regarding Joseph before? So I am not leaving this land until my father allows me to, or Allah decides for me. For He is the Best of Judges. | |
| 12:81 | 1 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Return to your father and say, ‘O our father! Your son committed theft. We testify only to what we know. We could not guard against the unforeseen.1 | |
| 12:82 | 0 | Dr. Mustafa Khattab, the Clear Quran | Ask ˹the people of˺ the land where we were and the caravan we travelled with. We are certainly telling the truth.’” | |
