وَلَمَّا فَتَحُوا۟ مَتَـٰعَهُمْ وَجَدُوا۟ بِضَـٰعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ ۖ قَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِى ۖ هَـٰذِهِۦ بِضَـٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا ۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزْدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍۢ ۖ ذَٰلِكَ كَيْلٌۭ يَسِيرٌۭ ٦٥
And when they opened their belongings they discovered that their merchandise had been returned to them. They said: O our father! What (more) can we ask? Here is our merchandise returned to us. We shall get provision for our folk and guard our brother, and we shall have the extra measure of a camel (load). This (that we bring now) is a light measure.
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; that is an easy measurement."
And when they opened their things they found that their goods had been given back to them. Thereupon they cried: "Father! What else would we desire? Look, even our goods have been given back to us, so we shall go now and bring supplies for our family, we shall protect our brother, and bring another camel-load of corn. That additional supply will be easily secured."
يَقُولُ تَعَالَى: وَلَمَّا فَتَحَ إِخْوَةُ يُوسُفَ مَتَاعَهُمْ، وَجَدُوا بِضَاعَتَهُمْ رُدَّتْ إِلَيْهِمْ، وَهِيَ الَّتِي كَانَ أَمَرَ يُوسُفُ فِتْيَانَهُ بِوَضْعِهَا فِي رِحَالِهِمْ، فَلَمَّا وَجَدُوهَا فِي مَتَاعِهِمْ ﴿قَالُوا يَا أَبَانَا مَا نَبْغِي﴾ ؟ أَيْ: مَاذَا نُرِيدُ؟ ﴿هَذِهِ بِضَاعَتُنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا﴾ كَمَا قَالَ قَتَادَةُ. مَا نَبْغِي وَرَاءَ هَذَا [[في أ: "هذه".]] ؟ إِنَّ بِضَاعَتَنَا رُدَّتْ إِلَيْنَا وَقَدْ أُوفِيَ لَنَا الْكَيْلُ.
﴿وَنَمِيرُ أَهْلَنَا﴾ أَيْ: إِذَا أَرْسَلْتَ أَخَانَا مَعَنَا نَأْتِي بِالْمِيرَةِ إِلَى أَهْلِنَا، ﴿وَنَحْفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنزدَادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍ﴾ وَذَلِكَ أَنَّ يُوسُفَ، عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ، كَانَ يُعْطِي كُلَّ رَجُلٍ حِمْلَ بَعِيرٍ. وَقَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: حِمْلَ حِمَارٍ. وَقَدْ يُسَمَّى فِي بَعْضِ اللُّغَاتِ بَعِيرًا، كَذَا قَالَ.
﴿ذَلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ﴾ هَذَا مِنْ تَمَامِ الْكَلَامِ وَتَحْسِينِهِ، أَيْ: إِنَّ هَذَا يَسِيرٌ فِي مُقَابَلَةِ أَخْذِ أَخِيهِمْ مَا يَعْدِلُ هَذَا.
﴿قَالَ لَنْ أُرْسِلَهُ مَعَكُمْ حَتَّى تُؤْتُونِ مَوْثِقًا مِنَ اللَّهِ﴾ أَيْ: تَحْلِفُونَ [[في ت: "تحلفوا".]] بِالْعُهُودِ وَالْمَوَاثِيقِ، ﴿لَتَأْتُنَّنِي بِهِ إِلا أَنْ يُحَاطَ بِكُمْ﴾ إِلَّا أَنْ تُغْلَبُوا كُلُّكُمْ وَلَا تَقْدِرُونَ عَلَى تَخْلِيصِهِ.
﴿فَلَمَّا آتَوْهُ مَوْثِقَهُمْ﴾ أَكَّدَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ فَقَالَ: ﴿اللَّهُ عَلَى مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٌ﴾
قَالَ ابْنُ إِسْحَاقَ: وَإِنَّمَا فَعَلَ ذَلِكَ؛ لِأَنَّهُ لَمْ يَجِدْ بُدًّا مَنْ بَعْثِهِمْ لِأَجْلِ الْمِيرَةِ، الَّتِي لَا غنى لهم عنها، فبعثه معهم.

About this surah
Makki · order 53
Summary
The subject matter of this Surah indicates that it was revealed during the last stage of the Holy Prophet's residence at Makkah, when the Quraish were considering the question of killing or exiling or imprisoning him. At that time some of the unbelievers put this question (probably at the instigation of the Jews) to test him :'Why did the Israelites go to Egypt?'' This question was asked because they knew that their story was not known to the Arabs for there was no mention of it whatever in their traditions and the Holy Prophet had never even referred to it before.
