12:69
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَخَاهُ ۖ قَالَ إِنِّىٓ أَنَا۠ أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبْتَئِسْ بِمَا كَانُوا۟ يَعْمَلُونَ ٦٩
And when they went in before Joseph, he took his brother unto him, saying: Lo! I, even I, am thy brother, therefore sorrow not for what they did.
And when they entered upon Joseph, he took his brother to himself; he said, "Indeed, I am your brother, so do not despair over what they used to do [to me]."
When they presented themselves before Joseph, he took his brother aside to himself and said: "Verily I am your own brother Joseph; so do not grieve over the manner they have treated you."
يُخْبِرُ تَعَالَى عَنْ إِخْوَةِ يُوسُفَ لَمَّا قَدِمُوا عَلَى يُوسُفَ وَمَعَهُمْ أَخُوهُ شَقِيقُهُ بِنْيَامِينُ، فَأَدْخَلَهُمْ دَارَ كَرَامَتِهِ وَمَنْزِلَ ضِيَافَتِهِ، وَأَفَاضَ عَلَيْهِمُ الصِّلَةَ وَالْإِلْطَافَ وَالْإِحْسَانَ، وَاخْتَلَى بِأَخِيهِ فَأَطْلَعَهُ عَلَى شَأْنِهِ، وَمَا جَرَى لَهُ، وعَرّفه أَنَّهُ أَخُوهُ، وَقَالَ لَهُ: "لَا تَبْتَئِسْ" أَيْ: لَا تَأْسَفْ عَلَى مَا صَنَعُوا بِي، وَأَمَرَهُ بِكِتْمَانِ ذَلِكَ عَنْهُمْ، وَأَلَّا يُطْلِعَهُمْ عَلَى مَا أَطْلَعَهُ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَنَّهُ أَخُوهُ، وَتَوَاطَأَ مَعَهُ أَنَّهُ سَيَحْتَالُ عَلَى أَنْ يُبْقِيَهُ عِنْدَهُ، مُعزّزًا مكرما معظما.
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.
