Podcast Al Quran #198 Juz 13 QS 12 Yusuf 58-68

[Quran Chapter 12] 58. And Joseph's brothers came, and entered into his presence. He recognized them, but they did not recognize him. 59. When he provided them with their provisions, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I fill up the measure, and I am the best of hosts?" 60. "But if you do not bring him to me, you will have no measure from me, and you will not come near me." 61. They said, "We will solicit him from his father. We will surely do." 62. He said to his servants, "Put their goods in their saddlebags; perhaps they will recognize them when they return to their families, and maybe they will come back." 63. When they returned to their father, they said, "O father, we were denied measure, but send our brother with us, and we will obtain measure. We will take care of him." 64. He said, "Shall I trust you with him, as I trusted you with his brother before? Allah is the Best Guardian, and He is the Most Merciful of the merciful." 65. And when they opened their baggage, they found that their goods were returned to them. They said, "Father, what more do we want? Here are our goods, returned to us. We will provide for our family, and protect our brother, and have an additional camel-load. This is easy commerce." 66. He said, "I will not send him with you, unless you give me a pledge before Allah that you will bring him back to me, unless you get trapped." And when they gave him their pledge, he said, "Allah is witness to what we say." 67. And he said, "O my sons, do not enter by one gate, but enter by different gates. I cannot avail you anything against Allah. The decision rests only with Allah. On Him I rely, and on Him let the reliant rely." 68. And when they entered as their father had instructed them, it did not avail them anything against Allah; it was just a need in the soul of Jacob, which he carried out. He was a person of knowledge inasmuch as We had taught him, but most people do not know.
