Commentary on 12:20
Ata e shitën atë shumë lirë, vetëm për disa grosh. Dukeshin që ata nuk lakmonin më shumë. -Ata e shitën me një çmim tërësisht të papërfillshëm. Ata e shitën për pak dirhemë, duke treguar se ai ishte tejet i parëndësishëm dhe i panevojshëm për ta. Ata nuk kërkuan çmim të lartë, sepse qëllimi i tyre i vetëm ishte thjesht ta largonin atë nga babai i tyre. Ata nuk kishin qëllim që të përfitonin ndonjë çmim nga shitja e tij. Me fjalë të tjera, udhëtarët e karvanit, kur e nxorën këtë djalosh nga pusi, donin ta përvetësonin si një pasuri, që ta shisnin së bashku me mallrat dhe skllevërit e tjerë. Por atje afrohen vëllezërit e tij, që pretendojnë se ai ishte një rob i arratisur prej tyre, prandaj dhe karvani u detyrua ta blinte prej tyre, por me një çmim të parëndësishëm. Vëllezërit e Jusufit kërkuan nga ata që të ishin të kujdesshëm, sepse ai mund edhe të arratisej.

12:15
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَجۡمَعُوٓاْ أَن يَجۡعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلۡجُبِّۚ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمۡرِهِمۡ هَٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٥
So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well...1 But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."

وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٖ كَذِبٖۚ قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ أَنفُسُكُمۡ أَمۡرٗاۖ فَصَبۡرٞ جَمِيلٞۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلۡمُسۡتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ ١٨
And they brought upon his shirt false blood.1 [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allāh is the one sought for help against that which you describe."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِي ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصۡرَ لِٱمۡرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكۡرِمِي مَثۡوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأۡوِيلِ ٱلۡأَحَادِيثِۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٢١
And the one from Egypt1 who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events [i.e., dreams]. And Allāh is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.

And when he [i.e., Joseph] reached maturity, We gave him judgement and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good.
