Yusuf 12:65
Joseph · Juz 13 · Page 243
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُواْ مَتَٰعَهُمۡ وَجَدُواْ بِضَٰعَتَهُمۡ رُدَّتۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبۡغِيۖ هَٰذِهِۦ بِضَٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتۡ إِلَيۡنَاۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهۡلَنَا وَنَحۡفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزۡدَادُ كَيۡلَ بَعِيرٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ كَيۡلٞ يَسِيرٞ ٦٥
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 [i.e., food] for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement."1

Commentary on 12:65
فَأرادُوا تَفْرِيغَ ما قَدِمُوا بِهِ مِنَ المِيرَةِ ﴿ولَمّا فَتَحُوا﴾ أيْ أوْلادُ يَعْقُوبَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ ﴿مَتاعَهُمْ﴾ أيْ أوْعِيَتَهُمُ الَّتِي حَمَلُوها مِن مِصْرَ ﴿وجَدُوا بِضاعَتَهُمْ﴾ أيْ ما كانَ مَعَهم مِن كَنْعانَ بِشِراءِ القُوتِ.
ولَمّا كانَ المُفْرِحُ مُطْلَقَ الرَّدِّ. بَنى لِلْمَفْعُولِ قَوْلَهُ: ﴿رُدَّتْ إلَيْهِمْ﴾ والوِجْدانُ: ظُهُورُ الشَّيْءِ لِلنَّفْسِ بِحاسَّةٍ أوْ ما يُغْنِي عَنْها، فَكَأنَّهُ قِيلَ: ما قالُوا؟ فَقِيلَ: ”قالُوا“ أيْ لِأبِيهِمْ ﴿يا أبانا ما﴾ أيْ أيُّ شَيْءٍ ﴿نَبْغِي﴾ أيْ نُرِيدُ، فَكَأنَّهُ قالَ لَهُمْ: ما الخَبَرُ؟ فَقالُوا بَيانًا لِذَلِكَ وتَأْكِيدًا لِلسُّؤالِ في اسْتِصْحابِ أخِيهِمْ: ﴿هَذِهِ بِضاعَتُنا﴾ ثُمَّ بَيَّنُوا مَضْمُونَ الإشارَةِ بِقَوْلِهِمْ: ﴿رُدَّتْ إلَيْنا﴾ هَلْ فَوْقَ هَذا مِن إكْرامٍ.
ولَمّا كانَ التَّقْدِيرُ: فَنَرْجِعُ بِها إلَيْهِ بِأخِينا، فَيَظْهَرُ لَهُ نُصْحُنا وصِدْقُنا، [بَنى عَلَيْهِ قَوْلَهُ]: ﴿ونَمِيرُ أهْلَنا﴾ أيْ نَجْلِبُ إلَيْهِمُ المِيرَةَ بِرُجُوعِنا إلَيْهِ؛ والمِيرَةُ: الأطْعِمَةُ الَّتِي تُحْمَلُ مِن بَلَدٍ إلى بَلَدٍ ﴿ونَحْفَظُ أخانا﴾ فَلا يُصِيبُهُ شَيْءٌ مِمّا يَخْشى عَلَيْهِ، تَأْكِيدًا لِلْوَعْدِ بِحِفْظِهِ وبَيانًا لِعَدَمِ ضَرَرٍ في سَفَرِهِ، ويَدُلُّ عَلى ما في التَّوْراةِ - مِن أنَّهُ كانَ سِجْنَ أحَدِهِمْ لِيَأْتُوا بِأخِيهِمُ الأصْغَرَ - قَوْلُهُ: ﴿ونَـزْدادُ كَيْلَ بَعِيرٍ﴾ أيْ فَيَكُونُ جُمْلَةَ ما نَأْتِي بِهِ (p-١٥٥)بَعْدَ الرُّجُوعِ إلَيْهِ اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ حَمْلًا، لِكُلٍّ مِنّا حِمْلٌ، ولِلْمَسْجُونِ حِمْلانِ - لِكَرَّتِهِ الأُولى والثّانِيَةِ، وذَلِكَ أنَّهُ كانَ لا يُعْطِي إلّا حِمْلًا لِكُلِّ رَأْسٍ، فَكَأنَّهُ ما أعْطاهم لِما جَهَّزَهم غَيْرَ تِسْعَةِ أحْمالٍ، فَكَأنَّهُ قِيلَ: وهَلْ يُجِيبُكم إلى ذَلِكَ في هَذِهِ الأزْمَةِ؟ فَقالُوا: نَعَمْ، لِأنَّ ﴿ذَلِكَ كَيْلٌ يَسِيرٌ﴾ بِالنِّسْبَةِ إلى ما رَأيْنا مِن كَرَمِ شَمائِلِهِ وضَخامَةِ مُلْكِهِ وفَخامَةِ هِمَّتِهِ،

12:64
قَالَ هَلۡ ءَامَنُكُمۡ عَلَيۡهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمۡ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبۡلُ فَٱللَّهُ خَيۡرٌ حَٰفِظٗاۖ وَهُوَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ٦٤
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allāh is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
12:65
وَلَمَّا فَتَحُواْ مَتَٰعَهُمۡ وَجَدُواْ بِضَٰعَتَهُمۡ رُدَّتۡ إِلَيۡهِمۡۖ قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَا مَا نَبۡغِيۖ هَٰذِهِۦ بِضَٰعَتُنَا رُدَّتۡ إِلَيۡنَاۖ وَنَمِيرُ أَهۡلَنَا وَنَحۡفَظُ أَخَانَا وَنَزۡدَادُ كَيۡلَ بَعِيرٖۖ ذَٰلِكَ كَيۡلٞ يَسِيرٞ ٦٥
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 [i.e., food] for our family and protect our brother and obtain an increase of a camel's load; that is an easy measurement."1

12:66
قَالَ لَنۡ أُرۡسِلَهُۥ مَعَكُمۡ حَتَّىٰ تُؤۡتُونِ مَوۡثِقٗا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ لَتَأۡتُنَّنِي بِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن يُحَاطَ بِكُمۡۖ فَلَمَّآ ءَاتَوۡهُ مَوۡثِقَهُمۡ قَالَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَىٰ مَا نَقُولُ وَكِيلٞ ٦٦
[Jacob] said, "Never will I send him with you until you give me a promise [i.e., oath] by Allāh that you will bring him [back] to me, unless you should be surrounded [i.e., overcome by enemies]." And when they had given their promise, he said, "Allāh, over what we say, is Entrusted."1

12:67
وَقَالَ يَٰبَنِيَّ لَا تَدۡخُلُواْ مِنۢ بَابٖ وَٰحِدٖ وَٱدۡخُلُواْ مِنۡ أَبۡوَٰبٖ مُّتَفَرِّقَةٖۖ وَمَآ أُغۡنِي عَنكُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيۡءٍۖ إِنِ ٱلۡحُكۡمُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِۖ عَلَيۡهِ تَوَكَّلۡتُۖ وَعَلَيۡهِ فَلۡيَتَوَكَّلِ ٱلۡمُتَوَكِّلُونَ ٦٧
And he said, "O my sons, do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates; and I cannot avail you against [the decree of] Allāh at all. The decision is only for Allāh; upon Him I have relied, and upon Him let those who would rely [indeed] rely."
12:68
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ أَمَرَهُمۡ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةٗ فِي نَفۡسِ يَعۡقُوبَ قَضَىٰهَاۚ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلۡمٖ لِّمَا عَلَّمۡنَٰهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٨
And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allāh at all except [it was] a need [i.e., concern] within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
12:69
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيۡهِ أَخَاهُۖ قَالَ إِنِّيٓ أَنَا۠ أَخُوكَ فَلَا تَبۡتَئِسۡ بِمَا كَانُواْ يَعۡمَلُونَ ٦٩
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]."
