Commentary on 12:85
ثم يحكى القرآن ما قاله أبناء يعقوب له ، وقد رأوه على هذه الصورة من الهم والحزن فيقول : ( قَالُواْ تَالله تَفْتَؤُاْ تَذْكُرُ يُوسُفَ حتى تَكُونَ حَرَضاً أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الهالكين ) .قال الشوكانى : قوله ( تفتأ ) أى : لا تفتأ ، فحذف حرف النفى لأمن اللبس . قال الكسائى : فتأت وفَيِئْتُ أفعل كذا : أى مازلت أفعل كذا .وقال الفراء : إن " لا " مضمرة ، أى لا تفتأ . . ومنه قول الشاعر :فقلت يمين الله أبرح قاعدا ... ولو قطعوا رأسى لديك وأوصالىأى : " لا أبرح قاعدا . . . "و ( حَرَضاً ) مصدر حرض . كتعب - والحرض : الإِشراف على الهلاك من شدة الحزن أو المرض أو غيرهما .والمعنى : قال أبناء يعقوب له بعد أن سمعوه وهو يتحسر على فراق يوسف له : تالله - يا أبانا - ما تزال تذكر يوسف بهذا الحنين الجارف ، والحزن المضنى ، ( حتى تَكُونَ حَرَضاً ) أى : مشرفا على الموت لطول مرضك .( أَوْ تَكُونَ مِنَ الهالكين ) المفارقين لهذه الدنيا .

12:79
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأۡخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدۡنَا مَتَٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذٗا لَّظَٰلِمُونَ ٧٩
He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allāh [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."
12:80
فَلَمَّا ٱسۡتَيۡـَٔسُواْ مِنۡهُ خَلَصُواْ نَجِيّٗاۖ قَالَ كَبِيرُهُمۡ أَلَمۡ تَعۡلَمُوٓاْ أَنَّ أَبَاكُمۡ قَدۡ أَخَذَ عَلَيۡكُم مَّوۡثِقٗا مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ وَمِن قَبۡلُ مَا فَرَّطتُمۡ فِي يُوسُفَۖ فَلَنۡ أَبۡرَحَ ٱلۡأَرۡضَ حَتَّىٰ يَأۡذَنَ لِيٓ أَبِيٓ أَوۡ يَحۡكُمَ ٱللَّهُ لِيۖ وَهُوَ خَيۡرُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٨٠
So when they had despaired of him, they secluded themselves in private consultation. The eldest of them said, "Do you not know that your father has taken upon you an oath by Allāh and [that] before you failed in [your duty to] Joseph? So I will never leave [this] land until my father permits me or Allāh decides for me,1 and He is the best of judges.

ٱرۡجِعُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَبِيكُمۡ فَقُولُواْ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّ ٱبۡنَكَ سَرَقَ وَمَا شَهِدۡنَآ إِلَّا بِمَا عَلِمۡنَا وَمَا كُنَّا لِلۡغَيۡبِ حَٰفِظِينَ ٨١
Return to your father and say, 'O our father, indeed your son has stolen, and we did not testify except to what we knew. And we were not witnesses of the unseen.1

12:82
وَسۡـَٔلِ ٱلۡقَرۡيَةَ ٱلَّتِي كُنَّا فِيهَا وَٱلۡعِيرَ ٱلَّتِيٓ أَقۡبَلۡنَا فِيهَاۖ وَإِنَّا لَصَٰدِقُونَ ٨٢
And ask the city in which we were and the caravan in which we came - and indeed, we are truthful.'"
12:83
قَالَ بَلۡ سَوَّلَتۡ لَكُمۡ أَنفُسُكُمۡ أَمۡرٗاۖ فَصَبۡرٞ جَمِيلٌۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأۡتِيَنِي بِهِمۡ جَمِيعًاۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلۡعَلِيمُ ٱلۡحَكِيمُ ٨٣
[Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. Perhaps Allāh will bring them to me all together. Indeed, it is He who is the Knowing, the Wise."
12:84
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقَالَ يَٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبۡيَضَّتۡ عَيۡنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلۡحُزۡنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٞ ٨٤
And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white1 from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.2

He said, "I only complain of my suffering and my grief to Allāh, and I know from Allāh that which you do not know.
