Commentary on 12:89
ويبدو أن يوسف - عليه السلام - قد تأثر بما أصابهم من ضر وضيق حال ، تأثراً جعله لا يستطيع أن يخفى حقيقته عنهم أكثر من ذلك ، فبادرهم بقوله : ( قَالَ هَلْ عَلِمْتُمْ مَّا فَعَلْتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذْ أَنتُمْ جَاهِلُونَ ) .أى : قال لهم يوسف - عليه السلام - على سبيل التعريض بهم ، والتذكير بأخطائهم : هل علمتم ما فعلتموه بيوسف وأخيه من أذى وعدوان عليهما ، وقت أن كنتم تجهلون سوء عاقبة هذا الأذى والعدوان .قالوا : وقوله هذا يدل على سمو أخلاقه حتى لكأنه يلتمس لهم العذر ، لأن ما فعلوه معه ومع أخيه كان فى وقت جهلهم وقصور عقولهم ، وعدم علمهم بقبح ما أقدموا عليه . . .وقيل : نفى عنهم العلم وأثبت لهم الجهل ، لأنهم لم يعملوا بمقتضى علمهم .والأول أولى وأقرب إلى ما يدل عليه سياق الآيات بعد ذلك ، من عفوه عنهم ، وطلب المغفرة لهم .

12:87
يَٰبَنِيَّ ٱذۡهَبُواْ فَتَحَسَّسُواْ مِن يُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ وَلَا تَاْيۡـَٔسُواْ مِن رَّوۡحِ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يَاْيۡـَٔسُ مِن رَّوۡحِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا ٱلۡقَوۡمُ ٱلۡكَٰفِرُونَ ٨٧
O my sons, go and find out about Joseph and his brother and despair not of relief from Allāh. Indeed, no one despairs of relief from Allāh except the disbelieving people."
12:88
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ عَلَيۡهِ قَالُواْ يَٰٓأَيُّهَا ٱلۡعَزِيزُ مَسَّنَا وَأَهۡلَنَا ٱلضُّرُّ وَجِئۡنَا بِبِضَٰعَةٖ مُّزۡجَىٰةٖ فَأَوۡفِ لَنَا ٱلۡكَيۡلَ وَتَصَدَّقۡ عَلَيۡنَآۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ يَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقِينَ ٨٨
So when they entered upon him [i.e., Joseph], they said, "O ʿAzeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come with goods poor in quality, but give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allāh rewards the charitable."
12:89

12:90
قَالُوٓاْ أَءِنَّكَ لَأَنتَ يُوسُفُۖ قَالَ أَنَا۠ يُوسُفُ وَهَٰذَآ أَخِيۖ قَدۡ مَنَّ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيۡنَآۖ إِنَّهُۥ مَن يَتَّقِ وَيَصۡبِرۡ فَإِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُضِيعُ أَجۡرَ ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ٩٠
They said, "Are you indeed Joseph?" He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allāh has certainly favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allāh and is patient, then indeed, Allāh does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good."
12:91
