نحن نقص عليك أحسن القصص بما أوحينا إليك هذا القرآن وإن كنت من قبله لمن الغافلين
Pickthall
When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream eleven planets and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me.
قال يا بني لا تقصص رؤياك على إخوتك فيكيدوا لك كيدا ۖ إن الشيطان للإنسان عدو مبين
Pickthall
Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect His grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as He perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise.
إذ قالوا ليوسف وأخوه أحب إلى أبينا منا ونحن عصبة إن أبانا لفي ضلال مبين
Pickthall
(One said): Kill Joseph or cast him to some (other) land, so that your father's favour may be all for you, and (that) ye may afterward be righteous folk.
Then, when they led him off, and were of one mind that they should place him in the depth of the pit, We inspired in him: Thou wilt tell them of this deed of theirs when they know (thee) not.
فلما ذهبوا به وأجمعوا أن يجعلوه في غيابت الجب ۚ وأوحينا إليه لتنبئنهم بأمرهم هذا وهم لا يشعرون

And they came weeping to their father in the evening.
Arabic, with marks
وَجَاءُوا أَبَاهُمْ عِشَاءً يَبْكُونَ
Arabic
وجاءوا أباهم عشاء يبكون
Pickthall
Saying: O our father! We went racing one with another, and left Joseph by our things, and the wolf devoured him, and thou believest not our saying even when we speak the truth.
قالوا يا أبانا إنا ذهبنا نستبق وتركنا يوسف عند متاعنا فأكله الذئب ۖ وما أنت بمؤمن لنا ولو كنا صادقين
Pickthall
And they came with false blood on his shirt. He said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience. And Allah it is Whose help is to be sought in that (predicament) which ye describe.
وجاءوا على قميصه بدم كذب ۚ قال بل سولت لكم أنفسكم أمرا ۖ فصبر جميل ۖ والله المستعان على ما تصفون
Pickthall
And there came a caravan, and they sent their waterdrawer. He let down his pail (into the pit). He said: Good luck! Here is a youth. And they hid him as a treasure, and Allah was Aware of what they did.
وشروه بثمن بخس دراهم معدودة وكانوا فيه من الزاهدين
Pickthall
And he of Egypt who purchased him said unto his wife: Receive him honourably. Perchance he may prove useful to us or we may adopt him as a son. Thus we established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah was predominant in His career, but most of mankind know not.
وقال الذي اشتراه من مصر لامرأته أكرمي مثواه عسى أن ينفعنا أو نتخذه ولدا ۚ وكذلك مكنا ليوسف في الأرض ولنعلمه من تأويل الأحاديث ۚ والله غالب على أمره ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
Pickthall
And And when he reached his prime We gave him wisdom and knowledge. Thus We reward the good.
ولما بلغ أشده آتيناه حكما وعلما ۚ وكذلك نجزي المحسنين
Pickthall
And she, in whose house he was, asked of him an evil act. She bolted the doors and said: Come! He said: I seek refuge in Allah! Lo! he is my lord, who hath treated me honourably. Lo! wrong - doers never prosper.
وراودته التي هو في بيتها عن نفسه وغلقت الأبواب وقالت هيت لك ۚ قال معاذ الله ۖ إنه ربي أحسن مثواي ۖ إنه لا يفلح الظالمون
Pickthall
She verily desired him, and he would have desired her if it had not been that he saw the argument of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might ward off from him evil and lewdness. Lo! he was of Our chosen slaves.
ولقد همت به ۖ وهم بها لولا أن رأى برهان ربه ۚ كذلك لنصرف عنه السوء والفحشاء ۚ إنه من عبادنا المخلصين
Pickthall
And they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from behind, and they met her lord and master at the door. She said: What shall be his reward, who wisheth evil to thy folk, save prison or a painful doom ?
واستبقا الباب وقدت قميصه من دبر وألفيا سيدها لدى الباب ۚ قالت ما جزاء من أراد بأهلك سوءا إلا أن يسجن أو عذاب أليم
Pickthall
(Joseph) said: She it was who asked of me an evil act. And a witness of her own folk testified: If his shirt is torn from before, then she speaketh truth and he is of the liars.
يوسف أعرض عن هذا ۚ واستغفري لذنبك ۖ إنك كنت من الخاطئين
Pickthall
And women in the city said: The ruler's wife is asking of her slave - boy an ill - deed. Indeed he has smitten her to the heart with love. We behold her in plain aberration.
۞ وقال نسوة في المدينة امرأت العزيز تراود فتاها عن نفسه ۖ قد شغفها حبا ۖ إنا لنراها في ضلال مبين
Pickthall
And when she heard of their sly talk, she sent to them and prepared for them a cushioned couch (to lie on at the feast) and gave to every one of them a knife and said (to Joseph): Come out unto them! And when they saw him they exalted him and cut their hands, exclaiming: Allah Blameless! This is no a human being. This is not other than some gracious angel.
فلما سمعت بمكرهن أرسلت إليهن وأعتدت لهن متكأ وآتت كل واحدة منهن سكينا وقالت اخرج عليهن ۖ فلما رأينه أكبرنه وقطعن أيديهن وقلن حاش لله ما هذا بشرا إن هذا إلا ملك كريم
Pickthall
She said: This is he on whose account ye blamed me. I asked of him an evil act, but he proved continent, but if he do not my behest he verily shall be imprisoned, and verily shall be of those brought low.
قالت فذلكن الذي لمتنني فيه ۖ ولقد راودته عن نفسه فاستعصم ۖ ولئن لم يفعل ما آمره ليسجنن وليكونا من الصاغرين
Pickthall
He said: O my Lord! Prison is more dear than that unto which they urge me, and if Thou fend not off their wiles from me I shall incline unto them and become of the foolish.
And two young men went to prison with him. One of them said: I dreamed that I was pressing wine. The other said: I dreamed that I was carrying upon my head bread whereof the birds were eating. Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good (at interpretation).
ودخل معه السجن فتيان ۖ قال أحدهما إني أراني أعصر خمرا ۖ وقال الآخر إني أراني أحمل فوق رأسي خبزا تأكل الطير منه ۖ نبئنا بتأويله ۖ إنا نراك من المحسنين
Pickthall
He said: The food which ye are given (daily) shall not come unto you but I shall tell you the interpretation ere it cometh unto you. This is of that which my Lord hath taught me. Lo! I have forsaken the religion of folk who believe not in Allah and are disbelievers in the Hereafter.
قال لا يأتيكما طعام ترزقانه إلا نبأتكما بتأويله قبل أن يأتيكما ۚ ذلكما مما علمني ربي ۚ إني تركت ملة قوم لا يؤمنون بالله وهم بالآخرة هم كافرون
Pickthall
And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. It never was for us to attribute aught as partner to Allah. This is of the bounty of Allah unto us (the seed of Abraham) and unto mankind; but most men give not thanks.
يا صاحبي السجن أأرباب متفرقون خير أم الله الواحد القهار
Pickthall
Those whom ye worship beside Him are but names which ye have named, ye and your fathers. Allah hath revealed no sanction for them. The decision rests with Allah only, Who hath commanded you that ye worship none save Him. This is the right religion, but most men know not.
ما تعبدون من دونه إلا أسماء سميتموها أنتم وآباؤكم ما أنزل الله بها من سلطان ۚ إن الحكم إلا لله ۚ أمر ألا تعبدوا إلا إياه ۚ ذلك الدين القيم ولكن أكثر الناس لا يعلمون
Pickthall
O my two fellow - prisoners! As for one of you, he will pour out wine for his lord to drink; and as for the other, he will be crucified so that the birds will eat from his head. Thus is the case judged concerning which ye did inquire.
يا صاحبي السجن أما أحدكما فيسقي ربه خمرا ۖ وأما الآخر فيصلب فتأكل الطير من رأسه ۚ قضي الأمر الذي فيه تستفتيان
Pickthall
And he said unto him of the twain who he knew would be released: Mention me in the presence of thy lord. But Satan caused him to forget to mention it to his lord, so he (Joseph) stayed in prison for some years.
وقال للذي ظن أنه ناج منهما اذكرني عند ربك فأنساه الشيطان ذكر ربه فلبث في السجن بضع سنين
Pickthall
And the king said: Lo! I saw in a dream seven fat kine which seven lean were eating, and seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry. O notables! Expound for me my vision, if ye can interpret dreams.
وقال الذي نجا منهما وادكر بعد أمة أنا أنبئكم بتأويله فأرسلون
Pickthall
(And when he came to Joseph in the prison, he exclaimed): Joseph! O thou truthful one! Expound for us the seven fat kine which seven lean were eating and the seven green ears of corn and other (seven) dry, that I may return unto the people, so that they may know.
And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile.
وقال الملك ائتوني به ۖ فلما جاءه الرسول قال ارجع إلى ربك فاسأله ما بال النسوة اللاتي قطعن أيديهن ۚ إن ربي بكيدهن عليم
Pickthall
He (the king) (then sent for those women and) said: What happened when ye asked an evil act of Joseph ? They answered: Allah Blameless! We know no evil of him. Said the wife of the ruler: Now the truth is out. I asked of him an evil act, and he is surely of the truthful.
قال ما خطبكن إذ راودتن يوسف عن نفسه ۚ قلن حاش لله ما علمنا عليه من سوء ۚ قالت امرأت العزيز الآن حصحص الحق أنا راودته عن نفسه وإنه لمن الصادقين
Pickthall
(Then Joseph said: I asked for) this, that he (my lord) may know that I betrayed him not in secret, and that surely Allah guideth not the snare of the betrayers.
۞ وما أبرئ نفسي ۚ إن النفس لأمارة بالسوء إلا ما رحم ربي ۚ إن ربي غفور رحيم
Pickthall
And the king said: Bring him unto me that I may attach him to my person. And when he had talked with him he said: Lo! thou art to - day in our presence established and trusted.
Thus gave We power to Joseph in the land. He was the owner of it where he pleased. We reach with Our mercy whom We will. We lose not the reward of the good.
And when he provided them with their provision he said: Bring unto me a brother of yours from your father. See ye not that I fill up the measure and I am the best of hosts ?
He said unto his young men: Place their merchandise in their saddlebags, so that they may know it when they go back to their folk, and so will come again.
وقال لفتيانه اجعلوا بضاعتهم في رحالهم لعلهم يعرفونها إذا انقلبوا إلى أهلهم لعلهم يرجعون
Pickthall
So when they went back to their father they said: O our father! The measure is denied us, so send with us our brother that we may obtain the measure, surely we will guard him well.
فلما رجعوا إلى أبيهم قالوا يا أبانا منع منا الكيل فأرسل معنا أخانا نكتل وإنا له لحافظون
Pickthall
He said: Can I entrust him to you save as I entrusted his brother to you aforetime ? Allah is better at guarding, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.
قال هل آمنكم عليه إلا كما أمنتكم على أخيه من قبل ۖ فالله خير حافظا ۖ وهو أرحم الراحمين
Pickthall
And when they opened their belongings they discovered that their merchandise had been returned to them. They said: O our father! What (more) can we ask ? Here is our merchandise returned to us. We shall get provision for our folk and guard our brother, and we shall have the extra measure of a camel (load). This (that we bring now) is a light measure.
ولما فتحوا متاعهم وجدوا بضاعتهم ردت إليهم ۖ قالوا يا أبانا ما نبغي ۖ هذه بضاعتنا ردت إلينا ۖ ونمير أهلنا ونحفظ أخانا ونزداد كيل بعير ۖ ذلك كيل يسير
Pickthall
He said: I will not send him with you till ye give me an undertaking in the name of Allah that ye will bring him back to me, unless ye are surrounded. And when they gave him their undertaking he said: Allah is the Warden over what we say.
قال لن أرسله معكم حتى تؤتون موثقا من الله لتأتنني به إلا أن يحاط بكم ۖ فلما آتوه موثقهم قال الله على ما نقول وكيل
Pickthall
And he said: O my sons! Go not in by one gate; go in by different gates. I can naught avail you as against Allah. Lo! the decision rests with Allah only. In Him do I put my trust, and in Him let all the trusting put their trust.
وقال يا بني لا تدخلوا من باب واحد وادخلوا من أبواب متفرقة ۖ وما أغني عنكم من الله من شيء ۖ إن الحكم إلا لله ۖ عليه توكلت ۖ وعليه فليتوكل المتوكلون
Pickthall
And when they entered in the manner which their father had enjoined, it would have naught availed them as against Allah; it was but a need of Jacob's soul which he thus satisfied; and lo! he was a lord of knowledge because We had taught him; but most of mankind know not.
ولما دخلوا على يوسف آوى إليه أخاه ۖ قال إني أنا أخوك فلا تبتئس بما كانوا يعملون
Pickthall
And when he provided them with their provision, he put the drinking - cup in his brother's saddlebag, and then a crier cried: O camel - riders! Lo! ye are surely thieves!
قالوا جزاؤه من وجد في رحله فهو جزاؤه ۚ كذلك نجزي الظالمين
Pickthall
Then he (Joseph) began the search with their bags before his brother's bag, then he produced it from his brother's bag. Thus did We contrive for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother according to the king's law unless Allah willed. We raise by grades (of mercy) whom We will, and over every lord of knowledge there is one more knowing.
فبدأ بأوعيتهم قبل وعاء أخيه ثم استخرجها من وعاء أخيه ۚ كذلك كدنا ليوسف ۖ ما كان ليأخذ أخاه في دين الملك إلا أن يشاء الله ۚ نرفع درجات من نشاء ۗ وفوق كل ذي علم عليم
Pickthall
They said: If he stealeth, a brother of his stole before. But Joseph kept it secret in his soul and revealed it not unto them. He said (within himself): Ye are in worse case, and Allah knoweth best (the truth of) that which ye allege.
قال معاذ الله أن نأخذ إلا من وجدنا متاعنا عنده إنا إذا لظالمون
Pickthall
So, When they despaired of (moving) him, they conferred together apart. The eldest of them said: Know ye not how your father took an undertaking from you in Allah's name and how ye failed in the case of Joseph aforetime ? Therefore I shall not go forth from the land until my father giveth leave or Allah judgeth for me. He is the Best of Judges.
فلما استيأسوا منه خلصوا نجيا ۖ قال كبيرهم ألم تعلموا أن أباكم قد أخذ عليكم موثقا من الله ومن قبل ما فرطتم في يوسف ۖ فلن أبرح الأرض حتى يأذن لي أبي أو يحكم الله لي ۖ وهو خير الحاكمين
Pickthall
Return unto your father and say: O our father! Lo! thy son hath stolen. We testify only to that which we know; we are not guardians of the Unseen.
واسأل القرية التي كنا فيها والعير التي أقبلنا فيها ۖ وإنا لصادقون
Pickthall
(And when they came unto their father and had spoken thus to him) he said: Nay, but your minds have beguiled you into something. (My course is) comely patience! It may be that Allah will bring them all unto me. Lo! He, only He, is the Knower, the Wise.
قال إنما أشكو بثي وحزني إلى الله وأعلم من الله ما لا تعلمون
Pickthall
Go, O my sons, and ascertain concerning Joseph and his brother, and despair not of the Spirit of Allah. Lo! none despaireth of the Spirit of Allah save disbelieving folk.
يا بني اذهبوا فتحسسوا من يوسف وأخيه ولا تيأسوا من روح الله ۖ إنه لا ييأس من روح الله إلا القوم الكافرون
Pickthall
And when they came (again) before him (Joseph) they said: O ruler! Misfortune hath touched us and our folk, and we bring but poor merchandise, so fill for us the measure and be charitable unto us. Lo! Allah will requite the charitable,
They said: Is it indeed thou who art Joseph ? He said: I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah hath shown us favour. Lo! he who wardeth off (evil) and endureth (findeth favour); for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the kindly.
Then, when the bearer of glad tidings came, he laid it on his face and he became a seer once more. He said: Said I not unto you that I know from Allah that which ye know not ?
فلما دخلوا على يوسف آوى إليه أبويه وقال ادخلوا مصر إن شاء الله آمنين
Pickthall
And he placed his parents on the dais and they fell down before him prostrate, and he said: O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream of old. My Lord hath made it true, and He hath shown me kindness, since He took me out of the prison and hath brought you from the desert after Satan had made strife between me and my brethren. Lo! my Lord is tender unto whom He will. He is the Knower, the Wise.
ورفع أبويه على العرش وخروا له سجدا ۖ وقال يا أبت هذا تأويل رؤياي من قبل قد جعلها ربي حقا ۖ وقد أحسن بي إذ أخرجني من السجن وجاء بكم من البدو من بعد أن نزغ الشيطان بيني وبين إخوتي ۚ إن ربي لطيف لما يشاء ۚ إنه هو العليم الحكيم
Pickthall
O my Lord! Thou hast given me (something) of sovereignty and hast taught me (something) of the interpretation of events - Creator of the heavens and the earth! Thou art my Protecting Guardian in the world and the Hereafter. Make me to die muslim (unto Thee), and join me to the righteous.
۞ رب قد آتيتني من الملك وعلمتني من تأويل الأحاديث ۚ فاطر السماوات والأرض أنت وليي في الدنيا والآخرة ۖ توفني مسلما وألحقني بالصالحين
Pickthall
This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee (Muhammad). Thou wast not present with them when they fixed their plan and they were scheming.
قل هذه سبيلي أدعو إلى الله ۚ على بصيرة أنا ومن اتبعني ۖ وسبحان الله وما أنا من المشركين
Pickthall
We sent not before thee (any messengers) save men whom We inspired from among the folk of the townships - Have they not travelled in the land and seen the nature of the consequence for those who were before them ? And verily the abode of the Hereafter, for those who ward off (evil), is best. Have ye then no sense ? -
وما أرسلنا من قبلك إلا رجالا نوحي إليهم من أهل القرى ۗ أفلم يسيروا في الأرض فينظروا كيف كان عاقبة الذين من قبلهم ۗ ولدار الآخرة خير للذين اتقوا ۗ أفلا تعقلون
Pickthall
Till, when the messengers despaired and thought that they were denied, then came unto them Our help, and whom We would was saved. And Our wrath cannot be warded from the guilty.
حتى إذا استيأس الرسل وظنوا أنهم قد كذبوا جاءهم نصرنا فنجي من نشاء ۖ ولا يرد بأسنا عن القوم المجرمين
Pickthall
In their history verily there is a lesson for men of understanding. It is no invented story but a confirmation of the existing (Scripture) and a detailed explanation of everything, and a guidance and a mercy for folk who believe.
