Sura Yusuf from 64 to 69


64. He said: « Can I entrust him to you except as I entrusted his brother [ Yûsuf ( Joseph ) ] to you aforetime? But Allâh is the Best to guard, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. »
65. And when they opened their bags, they found their money had been returned to them. They said: « O our father! What ( more ) can we desire? This, our money has been returned to us; so we shall get ( more ) food for our family, and we shall guard our brother and add one more measure of a camel’s load. This quantity is easy ( for the king to give ) . »
66. He [ Ya‘qûb ( Jacob ) ] said: « I will not send him with you until you swear a solemn oath to me in Allâh’s Name, that you will bring him back to me unless you are yourselves surrounded ( by enemies ) , » And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: « Allâh is the Witness to what we have said. »
67. And he said: « O my sons! Do not enter by one gate, but enter by different gates, and I cannot avail you against Allâh at all. Verily! The decision rests only with Allâh. In Him, I put my trust and let all those that trust, put their trust in Him. » [ 1 ]
68. And when they entered according to their father’s advice, it did not avail them in the least against ( the Will of ) Allâh; it was but a need of Ya‘qûb’s ( Jacob ) inner- self which he discharged. And verily, he was endowed with knowledge because We had taught him, but most men know not.
69. And when they went in before Yûsuf ( Joseph ) , he took his brother ( Benjamin ) to himself and said: « Verily! I am your brother, so grieve not for what they used to do. »

[1] (V.12:67).
a ) Narrated Ibn ‘Abbâs ( raa ) : Allâh’s Messenger ( saas ) said, « Seventy thousand people of my followers will enter Paradise without account, and they are those who do not practise Ar- Ruqyah and do not see an evil omen in things, and put their trust in their Lord. » ( Sahih Al- Bukhari, Vol.8, Hadith No. 479 )
Ar- Ruqyah: See the glossary.
b ) Narrated Abu Hurairah ( raa ) : The Prophet ( saas ) said, « An Israeli man asked another Israeli to lend him one thousand dinars. The second man required witnesses. The former replied, ‘Allâh is Sufficient as a witness.’ The second said, ‘I want a surety.’ The former replied, ‘Allâh is Sufficient as a Surety.’ The second said, ‘You are right’ and lent him the money for a certain period. The debtor went across the sea. When he finished his job, he searched for a conveyance so that he might reach in time for the repayment of the debt, but he could not find any. So, he took a piece of wood and made a hole in it, inserted in it one thousand dinars and a letter to the lender and then closed ( i.e. sealed ) the hole tightly. He took the piece of wood to the sea and said. ‘O Allâh! You know well that I took a loan of one thousand dinars from so- and- so. He demanded a surety from me but I told him that Allâh’s Guarantee was sufficient and he accepted Your Guarantee. He then asked for a witness and I told him that Allâh was sufficient as a Witness, and he accepted You as a Witness. No doubt, I have tried hard to find a conveyance so that I could pay his money back but could not find, so I hand over this money to You.’ Saying that, he threw the piece of wood into the sea till it went out far into it, and then he went away. Meanwhile he started searching for a conveyance in order to reach the creditor’s country. One day the lender came out of his house to see whether a ship had arrived bringing his money, and all of a sudden he saw the piece of wood ( in which his money had been deposited ) . He took it home to use for fire. When he sawed it, he found his money and the letter inside it. Shortly after that, the debtor came bringing one thousand dinars to him and said, ‘By Allâh, I had been trying hard to get a boat so that I could bring you your money, but failed to get one before the one I have come by.’ The lender asked, ‘Have you sent something to me?’ The debtor replied, ‘I have told you I could not get a boat other than the one I have come by.’»
The lender said, ‘Allâh has delivered on your behalf the money you sent in the piece of wood. So, you may keep your one thousand dinars and depart guided on the Right Path.’ « »
