Sura Yusuf from 79 to 86


79. He said: « Allâh forbid, that we should take anyone but him with whom we found our property. Indeed ( if we did so ) , we should be Zâlimûn ( wrong- doers ) . »
80. So, when they despaired of him, they held a conference in private. The eldest among them said: « Know you not that your father did take an oath from you in Allâh’s Name, and before this you did fail in your duty with Yûsuf ( Joseph ) ? Therefore I will not leave this land until my father permits me, or Allâh decides my case ( by releasing Benjamin ) and He is the Best of the judges.»
81. « Return to your father and say, ‘O our father! Verily, your son ( Benjamin ) has stolen, and we testify not except according to what we know, and we could not know the Unseen!»
82. « And ask ( the people of ) the town where we have been, and the caravan in which we returned; and indeed we are telling the truth. »
83. He [ Ya‘qûb ( Jacob ) ] said: « Nay, but your ownselves have beguiled you into something. So patience is most fitting ( for me ) . May be Allâh will bring them ( back ) all to me. Truly He! Only He is All- Knowing, All- Wise. »
84. And he turned away from them and said: « Alas, my grief for Yûsuf ( Joseph ) ! » And he lost his sight because of the sorrow that he was suppressing.
85. They said: « By Allâh! You will never cease remembering Yûsuf ( Joseph ) until you become weak with old age, or until you be of the dead. »
86. He said: « I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allâh, and I know from Allâh that which you know not.»
