The Holy Quran 12:77 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

۞ قَالُوٓا۟ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَانًا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ

Translation

(In their anger,) They (the brothers) said, "If he has stolen then surely his brother before him (Yusuf) must have also stolen." Yusuf concealed this (accusation) in his heart and did not disclose it to them (he did not falsify what they said). He said (to himself), "You are worse off (because you stole a son from his father). (Nevertheless) Allaah knows best what you speak (and He will take you to task for it)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قال إخوة يوسف: إنْ سرق هذا فقد سرق أخ شقيق له من قبل (يقصدون يوسف عليه السلام) فأخفى يوسف في نفسه ما سمعه، وحدَّث نفسه قائلا أنتم أسوأ منزلة ممن ذكرتم، حيث دبَّرتم لي ما كان منكم، والله أعلم بما تصفون من الكذب والافتراء.
