Tafsir

Scholarly commentary explaining a verse — its context, its meaning and how the scholars have understood it.

Yusuf 12:17

Word by word

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَـٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَـٰدِقِينَ

They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn Kathir

وقالوا معتذرين عما وقع فيما زعموا : ( إنا ذهبنا نستبق ) أي : نترامى ، ( وتركنا يوسف عند متاعنا ) أي : ثيابنا وأمتعتنا ، ( فأكله الذئب ) وهو الذي كان [ قد ] جزع منه ، وحذر عليه .وقولهم : ( وما أنت بمؤمن لنا ولو كنا صادقين ) تلطف عظيم في تقرير ما يحاولونه ، يقولون : ونحن نعلم أنك لا تصدقنا - والحالة هذه - لو كنا عندك صادقين ، فكيف وأنت تتهمنا في ذلك ، لأنك خشيت أن يأكله الذئب ، فأكله الذئب ، فأنت معذور في تكذيبك لنا; لغرابة ما وقع وعجيب ما اتفق لنا في أمرنا هذا .
