Tafsir

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

Yusuf 12:64

Word by word

قَالَ هَلْ ءَامَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ فَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَـٰفِظًا ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allāh is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."

قال لهم أبوهم: كيف آمنكم على «بنيامين» وقد أمنتكم على أخيه يوسف من قبل، والتزمتم بحفظه فلم تفوا بذلك؟ فلا أثق بالتزامكم وحفظكم، ولكني أثق بحفظ الله، خير الحافظين وأرحم الراحمين، أرجو أن يرحمني فيحفظه ويرده عليَّ.
