Surah 12. Yusuf, Ayah 15
| فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَجْمَعُوا أَنْ يَجْعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَابَتِ الْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمْ بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | fa- lammaa dhahabo bi- -hi wa- ajmaco 'an yajcalo -hu fe ghayaabah al- jubb wa- awh.aynaa 'ilay -hi la- tunabbi'anna -hum bi- 'amr -him haadhaa wa- hum laa yashcuron |
| Pickthall | : | Then, when they led him off, and were of one mind that they should place him in the depth of the pit, We inspired in him: Thou wilt tell them of this deed of theirs when they know (thee) not. |
| Asad | : | And so, when they went away with him, they decided to cast him into the dark depths of the well. And We revealed [this] unto him: "Thou wilt yet remind them of this their deed at a time when they shall not perceive [who thou art]!"16 |
| Malik | : | When after such persistence they were able to take him away, they resolved to throw him into a dark well. We revealed this (to Yusuf) : "A time will come when you will admonish them about this act of theirs, now they do not perceive its consequences." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | So they did take him away and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): "Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not." 1646 1647 |

Note - 1646Allah was with Joseph in all his difficulties, sorrows,
and sufferings, as He is with all His servants who put
their trust in Him. The poor lad was betrayed by his
brothers, and left, perhaps to die or to be sold into
slavery. But his heart was undaunted. His courage never
failed him. On the contrary he had an inkling, a
presentiment, of things that were to be-that his own
rectitude and beauty of soul would land him on his feet,
and perhaps some day, his brothers would stand in need of
him, and he would be in a position to fulfil that need,
and would do it gladly, putting them, to shame for their
present plotting and betrayal of him.

Note - 1647This situation actually occurred when Joseph later on
became the govenor of Egypt and his brothers stood before
him suing for his assistance although they did not know
that he was their betrayed brother; see xii. 89 below;
also xii. 58.
