They said: "By Allah! (never) wilt thou cease to remember Joseph until thou reach the last extremity of illness, or until
thou die!"
12:86
He said: "I only complain of my distraction and anguish to Allah, and I know from Allah that which ye know not...
12:87
"O my sons! go ye and enquire about Joseph and his brother, and never give up hope of Allah's Soothing Mercy: truly
no one despairs of Allah's Soothing Mercy, except those who have no faith."
12:88
Then, when they came (back) into (Joseph's) presence they said: "O exalted one! distress has seized us and our family:
we have (now) brought but scanty capital: so pay us full measure, (we pray thee), and treat it as charity to us: for Allah
doth reward the charitable."
12:89
He said: "Know ye how ye dealt with Joseph and his brother, not knowing (what ye were doing)."
12:90
They said: "Art thou indeed Joseph." He said, "I am Joseph, and this is my brother: Allah has indeed been gracious to
us (all): behold, he that is righteous and patient,- never will Allah suffer the reward to be lost, of those who do right."
12:91
They said: "By Allah! indeed has Allah preferred thee above us, and we certainly have been guilty of sin!"
12:92
He said: "This day let no reproach be (cast) on you: Allah will forgive you, and He is the Most Merciful of those who
show mercy!
