Y: "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."
P: Go, O my sons, and ascertain concerning Joseph and his brother, and despair not of the Spirit of Allah. Lo! none despaireth of the Spirit of Allah save disbelieving folk.
S: O my sons! Go and inquire respecting Yusuf and his brother, and despair not of Allah's mercy; surely none despairs of Allah's mercy except the unbelieving people.
012.088 Y: 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."
P: And when they came (again) before him (Joseph) they said: O ruler!
Misfortune hath touched us and our folk, and we bring but poor
merchandise, so fill for us the measure and be charitable unto us. Lo!
Allah will requite the charitable,
S: So when they came in to him, they said: O chief! distress has afflicted us and our family and we have brought scanty money, so give us full measure and be charitable to us; surely Allah rewards the charitable.

P: He said: Know ye what ye did unto Joseph and his brother in your ignorance?
S: He said: Do you know how you treated Yusuf and his brother when you were ignorant?
012.090 Y: 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."
