َلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا بِهِ وَأَجْمَعُوا أَنْ یَجْعَلُوهُ فِی غَیَابَةِ الْجُبِّ وَأَوْحَیْنَا إِلَیْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمْ بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَذَا وَهُمْ لاَ یَشْعُرُونَ (( 15 ))

15- THEN WHEN THEY WENT OUT WITH HIM, AND AGREED TO PUT HIM IN THE LEDGE OF A WELL, AND WE INSPIRED TO HIM THAT YOU WILL INFORM THEM OF THIS THEIR AFFAIR, WHILE THEY KNOW NOT.

وَجَاءُوا أَبَاهُمْ عِشَاءً یَبْکُونَ(( 16 ))

16- AND THEY CAME TO THEIR FATHER AT THE NIGHT FALL WEEPING!

قَالُوا یَا أَبَانَا إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَکْنَا یُوسُفَ عِنْدَ مَتَاعِنَا فَأَکَلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَمَا أَنْتَ بِمُؤْمِن لَنَا وَلَوْ کُنَّا صَادِقِینَ(( 17 ))

17- THEY SAID:ِ ``O, OUR FATHER! WE WENT RACING AND LEFT JOSEPH WITH OUR GOODS, AND A WOLF DEVOURED HIM; AND YOU WILL NOT BELIEVE US EVEN THOUGH WE SAY THE TRUTH.''

وَجَاءُوا عَلَى قَمِیصِهِ بِدَم کَذِب قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَکُمْ أَنفُسُکُمْ أَمْراً فَصَبْرٌ جَمِیلٌ وَاللهُ الْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَى مَا تَصِفُونَ(( 18 ))

18- AND THEY BROUGHT HIS SHIRT (POLLUTED WITH) FALSE BLOOD! HE SAID:ِ (IT IS NOT SO AS YOU SAY) ``RATHER YOUR CAPRICES HAVE TEMPTED YOU TO SOME EVIL DEEDS. (FOR ME IN SUCH A HARD CASE) PATIENCE IS THE BEST, AND ALLAH IS HELPFUL IN THAT WHICH YOU DESCRIBE.''
