آیه: 9

ٱقۡتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطۡرَحُوهُ أَرۡضٗا يَخۡلُ لَكُمۡ وَجۡهُ أَبِيكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا صَٰلِحِينَ

(9) “Kill Yūsuf or cast him away in a ˹faraway˺ land and your father’s face^[2674] will be all yours and you shall be after him good doing folks!^[2675]”

[2674] Metonymically used to mean his undivided attention (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
[2675] They either meant to morally justify (cf. al-Saʿdī, Fawā’id Mustanbaṭah min Qiṣṣati Yūsuf ʿAlayhi al-Salām, p. 20) their grievous wrongdoing and encourage themselves to it by reminding themselves that they would repent thereafter and abstain from doing further evil (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr) and/or worldly justify it by being better off after they got rid of this most irksome issue (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
