Aaya: 89

قَالَ هَلۡ عَلِمۡتُم مَّا فَعَلۡتُم بِيُوسُفَ وَأَخِيهِ إِذۡ أَنتُمۡ جَٰهِلُونَ

(89) He said: “Do you know what you did to Yūsuf and his brother when you were ˹still˺ ignorant?^[2814]”

[2814] This beautifully brings to light the magnanimous nature of Prophet Joseph (عليه السلام). Nasty as the brothers were to him and his brother, he provided them with a face-saving excuse by saying that they were jāhilūn (lit. ignorant) when they did what they did (cf. al-Saʿdī). The extent of Joseph’s spirit of forgiveness is shown in full colour in this passage.
