Verset: 62

وَقَالَ لِفِتۡيَٰنِهِ ٱجۡعَلُواْ بِضَٰعَتَهُمۡ فِي رِحَالِهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَعۡرِفُونَهَآ إِذَا ٱنقَلَبُوٓاْ إِلَىٰٓ أَهۡلِهِمۡ لَعَلَّهُمۡ يَرۡجِعُونَ

(62) He said to his servants: “Place their commodities in their saddlebags so that they may know them when they return back to their people. Perhaps they may return”. ^[2769]

[2769] Besides enticement and threat, Joseph (عليه السلام) wanted to make especially sure that they would be encouraged to return with the half-brother so he ordered his men to secretly place the commodities his brothers had brought with them in exchange for supplies back in their baggage. He wanted them to realize how generous and magnanimous he was to them this first time so that they would be tempted to return (cf. al-Tafsīr al-Muyassar). Doing so, he wanted to expedite this return by giving them their commodities back, which they would then seek to exchange for more supplies, and this sooner rather than later (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
