(64) He said: “Shall I entrust you with him only as I entrusted you with his brother before! Allah is a better Guard[2772]; He is the Most Merciful of all the merciful!”[2773]
[2772] That he told them that God is the best Guard has led exegetes to consider this as an indication of a softer position taken by Jacob (عليه السلام) on the issue (cf. al-Rāzī, al-Alūsī). Thus his sons did not persist in their request (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). [2773] That is, God Knows how old and bereaved I, Jacob, am that He will undoubtedly have Mercy on me and protect my son and return him to me (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Saʿdī).
(65) When they opened their saddlebags, they found their commodities returned to them! They said: “O father, what more could we want! Our commodities have been returned to us, we ˹can further˺ cater for our households, protect our brother[2774] and we get a camel’s load ˹of provision˺ more![2775] That is an easy measure ˹of provision to get by[2776]˺!”
[2774] They pointed this out to further cajole and assure their father of their good intentions (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). [2775] That is, their half-brother’s share (cf. al-Baghawī). [2776] That is, given Joseph’s, the Chief Minister of Egypt, overwhelming generosity (cf. al-Zajjāj, al-Wāḥidī, al-Khāzin).
(66) He said: “I shall not send him with you unless you give me a pledge by Allah that you shall bring him ˹back˺ to me unless you are surrounded![2777]” When they gave him their pledge, he said: “Allah is Keeper over what we say!”
[2777] That is, in the face of overpowering circumstances that would prevent them from fulfilling their contract with him; a force majeure (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr).
(67) [2778]He ˹Yaʿqūb˺ said: “My sons, do not enter ˹the town together˺ from one gate, but enter ˹it˺ from separate gates![2779] I can ward off from you naught coming from Allah[2780]. Verily the decision is for none but Allah; in Him I put my trust and in Him shall the trusting put their trust”.
[2778] In this passage, one finds a very edifying note. Along with putting one’s trust fully in God, one nonetheless needs to take precautions (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr, al-Qurṭubī). [2779] Most exegetes perceive that he bade his sons so because he feared the evil eye for them (cf. al-Samʿānī, al-Rāzī). They were an eleven-strong, very handsome bunch of men (cf. al-Qurṭubī). ʿAbdullāh Ibn ʿAbbās (رضي الله عنهما) narrated that the Messenger (ﷺ) said: “The evil eye is true. If anything was to come faster than ˹God’s˺ decree, it is the evil eye” (Muslim: 2188). [2780] This is just a precaution, a fatherly direction. What God decrees, however, will surely come to pass no matter how careful the person is (cf. al-Ṭabarī, Ibn Kathīr).
(68) When they entered whereupon their father bade them, that would not have availed them to naught against Allah, except it being a matter in Yaʿqūb’s ˹innermost˺ self that he fulfilled. He was indeed knowledgeable as We had made him know[2781]; but most people know not![2782]
[2781] This is a laudation by God about Prophet Jacob (عليه السلام) for practically demonstrating his knowledge and thereby directing his sons to the course of action (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). [2782] Most people are oblivious of the fact that matters need both sincere trust in God and careful preparation (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). Such neglect results from either lack of faith or mistaken beliefs.
(69) When they entered upon Yūsuf, he drew his brother close to him. ˹And˺ He said: “I am indeed your brother; do not feel ˹anymore˺ miserable because of what they used to do”.[2783]
[2783] By privately conversing with his brother, Joseph (عليه السلام) sent him an assuring note about both his identity and also information to prepare him for what was to unfold next (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
