Vers: 13

قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحۡزُنُنِيٓ أَن تَذۡهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأۡكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئۡبُ وَأَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ غَٰفِلُونَ

(13) He said: “Indeed it saddens me that you would take him away^[2679], and I fear that some wolf would eat him while you are unaware of him!”

[2679] This he said in order to discourage them from taking their brother away, knowing that good sons, as they were, won’t do anything that causes a parent sadness (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). But they were so bent on their course of action that they did not give such a nicety much attention.
