He said: O my dear son! Tell not thy brethren of thy vision, lest they plot a plot against thee. Lo! Satan is for man an open foe

Thus thy Lord will prefer thee and will teach thee the interpretation of events, and will perfect His grace upon thee and upon the family of Jacob as He perfected it upon thy forefathers, Abraham and Isaac. Lo! thy Lord is Knower, Wise

Verily in Joseph and his brethren are signs (of Allah's Sovereignty) for the inquiring

When they said: Verily Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, many though we be. Lo! our father is in plain aberration

(One said): Kill Joseph or cast him to some (other) land, so that your father's favour may be all for you, and (that) ye may afterward be righteous folk

One among them said: Kill not Joseph but, if ye must be doing, fling him into the depth of the pit; some caravan will find him

They said: O our father! Why wilt thou not trust us with Joseph, when lo! we are good friends to him

Send him with us to-morrow that he may enjoy himself and play. And lo! we shall take good care of him

He said: Lo! in truth it saddens me that ye should take him with you, and I fear less the wolf devour him while ye are heedless of him

They said: If the wolf should devour him when we are (so strong) a band, then surely we should have already perished
