keeps his duty and is patient — Allāh never wastes the reward of the doers of good.

91 They said: By Allāh! Allāh has indeed chosen thee over us, and we were certainly sinners.

92 He said: No reproof be against you this day. Allāh may forgive you, and He is the most Merciful of those who show mercy.

93 Take this my shirt and cast it before my father’s face — he will come to know. And come to me with all your family.

94 And when the caravan left (Egypt), their father said: Surely I scent (the power of) Joseph, if you call me not a dotard.

95 They said: By Allāh! thou art surely in thy old error.

96 Then when the bearer of good news came, he cast it before his face so he became certain. He said: Did I not say to you that I know from Allāh what you know not?

97 They said: O our father, ask forgiveness of our sins for us, surely we are sinners.

98 He said: I shall ask forgiveness for you of my Lord. Surely He is the Forgiving, the Merciful.

99 Then when they went in to Joseph, he lodged his parents with himself and said: Enter Egypt in safety, if Allāh please.

100 And he raised his parents on the throne, and they fell prostrate for his sake. And he said: O my father, this is the significance of my vision of old — my Lord has made it true. And He was indeed kind to me, when He brought me forth from the prison, and brought you from the desert after the devil had sown dissensions between me and my brethren. Surely my Lord is Benignant to whom He pleases. Truly He is the Knowing, the Wise.

101 My Lord, Thou hast given me of the kingdom and taught me of the interpretation of sayings. Originator of the heavens and the earth, Thou art my Friend in this world and the Hereafter. Make me die in submission and join me with the righteous.

102 This is of the announcements relating to the unseen (which) We reveal to thee, and thou wast not with them when they resolved upon their affair, and they were devising plans.
