Yusuf (Alaihis Salaam) Seeking Refuge from Being Unjust
Reading Time: < 1 minute
It was said to Yusuf (Alaihis Salaam) [by his brothers when the ‘lost goblet’ was found in Binyaameen’s luggage]: “Take one of us instead of him (Binyaameen).”
He (Yusuf Alaihis Salaam) exclaimed:
مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ أَنْ نَّاْخُذَ إِلَّا مَنْ وَّجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِنْدَهٗ
“Allah forbid we take anyone besides the person by whom we found our property!” [Surah Yusuf, 79]
Allah Ta’ala thus honoured him [Yusuf Alaihis Salaam], saying: “He (Yusuf Alaihis Salaam) raised them (his parents) onto the throne, and they (his brothers) fell into prostration before him.”
