Tafsir

When the brothers of Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' returned to their father, they told him what had happened to them. O our father: We told the honorable person who gave us the provisions that we had another brother, so the honorable person believed our words. He gave us a camel load of food and provisions for our brother Benjamin. He said to us: If you do not bring this brother of yours the next time you come here, do not come to me and do not expect any help from me. He says, "You will not be given any more provisions.

Send our brother Bünyamin with us so that we can prove to this honorable person that what we say is true. By lifting the ban on us and showing that we are among the truthful ones, they say, let us take our commands again.
