Yusuf 82: (If you desire,) ask the (people of the) city we are in and ask the caravan with whom we came. We truly say the truth.”

A. Metin Saruhan · 15 June 2017 · Yusuf

Translation

(If you desire,) ask the (people of the) city we are in and ask the caravan with whom we came. We truly say the truth.”

Tafsir

O our father, if you do not believe us, ask the people of the city we are in.

The people of Egypt are witnesses to this. Even ask the caravan among whom we came. Believe that we are telling the truth.

Of course, it will not be easy to break this news to their fathers. Surely they will feel ashamed and difficult because of the promise they had made to their fathers and because they had made Allah a witness between them. And so they get up and leave to come to their father. They left their older brother in Egypt.

What is said in the video

Yes, in verse 82 as well: if you wish, ask the city we were in, the people of Egypt, and the caravan we came with. We are truly telling the truth, it says. O our father, if you do not believe us, ask, if you wish, the people of the city we were in. Yes.

This incident, Egypt — the people of Egypt are also witnesses to this incident. Even ask the caravan we came with. Believe this: we are truly telling the truth. Of course, giving this news to their father will not be easy. Surely, because of the promise they gave their father and because they took Allah as witness between them, they will be both ashamed and in difficulty before their father. And so they set out to go to their father, and their eldest brother they leave in Egypt.
