Tafsir
Hadrat Ya'qub 'alaihis-salâm told his sons to go and search for Yusuf and his brothers. When he told them not to give up hope in Allah, they got up and came to Egypt. They entered the presence of Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' and said to Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm': Famine has struck us and our family, that is, we have become unable to work, there is famine and drought everywhere, and we have also been affected by it. Now we have come to you with a paltry capital, weigh us accurately and give us a little tip. So we have presented our situation to you and now you know us a little. Our brother Benjamin is already with you. Give us a little more of the provisions and rations. They say, 'Because Allah rewards those who give alms.
