Surah Yusuf — 12:60
Sign in to save
فَإِن لَّمۡ تَأۡتُونِي بِهِۦ فَلَا كَيۡلَ لَكُمۡ عِندِي وَلَا تَقۡرَبُونِ
But if you do not bring him to me ˹next time˺, I will have no grain for you, nor will you ever come close to me again.”
Commentary
Joseph told them that if they did not bring the brother asked for, then it would be clear that they were not telling the truth in their claim that they had a brother on their father’s side. He told them that in that case he would not give them any measure of food, and they should not approach his country.
