فقال يعقوب...

فقال يعقوب: إِنِّي لَيَحْزُنُنِي أَنْ تَذْهَبُوا بِهِ وَ أَخافُ أَنْ يَأْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَ أَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ غافِلُونَ فانتزعه حذرا عليه من أن تكون البلوى من الله عز و جل على يعقوب في يوسف خاصة لموقعه من قلبه و حبه له So, during that, they said, ‘O our father! What is the matter with you that you do not trust us with Yusuf, and we are his well-wishers? [12:11] Send him with us tomorrow. He will enjoy and play, and we would be his protectors’ [12:12] .

So Yaqoub -as said: ‘It grieves me that you would go with him and I fear that the wolf devours him while you are heedless from him’ [12:13] . Thus, he -as was grabbed by the caution upon him -as from it happening to be the affliction from Allah -azwj Mighty and Majestic over Yaqoub -as regarding Yusuf -as in particular due to its occurrence from his -as hear and his -as love for him -as .

قال: «فغلبت قدرة الله و قضاؤه و نافذ أمره في يعقوب و يوسف و إخوته، فلم يقدر يعقوب على دفع البلاء عن نفسه، و لا عن يوسف و ولده، فدفعه إليهم و هو لذلك كاره متوقع للبلوى من الله في يوسف He -asws said: ‘But the Ordainment of Allah -azwj and His -azwj Decree Overcame and His -azwj Command was Established regarding Yaqoub -as and Yusuf -as and his -as brothers, and Yaqoub -as did not have the ability to defend himself -as against the affliction, nor from Yusuf -as and his -as sons.

So, he -as handed him -as over to them, and he -as disliked that the affliction from Allah -azwj should Occur with regards to Yusuf -as . فلما خرجوا من منزلهم لحقهم مسرعا فانتزعه من أيديهم و ضمه إليه و اعتنقه و بكى و دفعه إليهم، فانطلقوا به مسرعين مخافة أن يأخذه منهم و لا يدفعه إليهم When they went out from their house, he -as dashed towards them and snatched him -as back from their hands, and embraced him -as and cried and then handed him -as back to them.

Then he -as dashed towards them again, but he -as feared to take him -as back from them, or to hand him -as over to them. فلما أمعنوا به أتوا به غيضة أشجار، فقالوا: نذبحه و نلقيه تحت هذه الشجرة فيأكله الذئب الليلة.

فقال كبيرهم: لا تَقْتُلُوا يُوسُفَ و لكن أَلْقُوهُ فِي غَيابَتِ الْجُبِّ يَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّيَّارَةِ إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فاعِلِينَ So, when they were distant with him -as , they came over to an orchard of fruit trees and they said, ‘We should slaughter him -as and throw him -as underneath this tree, so the wolf would eat him -as up during the night’.
