Commentary

 

If Joseph (peace be upon him) were irascible like His brothers, He would have beaten them unmannerly. At that time, He (peace be upon him) was performing as a ruler and was able to get them punished in accordance with own will. But His foresight and patience worked here also as usual. Beholding this, His brothers began to flatter and said: in fact; his (Binyamin’s) father is very aged and weak. So kindly! Take any one of us instead of him and let him go.

 

Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) said: Allah Almighty protect Me from such injustice. How can I arrest lawfully any other than he, from whom the stolen property has been recovered? If I did so, I would be counted in wrongdoers, and breaking of law would be written in My name.
