seemed that it had only been
dipped in blood, and so it was.
Nabi
Ya‘qub [a] knew that it was not
Yusuf’s blood and that the story
about the wolf was a cruel lie. He
turned to his sons and said sternly,
“
This is no more than a story that
you have made up. But I will be
patient, for patience is best.
”
Ya‘qub [a] had been separated from
his beloved little Yusuf. He was very
sad indeed. But he had trust in his
Lord, Allah, and he was patient. He
knew that Allah is the best of
Guardians and Protectors and that
all things ultimately return to Him.
The brothers were at home while
Yusuf was left in the cold, dark well.
They had eaten to their fill and now
slept in their warm beds. But Yusuf
was all alone in the well. He had
neither slept nor eaten.
