Sorrow and love rose up in the
heart of
Nabi
Yusuf [a]. He could no
longer bear to listen to the sons of
his own father pleading for charity,
and complaining about their poverty
and suffering to the king of Egypt,
the king of a disbelieving people!
He thought to himself, “
How long
can I conceal the truth from them
while they are in need? How much
longer can I go on without seeing
my father?
”
Nabi
Yusuf [a] called out to them,
“
Do you know what you did to Yusuf
and his brother?
”
They were astounded. The brothers
knew that this was a secret known
only to themselves and to Yusuf.
