Surah Yusuf · Ayah 76·Makkī

76

ثُمَّ مِن كَذَٰلِكَ لِيُوسُفَ مَا فِى إِلَّآ أَن مَّن ذِى ﴿٧٦﴾

Translation

Saheeh International

So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.
