Surah Yusuf Ayah 68

Yusuf · Ayah 68 · Juz 13 · Page 243

وَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ مِنۡ حَيۡثُ أَمَرَهُمۡ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغۡنِي عَنۡهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَيۡءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةٗ فِي نَفۡسِ يَعۡقُوبَ قَضَىٰهَاۚ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلۡمٖ لِّمَا عَلَّمۡنَٰهُ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٦٨

Wa lammā dakhalū min ḥaythu amarahum abūhum mā kāna yughnī ʿanhum minallāhi min shayʾin illā ḥājatan fī nafsi yaʿqūba qaḍāhā, wa innahū ladhū ʿilmil limā ʿallamnāhu wa lākinna aktharan-nāsi lā yaʿlamūn.

And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allāh at all except [it was] a need [i.e., concern] within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.
