And thus We 56. established Yusuf in the land to settle therein wherever he willed. We bestow Our Mercy on whom We will. And We do not let go waste the reward of the gooddoers. 57. And surely the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believe and are God conscious.
And the brothers of 58. Yusuf came, and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown. 59. And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, `Bring to me a brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I give full measure, and that I am the best of the hosts?

So when they 63. returned to their father, they said, `O our father! Measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother that we will be given measure.

They said, `By Allah, certainly you know that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we are not thieves.` 74. They said, `Then what will be the recompense for it if you are liars.`
75. They (the brothers) said, `Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found, he (himself) will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers.` So he began (to 76. search) with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he brought it out from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Yusuf. He could not have taken his brother within the law of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is the All-Knower.

And the brothers of 58. Yusuf came, and they entered upon him; and he recognized them, but he was to them unknown. 59. And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, `Bring to me a brother of yours from your father. Do you not see that I give full measure, and that I am the best of the hosts?

62. And he (Yusuf) said to his servants, `Put their merchandise in their saddlebags so that they may recognize it when they go back to their people so that they may return.`
So when they 63. returned to their father, they said, `O our father! Measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother that we will be given measure.

And he said, `O my sons! Do not enter from one gate but enter from different gates. And I cannot avail you against (the decree of) Allah at all.

They said, `By Allah, certainly you know that we did not come to cause corruption in the land, and we are not thieves.` 74. They said, `Then what will be the recompense for it if you are liars.`
75. They (the brothers) said, `Its recompense is that he in whose bag it is found, he (himself) will be its recompense. Thus do we recompense the wrongdoers.` So he began (to 76. search) with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he brought it out from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Yusuf. He could not have taken his brother within the law of the king except that Allah willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is the All-Knower.

And those who disbelieve do not cease to be struck, for what they have done, by calamity - or it will settle close to their homes - until comes the Promise of Allah.
