Q 12:79

They said: "O 'Aziz! Verily, he has an old father (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place. Indeed we think that you are one of the doers of good. (78)He said: "Allah forbid, that we should take anyone but him with whom we found our property. Indeed (if we did so), we should be wrongdoers. (79) Yusuf's Brothers offer taking One of Them instead of Binyamin as a Slave, Yusuf rejects the Offer When it was decided that Benyamin was to be taken and kept with Yusuf according to the law they adhered by, Yusuf's brothers started requesting clemency and raising compassion in his heart for them, قَالُوا يَا أَيُّهَا الْعَزِيزُ إِنَّ لَهُ أَبًا شَيْخًا كَبِيرًا (They said, "O 'Aziz! Verily, he has an old father...") who loves him very much and is comforted by his presence from the son that he lost, فَخُذْ أَحَدَنَا مَكَانَهُ (so take one of us in his place.), instead of Binyamin to remain with you, إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ (Indeed we think that you are one of the doers of good.), the good doers, just, and accepting fairness, قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَاعَنَا عِندَهُ (He said: "Allah forbid, that we should take anyone but him with whom we found our property..."), 'according to the judgement that you gave for his punishment, إِنَّا إِذًا لَّظَالِمُونَ (Indeed, we should be wrongdoers.), if we take an innocent man instead of the guilty man.'
