Q 12:11

Traductions
Ils dirent: «O notre père, qu'as-tu à ne pas te fier à nous au sujet de Joseph? Nous sommes cependant bien intentionnés à son égard.They said, "O our father, why do you not entrust us with Joseph while indeed, we are to him sincere counselors?Tafsir
Après s’être enfin accordés à l’éloigner au lieu de le tuer, les frères dirent à leur père Jacob: Ô notre père, pourquoi ne nous confies-tu pas Joseph? Nous éprouvons cependant de la compassion pour lui, le protégeons contre ce qui le menace et lui prodiguons de bons conseils afin qu’il puisse se préserver et retourner sain et sauf auprès de toi. Quelle est donc la raison qui te retient de le laisser venir avec nous?
Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
They said: "O our father! Why do you not trust us with Yusuf though we are indeed his well-wishers? (11)"Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and verily, we will take care of him. (12)
Yusuf's Brothers ask for Their Father's Permission to take Yusuf with Them
When Yusuf's brothers agreed to take him and throw him down the well, taking the advice of their elder brother Rubil, they went to their father Ya'qub, peace be upon him. They said to him, "Why is it that you,
لَا تَأْمَنَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَنَاصِحُونَ
(do not trust us with Yusuf though we are indeed his well-wishers?)." They started executing their plan by this introductory statement, even though they really intended its opposite, out of envy towards Yusuf for being loved by his father. They said,
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا
"(Send him with us) tomorrow so that we all enjoy ourselves and play." Qatadah, Ad-Dahhak and As-Suddi said similarly. Yusuf's brothers said next,
وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَ
(and verily, we will take care of him.), we will protect him and ensure his safety for you.
