Sourate Yusuf · سُوْرَةُ يُوسُفَ · Juz 13
Q 12:79
قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِ أَن نَّأْخُذَ إِلَّا مَن وَجَدْنَا مَتَـٰعَنَا عِندَهُۥٓ إِنَّآ إِذًا لَّظَـٰلِمُونَ
Traductions
- Il dit: «Qu'Allah nous garde de prendre un autre que celui chez qui nous avons trouvé notre bien! Nous serions alors vraiment injustes.»He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah [to prevent] that we take except him with whom we found our possession. Indeed, we would then be unjust."Tafsir
Joseph se défendit de cela en disant: Qu’Allah nous garde de commettre une injustice en punissant un innocent d’un crime qu’il n’a pas commis. Si nous réduisons en esclavage quelqu’un d’autre que celui qui a volé le boisseau du roi, nous serions alors injustes, car nous punirions un innocent et laisserions libre un coupable.

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.'
