Surah Yusuf — Ayah 59 (12:59)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And when he had furnished them with their supplies, he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father.¹ Do you not see that I give full measure and that I am the best of accommodators?

1. - i.e., Benjamin, who had been kept at home by his father Jacob.

Brief commentary

When he had given them the supplies and provisions they came for, and after they had informed him that they had a brother on their father’s side who they had left with their father, Joseph asked them to bring their brother on their father’s side and he would give them more supplies. He asked them if they did not see that he gave full measure, not subtracting from it at all, and that he was the best of hosts.
