Surah Yusuf — Ayah 94 (12:94)

English translation (Saheeh International)

And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said,¹ "Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind."

Brief commentary

And when the caravan left, departing from Egypt and leaving the inhabited area, Jacob, peace be upon him, said to his people and those with him where he lived, that he could smell the scent of Joseph, although they might say he was foolish and an old senile man who doesn’t know what he says.
