My Lord has knowledge of their cunning guile.’ ### Progressive Muslims And the King said: "Bring him to me. " So when the messenger came to him, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him what was the matter regarding the women that cut their hands My Lord is well aware of their scheming." ### Shabbir Ahmed And the King said, "Bring him before me!" When the courier came to Joseph, he said, "Return to your King and ask him to find out the case of the women who marked their hands. Verily, my Lord knows their plot." (Joseph asked for investigation before being released, to vindicate his character). ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation And the King said: “Bring him to me!” But when the messenger came to him, he said: “Return thou to thy lord, and ask him what is the state of the women who cut their hands; my Lord knows of their plan.” ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation Andthe king said: "Bring him to me." So when the messenger came to him, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him what was the matter regarding the women who cut their hands? Indeed, my Lord is aware of their plans." ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament The king said, "Bring him to me." When the messenger came to him, he said, "Go back to your lord and ask him to investigate the women who cut their hands. My Lord is fully aware of their schemes." ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira The king said: "Bring him to me. So when the messenger came to Joseph, he said: "Go back to your lord and ask him: 'How fare the women who had cut their hands?' My Lord is cognisant of their guile." ### Sahih International — (Umm Muhammad, Mary Kennedy, Amatullah Bantley) And the king said, "Bring him to me. " But when the messenger came to him, [Joseph] said, "Return to your master and ask him what is the case of the women who cut their hands. Indeed, my Lord is Knowing of their plan." ### Muhammad Asad And [as soon as Joseph's interpretation. was conveyed to him, ] the King said: "Bring him before me!" But when the [King's] messenger came unto him, [Joseph] said: "Go back to thy lord and ask him [first to find out the truth] about those women who cut their hands-for, behold, [until now it is] my Sustainer [alone who] has full knowledge of their guile!" ### Marmaduke Pickthall And the king said: Bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto him, he (Joseph) said: Return unto thy lord and ask him what was the case of the women who cut their hands. Lo! my Lord knoweth their guile. ### Abul A'la Maududi — Tafhim commentary The king said: "Bring this man to me." But when the royal messenger came to Joseph he said:[1] "Go back to your master and ask him about the case of the women who had cut their hands. Surely my Lord has full knowledge of their guile."[2] _Footnotes_ - [1] There is no mention in the Bible and the Talmud of this most important part of the story that Prophet Joseph declined to quit the prison till his character was cleared. On the other hand, according to the Bible: Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon; and he shaved himself, and changed his raiment, and came in unto Pharaoh. And the Talmud depicts even a more degrading picture of the event. It says: The king ordered that Joseph should be brought before him. But he commanded his officers to be careful not to frighten the lad, lest through fear he should be unable to interpret correctly. And the servant of the king brought Joseph forth from his dungeon, and shaved him and clothed him in new garments, and carried him before the king. The king was seated upon his throne, and the glare and glitter of the jewels which ornamented the throne dazzled and astonished the eyes of Joseph. Now the throne of the king was reached by seven steps, and it was the custom of Egypt for a prince or noble who held audience with the king, to ascend to the sixth step; but when an inferior or a private citizen of the land was called into his presence, the king descended to the third step and from there spoke with him. (The Talmud, H. Polano, pp. 87-88). - [2] A comparison of the degrading picture in the Talmud with this self respecting grand, and noble picture depicted in the Quran will convince every unbiased critic that the one in the Quran is worthy of a Prophet of God. Moreover the picture in the Talmud is open to a grave objection: Had Prophet Joseph behaved like a frightened and cringing lad who was so dazzled by the glitter and glare of the jewels of the throne that he bowed to the ground, how was it that the king and the courtiers were so impressed by him that they declared, "......the Hebrew has proved himself wise and skillful and through his wisdom shall our country be saved the pangs of want"? So much so that the king appointed him, without demur as governor over the land, second only to himself. All this shows that by that time he had proved his moral and mental superiority and had enhanced it by his refusal to quit the prison without proving his innocence. Otherwise, they would have never raised him to the highest rank in such a civilized and advanced country as Egypt. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab The king, now pleased, said: "Bring him to me. " When the king's messenger went to fetch him, Yusuf with just confidence, said to the messenger.: "Go back to your master and ask him to re open my case and question the women who wounded their hands at the banquet and what did they have in mind to be up to trap! "Allah, my creator is indeed fully aware of their cunning." ### Bijan Moeinian The king said: "Bring this man to me. " When they were preparing Joseph for the royal audience, he said: “Ask the king to investigate the incidence in which the women of the town cut their hands (so that I go to him as an honest man and not a person who has betrayed his master’s trust.) God is aware of my enemies’ vicious plot [and will re-instate my reputation.]” ### Al-Hilali & Khan And the king said: "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Yûsuf (Joseph)] said: "Return to your lord and ask him, ‘What happened to the women who cut their hands? Surely, my Lord (Allâh) is Well-Aware of their plot.’" ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali So the king said: "Bring ye him unto me." But when the messenger came to him, (Joseph) said: "Go thou back to thy lord, and ask him, 'What is the state of mind of the ladies who cut their hands'? For my Lord is certainly well aware of their snare." ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran The King ˹then˺ said, "Bring him to me." When the messenger came to him, Joseph said, “Go back to your master and ask him about the case of the women who cut their hands. Surely my Lord has ˹full˺ knowledge of their cunning.” ### Taqi Usmani And (when this person went back and told the king about the interpretation of the dream), the king said, "Bring him to me." So, when the messenger came to Yūsuf, he said, “Go back to your lord and ask him, ‘What is the case of the women who cut their hands?’ Surely, my Lord knows well their guile.” ### Abdul Haleem The king said, ‘Bring him to me,’ but when the messenger came to fetch Joseph, he said, ‘Go back to your master and ask him about what happened to those women who cut their hands- my Lord knows all about their treachery.’ ### Arthur John Arberry The king said, 'Bring him to me!' And when the messenger came to him, he said, 'Return unto thy lord, and ask of him, "What of the women who cut their hands?" Surely my Lord has knowledge of their guile. ' ### E. Henry Palmer Then said the king, 'Bring him to me. ' And when the messenger came to him, he said, 'Go back to thy lord, and ask him, "What meant the women who cut their hands? Verily, my lord knows their craftiness!"' ### Hamid S. Aziz Then there will come after that a year in which the people shall have abundant rain and in which they shall press (wine and oil). ### Mahmoud Ghali And the king said, "Come up with him (i. e., Bring him) to me!" Then as soon as the messenger came to him, he (Yûsuf) said, "Return to your lord and so ask him, What about the women folk who severely cut (The Arabic verb from implies an action that is done repeatedly or to high degree or to a great extent) their hands? Surely my Lord is Ever-Knowing of their scheming." ### George Sale And when the chief butler had reported this, the king said, bring him unto me. And when the messenger came unto Joseph, he said, return unto thy lord, and ask of him, what was the intent of the women who cut their hands; for my Lord well knoweth the snare which they laid for me. ### Syed Vickar Ahamed And the king said: "You bring him (Yusuf) to me, " but when the messenger came to him, (Yusuf) said: "You go back to your king and ask him, ‘What is the state of mind of the ladies who cut their hands?’, For my Lord (Allah) is Well-Aware of their plot. ’" ### Amatul Rahman Omar And the King (after hearing the interpretation by Joseph) said, `Bring him to me!' But when the messengers came to him he said, `Go back to your lord and ask him (on my behalf), `How does the matter (deserving of your attention) stands with regard to the women who cut their hands; for my Lord has full knowledge of their crafty designs. ' ### Ali Quli Qarai The king said, ‘Bring him to me!’ When the messenger came to him, he said, ‘Go back to your master, and ask him about the affair of women who cut their hands. My Lord is indeed well aware of their stratagems.’ ### Ahmed Hulusi — Türkçe Kur'an Çözümü Melik dedi ki: "Onu (Yusuf'u) bana getirin!". . .

Elçi, Yusuf'a gelince (Yusuf) dedi ki: "Efendine dön de, ellerini kesen o kadınların derdi ne idi, diye sor.

Ama elçiler kendisine geldiğinde (Yusuf:) "Efendinize gidin ve ondan (önce) ellerini kesen kadınlar hakkındaki gerçeği (ortaya çıkarmasını) isteyin; çünkü, Rabbim onların oyunlarını/tuzaklarını bütün gerçeğiyle bilmektedir!" ### Şaban Piriş — Kur'an-ı Kerim Türkçe Anlamı Hükümdar: -O'nu bana getirin, dedi.

Şüphesiz ki Rabbim onların hilesini çok iyi bilendir."[3] _Footnotes_ - [1] Bu ayette geçen [er-rasûl] kelimesi, bilinen anlamda "peygamber" değil, insanlar arasındaki iletişimi sağlayan "elçi, ulak" demektir. - [2] Yûsuf 12:23, 41, 42 ve 50. ayetlerde geçen [rabb] kelimeleri, "efendi, sahip" anlamındadır. - [3] Yaklaşık 12 yıl hapiste kalan birisinin Kral'ın affına mazhar olması herkesin özlemle beklediği bir durum olmasına rağmen, Hz. Yusuf bunu tercih etmemiş, hapse atılmasındaki haksızlığın ortaya çıkarılmasını ve bunu bütün kamuoyunun böylece duyup bilmesini istemişti. Aksi takdirde üzerine atılı iftira ile ömür boyu yaşayacaktı. Hapisten hatır belası çıkmak yerine, zalim mi yoksa mazlum mu olduğunun ortaya çıkmasını sağlayarak ve aklanarak çıkmak onun en tabiî hakkıydı ki o da bunu uygulamıştı. ### Erhan Aktaş (10. Baskı) — Kerim Kur'an Hükümdar: "Onu bana getirin." dedi.

Benim Rabbim onların oyunlarını iyi bilir[2]." _Footnotes_ - [1] Nebi kelimesi Kur'an'da, Allah'ın seçip risaletle ilgili vahiy verdiği ve bu vahyi tebliğ etmekle görevlendirdiği kişiler için kullanılırken resul kelimesi böyle değildir. Resul "elçi" anlamındadır. Bu, risaletle ilgili olabildiği gibi insani ilişkiler bağlamında birinin birine gönderdiği kişi anlamında da kullanılır. Bu ayette geçen resul kelimesi risaletle ilgili olmayıp kralın Yusuf'a gönderdiği elçi anlamındadır. - [2] [Yusuf 12/31.](https://quran.so/12/31) ## Words | # | word | meaning | root | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | وَقَالَ — waqāla | And said | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 2 | ٱلْمَلِكُ — l-maliku | the king | ملك — Mim-Lam-Kef | | 3 | ٱئْتُونِى — i'tūnī | Bring him to me | اتي — Elif-Te-Ye | | 4 | بِهِۦ ۖ — bihi | Bring him to me | — | | 5 | فَلَمَّا — falammā | But when | — | | 6 | جَآءَهُ — jāahu | came to him | جيا — Cim-Ye-Elif | | 7 | ٱلرَّسُولُ — l-rasūlu | the messenger | رسل — Ra-Sin-Lam | | 8 | قَالَ — qāla | he said | قول — Kaf-Vav-Lam | | 9 | ٱرْجِعْ — ir'jiʿ | Return | رجع — Ra-Cim-Ayn | | 10 | إِلَىٰ — ilā | to | — | | 11 | رَبِّكَ — rabbika | your lord | ربب — Ra-Ba-Ba | | 12 | فَسْـَٔلْهُ — fasalhu | and ask him | سال — Sin-Elif-Lam | | 13 | مَا — mā | what | — | | 14 | بَالُ — bālu | (is the) case | بول — Be-Vav-Lam | | 15 | ٱلنِّسْوَةِ — l-nis'wati | (of) the women | نسو — Nun-Sin-Vav | | 16 | ٱلَّـٰتِى — allātī | who | — | | 17 | قَطَّعْنَ — qaṭṭaʿna | cut | قطع — Kaf-Ta-Ayn | | 18 | أَيْدِيَهُنَّ ۚ — aydiyahunna | their hands | يدي — Ye-Dal-Ye | | 19 | إِنَّ — inna | Indeed | — | | 20 | رَبِّى — rabbī | my Lord | ربب — Ra-Ba-Ba | | 21 | بِكَيْدِهِنَّ — bikaydihinna | of their plot | كيد — Kef-Ye-Dal | | 22 | عَلِيمٌۭ — ʿalīmun | (is) All-Knower | علم — Ayn-Lam-Mim | --- Previous: https://quran.so/surah-yusuf/verse-49.md · Next: https://quran.so/surah-yusuf/verse-51.md Retrieved: 2026-08-24 Quran.so — https://quran.so — CC BY-NC-SA 4.0 — When quoting, name the translator.
