Explained together with ayah 10
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًۭا يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ
Send him with us tomorrow that he may eat well and play. And indeed, we will be his guardians.
﴿يَرۡتَعۡ﴾: يَتَنعَّمْ في أكْلِ ما لَذَّ له وطابَ.
﴿وَيَلۡعَبۡ﴾: يتسابَقْ ويرمِ بالسِّهام معنا.
قَالَ إِنِّى لَيَحْزُنُنِىٓ أَن تَذْهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأْكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَأَنتُمْ عَنْهُ غَٰفِلُونَ
[Jacob] said, "Indeed, it saddens me that you should take him, and I fear that a wolf would eat him while you are of him unaware."
﴿لَيَحۡزُنُنِيٓ﴾: لَيُؤْلمُ نفسي فِراقُ يوسفَ.
﴿غَـٰفِلُونَ﴾: ساهُون.
قَالُوا۟ لَئِنْ أَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ وَنَحْنُ عُصْبَةٌ إِنَّآ إِذًۭا لَّخَٰسِرُونَ
They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."
﴿لَّخَـٰسِرُونَ﴾: عاجِزُون لا خيرَ فينا.
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ
So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well... But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."
﴿وَأَجۡمَعُوٓاْ﴾: عَزَمُوا.
﴿وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ﴾: أعلمَ اللهُ يوسُفَ؛ تَطْمينًا لقَلْبِه.
﴿لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم﴾: لتُخْبِرَنَّ إخوتَك.
وَجَآءُوٓ أَبَاهُمْ عِشَآءًۭ يَبْكُونَ
And they came to their father at night, weeping.
Explained together with ayah 15
قَالُوا۟ يَٰٓأَبَانَآ إِنَّا ذَهَبْنَا نَسْتَبِقُ وَتَرَكْنَا يُوسُفَ عِندَ مَتَٰعِنَا فَأَكَلَهُ ٱلذِّئْبُ ۖ وَمَآ أَنتَ بِمُؤْمِنٍۢ لَّنَا وَلَوْ كُنَّا صَٰدِقِينَ
They said, "O our father, indeed we went racing each other and left Joseph with our possessions, and a wolf ate him. But you would not believe us, even if we were truthful."
﴿نَسۡتَبِقُ﴾: نتسابَقُ في الجَرْيِ والرَّمْيِ بالسِّهامِ.
﴿مَتَـٰعِنَا﴾: ما ننتفِعُ به من الطَّعامِ والثيابِ ونحوِهما.
﴿بِمُؤۡمِنࣲ لَّنَا﴾: بمُصَدِّقٍ لنا.
وَجَآءُو عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِۦ بِدَمٍۢ كَذِبٍۢ ۚ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًۭا ۖ فَصَبْرٌۭ جَمِيلٌۭ ۖ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ
And they brought upon his shirt false blood. [Jacob] said, "Rather, your souls have enticed you to something, so patience is most fitting. And Allah is the one sought for help against that which you describe."
﴿سَوَّلَتۡ﴾: زَيَّنَتْ.
﴿فَصَبۡرࣱ جَمِيلࣱ﴾: وهو ما لا جَزَعَ فيه، ولا شَكْوى معه لأحدٍ من الخَلْقِ.
وَجَآءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌۭ فَأَرْسَلُوا۟ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَىٰ دَلْوَهُۥ ۖ قَالَ يَٰبُشْرَىٰ هَٰذَا غُلَٰمٌۭ ۚ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَٰعَةًۭ ۚ وَٱللَّهُ عَلِيمٌۢ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
And there came a company of travelers; then they sent their water drawer, and he let down his bucket. He said, "Good news! Here is a boy." And they concealed him, [taking him] as merchandise; and Allah was knowing of what they did.
﴿سَيَّارَةࣱ﴾: جماعةٌ من المسافرين.
﴿وَارِدَهُمۡ﴾: مَن يتقدَّمُهم ليطلُبَ لهم الماءَ.
﴿فَأَدۡلَىٰ دَلۡوَهُۥ﴾: فأَنْزَلَها الواردُ في البئرِ.
﴿وَأَسَرُّوهُ﴾: وأخفى الوارِدُ وأصحابُه يوسفَ عن بقيةِ المسافرين.
﴿بِضَـٰعَةࣰ﴾: متاعًا للتجارة.
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍۭ بَخْسٍۢ دَرَٰهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍۢ وَكَانُوا۟ فِيهِ مِنَ ٱلزَّٰهِدِينَ
And they sold him for a reduced price - a few dirhams - and they were, concerning him, of those content with little.
﴿وَشَرَوۡهُ﴾: باعه إخوتُه.
﴿بَخۡسࣲ﴾: قليلٍ ناقصٍ عن مِثْلِه.
﴿ٱلزَّ ٰهِدِينَ﴾: المُعْرِضين عنه، غيرِ المبالِين به.
