| 1 | A.L.R. These are the symbols (or Verses) of the perspicuous Book. | |
| 2 | We have sent it down as an Arabic Qur'an, in order that ye may learn wisdom. | |
| 3 | We do relate unto thee the most beautiful of stories, in that We reveal to thee this (portion of the) Qur'an: before this, thou too was among those who knew it not. | |
| 4 | Behold! Joseph said to his father: "O my father! I did see eleven stars and the sun and the moon: I saw them prostrate themselves to me!" | |
| 5 | Said (the father): "My (dear) little son! relate not thy vision to thy brothers, lest they concoct a plot against thee: for Satan is to man an avowed enemy! | |
| 6 | "Thus will thy Lord choose thee and teach thee the interpretation of stories (and events) and perfect His favour to thee and to the posterity of Jacob - even as He perfected it to thy fathers Abraham and Isaac aforetime! for Allah is full of knowledge and wisdom." | |
| 7 | Verily in Joseph and his brethren are signs (or symbols) for seekers (after Truth). | |
| 8 | They said: "Truly Joseph and his brother are loved more by our father than we: But we are a goodly body! really our father is obviously wandering (in his mind)! | |
| 9 | "Slay ye Joseph or cast him out to some (unknown) land, that so the favour of your father may be given to you alone: (there will be time enough) for you to be righteous after that!" | |
| 10 | Said one of them: "Slay not Joseph, but if ye must do something, throw him down to the bottom of the well: he will be picked up by some caravan of travellers." | |
| 11 | They said: "O our father! why dost thou not trust us with Joseph,- seeing we are indeed his sincere well-wishers? | |
| 12 | "Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and we shall take every care of him." | |
| 13 | (Jacob) said: "Really it saddens me that ye should take him away: I fear lest the wolf should devour him while ye attend not to him." | |
| 14 | They said: "If the wolf were to devour him while we are (so large) a party, then should we indeed (first) have perished ourselves!" | |
| 15 | So they did take him away, and they all agreed to throw him down to the bottom of the well: and We put into his heart (this Message): 'Of a surety thou shalt (one day) tell them the truth of this their affair while they know (thee) not'
