فَبَدَأَ So he began بِأَوْعِيَتِهِمْ with their bags قَبْلَ before وِعَآءِ (the) bag أَخِيهِ (of) his brother ثُمَّ then ٱسْتَخْرَجَهَا he brought it out مِن from وِعَآءِ (the) bag أَخِيهِ ۚ (of) his brother كَذَٰلِكَ Thus كِدْنَا (did) We plan لِيُوسُفَ ۖ for Yusuf مَا He could not كَانَ He could not لِيَأْخُذَ take أَخَاهُ his brother فِى by دِينِ the law ٱلْمَلِكِ (of) the king إِلَّآ except أَن that يَشَآءَ Allah willed ٱللَّهُ ۚ Allah willed نَرْفَعُ We raise دَرَجَـٰتٍۢ (in) degrees مَّن whom نَّشَآءُ ۗ We will وَفَوْقَ but over كُلِّ every ذِى possessor عِلْمٍ (of) knowledge عَلِيمٌۭ (is) the All-Knower ٧٦
So he began [the search] with their bags before the bag of his brother; then he extracted it from the bag of his brother. Thus did We plan for Joseph. He could not have taken his brother within the religion [i.e., law] of the king except that Allāh willed. We raise in degrees whom We will, but over every possessor of knowledge is one [more] knowing.
