So he [Yusuf (Joseph)] began (the search) in their bags before the bag of his brother. Then he brought it out of his brother's bag. Thus did We plan for Yusuf (Joseph). He could not take his brother by the law of the king (as a slave), except that Allah willed it. (So Allah made the brothers to bind themselves with their way of "punishment, i.e. enslaving of a thief.") We raise to degrees whom We please, but over all those endowed with knowledge is the All-Knowing (Allah).
Basi akaanza kwenye mizigo yao kabla ya mzigo wa nduguye. Kisha akakitoa katika mzigo wa nduguye. Hivi ndivyo tulivyo mpangia Yusuf. Hakuweza kumzuia nduguye kwa sharia ya mfalme isipo kuwa alivyo taka Mwenyezi Mungu. Tunawatukuza kwenye vyeo tuwatakao; na juu ya kila ajuaye yupo ajuaye zaidi.
