Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-13

Persons like Wolves
Dawn broke. The ten brothers got ready to go
to the distant meadows and pastures.
Yousif was glad to go with them.
They smiled at Yousif. Thus Yousif loved them
very much. He was like an angel. There was
nothing in his heart except love, mercy, and
good.
All the brothers took their cattle and went
away.
They arrived at the pastures. They were unable
to see their tents. So that smile disappeared.
It melted as salt melts in water.
Yahudha came. He hit Yousif hard and
shouted at him: "Rahil's son, hurry up!"
Yousif was astonished at this act. He looked
at his brother with astonishment. He thought
that his brother was joking with him. However,
his brother was not joking. His eyes were
flashing with wickedness. His teeth appeared.
They were like those of a wild wolf.
Yousif was afraid of his brothers. He walked
quickly. Suddenly another brother hit him. He
fell on his face. Then he looked at the brother
who hit him. It was Sham'on who hit him.
Yousif'said with pain: "Sham'on, why've you
hit me? I'm your brother. I'm Ya'qub's son."
Rawbin shouted at Yousif. "Be silent! Don't
say anything! You're Rahil's son!"
Yousif wept. He burst into tears. He said to
his brother: "I'm your brother! I'm Yousif!"
His brothers gathered about him and shouted
at him: "You're our enemy! You've controlled
Ya'qub's heart!"
However, their eyes flashed with wickedness.
One of them drew his dagger to kill Yousif.
Yousif ran, not knowing where to go.
They chased and caught him. They began
hitting him. Yousif's nose bled.
The ten brothers exchanged looks.
One of them said: "What're you waiting for?
This is a good opportunity to get rid of
Yousif"
Another brother said: "Let's take him a distant
place. There the wolves will eat him."
One of them opposed this view, saying:
"Perhaps he's able to return. So he'll expose
us before our father."
Sham'on said: "Listen to me. Let's take him to
the way of passengers. There's a deep well.
We'll throw him into the well. He'll die in the
well. If he won't die, passengers will take him
out of the well. They'll sell him as a slave."
All the brothers listened carefully to
Sbam'on's plan. They all agreed on that low
plot.
The ten brothers were as wild as wolves. They
knew nothing except treason. Yousif looked at
his brothers with astonishment. He thought
that he saw a dream. Then he said to himself:
"No, it's not a dream. It's the truth. My
brothers have plotted against me for a long
time."
Then the ten brothers were able to achieve
their aim. They took him to the desert. They
did not want anyone to see them or to know
their act towards Yousif.
Yousif looked at the sky. Then he said to
himself. "Don't my brothers know that Allah
sees them all and knows their secret
intentions"?
Yousif heard them say: "We'll turn to Allah in
repentance. We'll be good people."
