Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-6

Prophet Yusuf's (AS) Brothers in Egypt
When his brothers arrived in Egypt, Prophet
Yusuf (AS) was very pleased to see them.
They did not recognise him at all, never
expecting that he was alive. Prophet Yusuf
(AS) was disappointed not to see his full
brother, Binyameen, and asked his brothers to
tell him about themselves.
They introduced themselves and told him
about their father and mother. Prophet Yusuf
(AS) was relieved to hear that Prophet Ya'qub
(AS) was alive, and he welcomed his brothers
sincerely. He provided them with enough
wheat for their needs and had their money put
back in their bags secretly. He also asked
them to bring their other brother the next time
as proof that they were speaking the truth
about their family. The Holy Qur'an narrates
this episode in the following words:
Yusuf's brothers came to him and when they
entered his court, he recognised them. They
did not know him. And when he gave them the
provisions, he said, "Next time, bring me your
other brother from your father. As you can see,
I give each of you a certain amount of grain, I
am a polite host. If you do not bring him, do
not come to us for we shall not give you any
more grain.
Surah Yusuf, 12:58- 60
On their return home, the brothers related their
experiences to their father, praising the
generosity and hospitality of Prophet Yusuf
(AS). When they opened their bags they were
delighted to see that their money had been
returned. Soon they were out of grain and
were impatient to go back to Egypt to get
more. However, they could not go back
without Binyameen, so they tried to convince
their father to let him come with them.
Prophet Ya'qub (AS) refused to let them take
Binyameen, saying that they would do the
same thing with him as they did with Prophet
Yusuf (AS).
After repeated promises the brothers finally
convinced him that they would sincerely look
after Binyameen, so he let him accompany
them to Egypt.
When they reached Egypt, the brothers
proceeded to the court of Prophet Yusuf (AS)
and presented their brother Binyameen to him.
Prophet Yusuf (AS) was extremely happy to
see his younger brother and invited all of
them to dine with him. Later he gave them all
accommodation at his own house, and asked
Binyameen to sleep in his room. During the
night, Prophet Yusuf (AS) revealed his identity
to Binyameen.
He explained how he had been raised from a
lowly slave to a position of great power by the
Grace of Allah. However, he asked Binyameen
not to tell their brothers anything of their
conversation.
