وَجَآءَتۡ سَیَّارَۃٌ فَاَرۡسَلُوۡا وَارِدَہُمۡ فَاَدۡلٰی دَلۡوَہٗ ۖ قَالَ یٰبُشۡرٰی ہٰذَا غُلٰمٌ ۚ وَاَسَرُّوۡہُ بِضٰعَۃً ۚ وَاللّٰہُ عَلِیۡمٌۢ بِمَا یَعۡمَلُوۡنَ
The members of the caravan looked upon Joseph as a precious asset.
Commentary:
It is noteworthy how God takes care of His faithful servants. Joseph’s brothers cast him into a deep well in the wilderness but God so arranged that immediately afterwards a caravan arrived there. A man sent to fetch water from a well happened to go to the very well into which Joseph had been cast and this led to his being taken out alive.
The words, And they concealed him as a piece of merchandise, show that the members of the caravan looked upon Joseph as treasure and saw in him a youth of promise.
