وَقَالَ یٰبَنِیَّ لَا تَدۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡۢ بَابٍ وّٰحِدٍ وَّادۡخُلُوۡا مِنۡ اَبۡوٰبٍ مُّتَفَرِّقَۃٍ ۖ وَّمَاۤ اُغۡنِیۡ عَنۡکُمۡ مِّنَ اللّٰہِ مِنۡ شَیۡءٍ ۖ اِنِ الۡحُکۡمُ اِلَّا لِلّٰہِ ۖ عَلَیۡہِ تَوَکَّلۡتُ ۖ وَعَلَیۡہِ فَلۡیَتَوَکَّلِ الۡمُتَوَکِّلُوۡنَ
11:57, 89; 14:12.
مفسر کہتے ہیں کہ نظر لگنے سے بچانے کے لئے ایسا حکم دیا گیا۔ مگر اصل بات یہ معلوم ہوتی ہے کہ سارے قصے کو سن کر حضرت یعقوب علیہ السلام کو یقین ہو گیا تھا‘جیسا کہ آیت کے اگلے حصے میں ہے‘ کہ غلّہ تقسیم کرنے والا یوسفؑ ہے۔ ورنہ فرعون کے کسی وزیر کو کیا ضرورت تھی کہ وہ یوسفؑ کے بھائی کے لانے پر زور دیتا۔ پس حضرت یعقوبؑ نے چاہا کہ سب بھائی الگ الگ دروازوں سے شہر میں جائیں تا شاہی سپاہی یامین کو دوسرے بھائیوں سے پہلے یوسف سے ملوادیں اور دونوں بھائی ایک دوسرے سے حالات سن لیں۔
11:57, 89; 14:12.
11:57, 89; 14:12.
Commentary:
As Joseph’s brothers had told Jacob that they were suspected of being spies in Egypt, so, in order not to excite or strengthen a similar suspicion, Jacob advised them to enter the town separately and not in a body. The advice may be taken as hinting that Jacob had possibly been told by Divine revelation that Joseph was alive in Egypt and therefore he asked them to enter the town singly so that Joseph might have an opportunity to meet and talk to Benjamin in private.
For the meaning of the term توکل (trust in God) see 3:123.

لَہَا سَبۡعَۃُ اَبۡوٰبٍ لِّکُلِّ بَابٍ مِّنۡہُمۡ جُزۡءٌ مَّقۡسُوۡمٌ
قرآن مجید میں جُزْئٌ کا لفظ ہے اور چونکہ جہنم میں ایک گروہ نے جانا تھا۔ ہم نے ’’مقرّر حصہ‘‘ ترجمہ کیا ہے اور یہی صحیح ہے۔
In Arabic the number "seven," as also "seventy," are often used to express not a specific numeral but the idea either of perfection and completeness or of profusion. The verse signifies that Hell will have the number of gates corresponding to the number and variety of sins committed by the guilty persons. The number "seven" may also refer to the seven exteroceptive senses, viz. the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, pain and temperature, by which man receives impressions from the outer world.
Commentary:
As regards the seven gates of Hell, as stated in the present verse, it may be remembered that in Arabic the number seven, as also the number seventy, is often used to express not a specific numeral but the idea either of perfection or completeness or of profusion. In this sense the verse would signify that Hell will have the number of gates corresponding to the number and variety of offences committed by the sinful. The number "seven" may also refer to the seven exteroceptive senses viz. the senses of vision, hearing, smell, taste, touch, pain and temperature, granted to man for receiving impressions from the outer world.
The words جزء مقسوم (a portion allotted to it) signify that each of the inmates of Hell will enter it by the door corresponding to his offence. With regard to Heaven also it is reported in a saying of the Holy Prophet that each of its inmates will enter it by a door corresponding to his specific good deeds (Bukhari, ch. on Fada’il-e-Ashabun-Nabi).
The word جزء (a portion) does not mean, as is clear from this verse, part of one’s body. It only means a section or party of sinners as distinct from others. This explains the meaning of this word in 2:261 where it signifies one bird as distinct from others and not different parts of one bird.
Incidentally, it may be mentioned here that elsewhere the Quran mentions the number of guards placed over Hell as nineteen (74:31). The reason for this might lie in the fact that man has been endowed with nine major senses i.e. the seven exteroceptive senses mentioned above, one proprioceptive sense of position in space and one enteroceptive sense arising from internal organs relating to sensations of hunger, thirst, etc. These, coupled with their nine spiritual counterparts together with the guardian or the controlling sense i.e. the will-power which dominates and controls all these different faculties of human nature, are nineteen in number and hence the nineteen guardians of Hell. This specific mention of the number of the guardian angels of Hell as nineteen forcefully draws attention to the fact that man becomes deserving of Hell on account of his having abused his God-given faculties.
