فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَٰرِقُونَ
اس کے یہ معنے نہیں کہ اس کو پھنسانے کے لئے بلکہ اس نے پینے کے لئے پانی مانگا تھا۔ پھر غلطی سے برتن اس بورے میں جو اس کے بھائی کا تھا رکھ دیا۔ معلوم ہوتا ہے کہ یوسفؑ نے تھک کر پینے کے لئے پانی مانگا۔ نوکر پانی لائے اور پانی پی کر اس نے غلطی سے وہ برتن جو پانی پینے کے کام بھی آتا تھا اور ماپنے کے بھی‘ بھائی کے بورے میں رکھ دیا۔ ہمارے زمانہ میں بھی اکثر دودھ اور غلّے گلاس سے ماپے جاتے ہیں اور وہ پانی پینے کے بھی کام آتے ہیں۔
The word Ja‘ala (put) may either signify that Joseph himself ordered the cup to be put in his brother’s sack so that he might use it on his way home; or that the cup happened to be placed among Benjamin’s articles, Joseph not knowing that it was there.
It is incorrect to say that Joseph himself first ordered the drinking- cup to be placed in his brother’s sack, and then accused him of theft—an action much below his dignity. In fact, it was a Siqayah (a drinking-cup) which Joseph had ordered to be placed in the sack of his brother while the vessel which was declared by the royal proclaimer to have been lost was a Suwa‘ (a measuring-vessel). It seems that in the excitement of helping his brothers to prepare for their return journey and in view of the approaching separation from Benjamin, after only a brief meeting, Joseph felt thirst and called for water. It was brought to him in the royal measuring vessel. Such vessels were then used both as measuring-vessels and drinking-cups. After satisfying his thirst he inadvertently placed the vessel among Benjamin’s things, and it thus became packed with the effects of his brother without having been noticed by anybody. Joseph at once understood how the mistake had occurred, but, thinking that
Commentary:
The word جعل (put) may either mean that Joseph ordered the cup to be put in his brother’s sack knowingly so that he might use it on his way home; or that it was put there by mistake i.e. when Joseph had drunk water from it while the two brothers were engaged in conversation, the cup happened to be placed among Benjamin’s articles, Joseph not knowing that it was there.

وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ
Even before the caravan reached home, Jacob had told his people that, in spite of all appearances to the contrary, he hoped to meet Joseph soon; and in order to lend emphasis to his conviction, he added the words 'even though you take me to be a dotard' meaning thereby, 'you consider this meeting to be an impossibility, being not more than the illusion and wishful thinking of an old man, but I know it as a fact and a certainty.'
Important Words:
تفندون (take me to be a dotard) is derived from فند (fannada) which is derived from فند (fanada) which means, he uttered a falsehood; he committed mistakes in extreme old age; he became weak in judgement by reason of extreme old age. افندmeans, he became weak in intellect or he doted. فندہ (fannada-hu) means, he pronounced him to be an utterer of falsehood; he blamed him; he pronounced his judgement to be weak; مفند (mufannad) is one who is weak in judgement or unsound in mind by reason of extreme old age or disease; one who confounds things in his speech (Lane).
