So when they returned to their father, they said, "O our father, [further] measure has been denied to us, so send with us our brother [that] we will be given measure. And indeed, we will be his guardians."
قَالَ He said qāla Should hal I entrust you āmanukum with him ʿalayhi except illā as kamā I entrusted you amintukum with ʿalā his brother akhīhi before min before qablu But Allah fal-lahu (is) the best khayrun Guardian ḥāfiẓan and He wahuwa (is the) Most Merciful arḥamu (of) the merciful l-rāḥimīna
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allāh is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
