When Joseph said to his father, 'My father, I saw eleven stars, and the sun and the moon. I saw them bowing down to me.'
12:5
قَالَ یٰبُنَیَّ لَا تَقْصُصْ رُءْیَاكَ عَلٰۤی اِخْوَتِكَ فَیَكِیْدُوْا لَكَ كَیْدًا ؕ اِنَّ الشَّیْطٰنَ لِلْاِنْسَانِ عَدُوٌّ مُّبِیْنٌ ۟ قَالَ يَٰبُنَيَّ لَا تَقۡصُصۡ رُءۡيَاكَ عَلَىٰٓ إِخۡوَتِكَ فَيَكِيدُواْ لَكَ كَيۡدًاۖ إِنَّ ٱلشَّيۡطَٰنَ لِلۡإِنسَٰنِ عَدُوّٞ مُّبِينٞ ٥
He said, 'My son, do not tell your brothers about your dream, or they may scheme against you. Satan is truly a clear enemy to humankind.

In this way your Lord will choose you, teach you the interpretation of events and dreams, and complete His favour upon you and the family of Jacob, just as He completed it before upon your forefathers Abraham and Isaac. Your Lord is truly All-Knowing, All-Wise.'
12:7
لَقَدْ كَانَ فِیْ یُوْسُفَ وَاِخْوَتِهٖۤ اٰیٰتٌ لِّلسَّآىِٕلِیْنَ ۟ ۞ لَّقَدۡ كَانَ فِي يُوسُفَ وَإِخۡوَتِهِۦٓ ءَايَٰتٞ لِّلسَّآئِلِينَ ٧

When they said, 'Joseph and his brother are dearer to our father than we are, even though we are a strong group. Our father is clearly mistaken.
12:9
قْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ اَوِ اطْرَحُوْهُ اَرْضًا یَّخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ اَبِیْكُمْ وَتَكُوْنُوْا مِنْ بَعْدِهٖ قَوْمًا صٰلِحِیْنَ ۟ ٱقۡتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ أَوِ ٱطۡرَحُوهُ أَرۡضٗا يَخۡلُ لَكُمۡ وَجۡهُ أَبِيكُمۡ وَتَكُونُواْ مِنۢ بَعۡدِهِۦ قَوۡمٗا صَٰلِحِينَ ٩
Kill Joseph or cast him away somewhere, so your father's attention will be yours alone. After that, you can become righteous people.'
12:10
قَالَ قَآىِٕلٌ مِّنْهُمْ لَا تَقْتُلُوْا یُوْسُفَ وَاَلْقُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّ یَلْتَقِطْهُ بَعْضُ السَّیَّارَةِ اِنْ كُنْتُمْ فٰعِلِیْنَ ۟ قَالَ قَآئِلٞ مِّنۡهُمۡ لَا تَقۡتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ وَأَلۡقُوهُ فِي غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلۡجُبِّ يَلۡتَقِطۡهُ بَعۡضُ ٱلسَّيَّارَةِ إِن كُنتُمۡ فَٰعِلِينَ ١٠
One of them said, 'Do not kill Joseph. If you are determined to do something, throw him into the hidden depths of a well. Some travellers may pick him up.'

They said, 'Our father, why do you not trust us with Joseph when we truly want what is best for him?
12:12
اَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَدًا یَّرْتَعْ وَیَلْعَبْ وَاِنَّا لَهٗ لَحٰفِظُوْنَ ۟ أَرۡسِلۡهُ مَعَنَا غَدٗا يَرۡتَعۡ وَيَلۡعَبۡ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَحَٰفِظُونَ ١٢
Send him with us tomorrow so he can enjoy himself and play. We will certainly protect him.'
12:13
قَالَ اِنِّیْ لَیَحْزُنُنِیْۤ اَنْ تَذْهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَاَخَافُ اَنْ یَّاْكُلَهُ الذِّئْبُ وَاَنْتُمْ عَنْهُ غٰفِلُوْنَ ۟ قَالَ إِنِّي لَيَحۡزُنُنِيٓ أَن تَذۡهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَخَافُ أَن يَأۡكُلَهُ ٱلذِّئۡبُ وَأَنتُمۡ عَنۡهُ غَٰفِلُونَ ١٣
He said, 'It saddens me that you would take him away, and I fear a wolf may eat him while you are not paying attention.'
12:14

They said, 'If a wolf eats him while we are such a strong group, then we would truly be losers.'
12:15
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوْا بِهٖ وَاَجْمَعُوْۤا اَنْ یَّجْعَلُوْهُ فِیْ غَیٰبَتِ الْجُبِّ ۚ وَاَوْحَیْنَاۤ اِلَیْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُمْ بِاَمْرِهِمْ هٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا یَشْعُرُوْنَ ۟ فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَجۡمَعُوٓاْ أَن يَجۡعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلۡجُبِّۚ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمۡرِهِمۡ هَٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٥

The man from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, 'Treat him well. Perhaps he may benefit us, or we may adopt him as a son.' In this way We established Joseph in the land and taught him the interpretation of events and dreams. Allah always prevails in His purpose, but most people do not know.
