so send with us our brother [that] we will be given measure. And indeed, we will be his guardians."
فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا أَخَانَا نَكْتَلْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَافِظُونَAnswer:
Yes, the brothers of Yusuf (peace be upon him), when Yusuf spoke to them and they did not recognize him, said to them:
he said, "Bring me a brother of yours from your father.
قَالَ ائْتُونِي بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْa brother of yours from your father
بِأَخٍ لَّكُم مِّنْ أَبِيكُمْ(60) But if you do not bring him to me, no measure will there be [hereafter] for you from me, nor will you approach me." (61) They said, "We will attempt to dissuade his father from [keeping] him, and indeed, we will do [it]."
فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِي بِهِ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِي وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ قَالُوا سَنُرَاوِدُ عَنْهُ أَبَاهُ وَإِنَّا لَفَاعِلُونَ
