قَالَ هَلْ ءَامَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَّا كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَىٰٓ أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ ۖ فَٱللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَٰفِظًۭا ۖ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ

سُورَةُ يُوسُفَ
English — Sahih International
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allah is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."

باپ نے جواب دیا "کیا میں اُس کے معاملہ میں تم پر ویسا ہی بھروسہ کروں جیسا اِس سے پہلے اُس کے بھائی کے معاملہ میں کر چکا ہوں؟ اللہ ہی بہتر محافظ ہے اور وہ سب سے بڑھ کر رحم فرمانے والا ہے"

Berkata Ya'qub: "Bagaimana aku akan mempercayakannya (Bunyamin) kepadamu, kecuali seperti aku telah mempercayakan saudaranya (Yusuf) kepada kamu dahulu?". Maka Allah adalah sebaik-baik Penjaga dan Dia adalah Maha Penyanyang diantara para penyanyang.
Ibn Kathir
Yusuf's Brothers ask Ya`qub's Permission to send Their Brother Binyamin with Them to Egypt
Allah says that when they went back to their father,
قَالُواْ يأَبَانَا مُنِعَ مِنَّا الْكَيْلُ
(they said: "O our father! No more measure of grain shall we get...") `after this time, unless you send our brother Binyamin with us. So send him with us, and we shall get our measure and we shall certainly guard him.' Some scholars read this Ayah in a way that means, `and he shall get his ration.' They said,
وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَـفِظُونَ
(and truly, we will guard him.), `do not fear for his safety, for he will be returned back to you.' This is what they said to Ya`qub about their brother Yusuf,
أَرْسِلْهُ مَعَنَا غَداً يَرْتَعْ وَيَلْعَبْ وَإِنَّا لَهُ لَحَـفِظُونَ
("Send him with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and verily, we will take care of him.") 12:12 This is why Prophet Ya`qub said to them,
هَلْ آمَنُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلاَّ كَمَآ أَمِنتُكُمْ عَلَى أَخِيهِ مِن قَبْلُ
(Can I entrust him to you except as I entrusted his brother Yusuf to you aforetime) He asked them, `Will you do to him except what you did to his brother Yusuf before, when you took him away from me and separated me from him'
فَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ حَـفِظًا
وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرَحِمِينَ
(But Allah is the Best to guard, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.) Ya`qub said, `Allah has the most mercy with me among all those who show mercy, He is compassionate with me for my old age, feebleness and eagerness for my son. I invoke Allah to return him to me, and to allow him and I to be together; for surely, He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.'

قال لهم أبوهم: كيف آمنكم على "بنيامين" وقد أمنتكم على أخيه يوسف من قبل، والتزمتم بحفظه فلم تفوا بذلك؟ فلا أثق بالتزامكم وحفظكم، ولكني أثق بحفظ الله، خير الحافظين وأرحم الراحمين، أرجو أن يرحمني فيحفظه ويرده عليَّ.
