They said, "If he steals - a brother of his has stolen before." But Joseph kept it within himself and did not reveal it to them. He said, "You are worse in position, and Allah is most knowing of what you describe."
اردو — مودودی
ان بھائیوں نے کہا "یہ چوری کرے تو کچھ تعجب کی بات بھی نہیں، اس سے پہلے اس کا بھائی (یوسفؑ) بھی چوری کر چکا ہے" یوسفؑ ان کی یہ بات سن کر پی گیا، حقیقت ان پر نہ کھولی بس (زیر لب) اتنا کہہ کر رہ گیا کہ "بڑے ہی برے ہو تم لوگ، (میرے منہ در منہ مجھ پر) جو الزام تم لگا رہے ہو اس کی حقیقت خدا خوب جانتا ہے"

Mereka berkata: "Jika ia mencuri, maka sesungguhnya, telah pernah mencuri pula saudaranya sebelum itu". Maka Yusuf menyembunyikan kejengkelan itu pada dirinya dan tidak menampakkannya kepada mereka. Dia berkata (dalam hatinya): "Kamu lebih buruk kedudukanmu (sifat-sifatmu) dan Allah Maha Mengetahui apa yang kamu terangkan itu".
Ibn Kathir
Yusuf's Brothers accuse Him of Theft!
After Yusuf's brothers saw that the king's bowl was taken out of Binyamin's bag, they said,
إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌ لَّهُ مِن قَبْلُ
(If he steals, there was a brother of his who did steal before.) They tried to show themselves as innocent from being like Binyamin, saying that he did just like a brother of his did beforehand, meaning Yusuf, peace be upon him! Allah said,
فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِ
(But these things did Yusuf keep in himself), meaning the statement that he said afterwards,
أَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَاناً وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمْ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ
(You are in an evil situation, and Allah is the Best Knower of that which you describe!) Yusuf said this to himself and did not utter it aloud, thus intending to hide what he wanted to say to himself even before he said it. Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas said about Allah's statement,
فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِ
(But these things did Yusuf keep in himself), "He kept in himself his statement next,
أَنْتُمْ شَرٌّ مَّكَاناً وَاللَّهُ أَعْلَمْ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ
(You are in an evil situation, and Allah is the Best Knower of that which you describe!)."
المُيَسَّر
قال إخوة يوسف: إنْ سرق هذا فقد سرق أخ شقيق له من قبل (يقصدون يوسف عليه السلام) فأخفى يوسف في نفسه ما سمعه، وحدَّث نفسه قائلا أنتم أسوأ منزلة ممن ذكرتم، حيث دبَّرتم لي ما كان منكم، والله أعلم بما تصفون من الكذب والافتراء.
