"Nor do I absolve my own self (of blame): the (human) soul is certainly prone to evil, unless my Lord do bestow His Mercy: but surely my Lord is Oft-forgiving, Most Merciful."

They said: "O exalted one! Behold! he has a father, aged and venerable, (who will grieve for him); so take one of us in his place; for we see that thou art (gracious) in doing good."

"Turn ye back to your father, and say, 'O our father! behold! thy son committed theft! we bear witness only to what we know, and we could not well guard against the unseen!

Then, when they came (back) into (Joseph's) presence they said: "O exalted one! distress has seized us and our family: we have (now) brought but scanty capital: so pay us full measure, (we pray thee), and treat it as charity to us: for Allah doth reward the charitable."

And he raised his parents high on the throne (of dignity), and they fell down in prostration, (all) before him. He said: "O my father! this is the fulfilment of my vision of old! Allah hath made it come true! He was indeed good to me when He took me out of prison and brought you (all here) out of the desert, (even) after Satan had sown enmity between me and my brothers. Verily my Lord understandeth best the mysteries of all that He planneth to do, for verily He is full of knowledge and wisdom.

And it is He who spread out the earth, and set thereon mountains standing firm and (flowing) rivers: and fruit of every kind He made in pairs, two and two: He draweth the night as a veil o'er the Day. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who consider!

And in the earth are tracts (diverse though) neighbouring, and gardens of vines and fields sown with corn, and palm trees - growing out of single roots or otherwise: watered with the same water, yet some of them We make more excellent than others to eat. Behold, verily in these things there are signs for those who understand!

For each (such person) there are (angels) in succession, before and behind him: They guard him by command of Allah. Allah does not change a people's lot unless they change what is in their hearts. But when (once) Allah willeth a people's punishment, there can be no turning it back, nor will they find, besides Him, any to protect.

The Unbelievers say: "Why is not a sign sent down to him from his Lord?" Say: "Truly Allah leaveth, to stray, whom He will; But He guideth to Himself those who turn to Him in penitence,-

If there were a Qur'an with which mountains were moved, or the earth were cloven asunder, or the dead were made to speak, (this would be the one!) But, truly, the command is with Allah in all things! Do not the Believers know, that, had Allah (so) willed, He could have guided all mankind (to the right)? But the Unbelievers,- never will disaster cease to seize them for their (ill) deeds, or to settle close to their homes, until the promise of Allah come to pass, for, verily, Allah will not fail in His promise.

We sent Moses with Our signs (and the command). "Bring out thy people from the depths of darkness into light, and teach them to remember the Days of Allah." Verily in this there are Signs for such as are firmly patient and constant,- grateful and appreciative.

And remember! your Lord caused to be declared (publicly): "If ye are grateful, I will add more (favours) unto you; But if ye show ingratitude, truly My punishment is terrible indeed."

And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

And Satan will say when the matter is decided: "It was Allah Who gave you a promise of Truth: I too promised, but I failed in my promise to you. I had no authority over you except to call you but ye listened to me: then reproach not me, but reproach your own souls. I cannot listen to your cries, nor can ye listen to mine. I reject your former act in associating me with Allah. For wrong-doers there must be a grievous penalty."

And He giveth you of all that ye ask for. But if ye count the favours of Allah, never will ye be able to number them. Verily, man is given up to injustice and ingratitude.

"Praise be to Allah, Who hath granted unto me in old age Isma'il and Isaac: for truly my Lord is He, the Hearer of Prayer!

Never think that Allah would fail his messengers in His promise: for Allah is Exalted in power, - the Lord of Retribution.

That Allah may requite each soul according to its deserts; and verily Allah is swift in calling to account.

"For over My servants no authority shalt thou have, except such as put themselves in the wrong and follow thee."

The righteous (will be) amid gardens and fountains (of clear-flowing water).

Lut said: "These are my guests: disgrace me not:

Behold! in this are Signs for those who by tokens do understand.

Behold! in this is a sign for those who believed.

For verily it is thy Lord who is the Master-Creator, knowing all things.

And they carry your heavy loads to lands that ye could not (otherwise) reach except with souls distressed: for your Lord is indeed Most Kind, Most Merciful,

With it He produces for you corn, olives, date-palms, grapes and every kind of fruit: verily in this is a sign for those who give thought.

He has made subject to you the Night and the Day; the sun and the moon; and the stars are in subjection by His Command: verily in this are Signs for men who are wise.

And the things on this earth which He has multiplied in varying colours (and qualities): verily in this is a sign for men who celebrate the praises of Allah (in gratitude).

If ye would count up the favours of Allah, never would ye be able to number them: for Allah is Oft-Forgiving, Most Merciful.

Then, on the Day of Judgment, He will cover them with shame, and say: "Where are My 'partners' concerning whom ye used to dispute (with the godly)?" Those endued with knowledge will say: "This Day, indeed, are the Unbelievers covered with shame and misery,-

（他说）：“我不自称清白；人性的确是怂恿人作恶的，除非我的主所怜悯的人。我的主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。”

他们说：“权贵啊！他的确有一位龙钟的老父；请你以我们中的一人代替他当奴仆吧。我们的确认为你是行善的。”

你们回去见父亲，然后对他说：我们的父亲啊！你的儿子确已偷窃，我们只作证我们所知道的。我们不是保证幽玄的。

当他们进去见优素福的时候，他们说：“权贵啊！我们和我们的眷属遭遇了灾害，只带来了一点劣质财物，请你给我们足量的粮食，请你施舍给我们。真主一定会报酬施舍者。”

他请他的双亲坐在高座上，他们为他而俯伏叩头，他说：“我的父亲啊！这就是我以前的梦兆的解释。我的主已使那个梦兆变成为事实了。他确已优待我，因为他把我从监狱里释放出来，他在恶魔离间我和我哥哥们之后，把你们从沙漠里带到这里来。我的主，对他所意欲者确是慈爱的。他确是全知的，确是至睿的。

他展开大地，并在大地上安置许多山岳和河流，他把每种果实造成两性的，他以黑夜覆盖白昼。对于能思维的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

大地上有许多邻近的区域，有葡萄园，有庄稼，有椰枣树，其中有二株同根生的，二株异根生的，（这些都是）用同样的水灌溉的，我却使这一部分果实比那一部分佳美。对于能理解的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

每个人的前面和后面，都有许多接踵而来的天神，他们奉真主的命令来监护他。真主必定不变更任何民众的情况，直到他们变更自己的情况。当真主欲降灾害于任何民众的时候，那灾害是不可抗拒的。除真主外，他们绝无保佑者。

不信道的人们说：“怎么没有一种迹象从他的主降临他呢？”你说：“真主必定使他所意欲者误入迷途，必定使归依他的人走上正路。”

假若有一部《古兰经》，可用来移动山岳，或破裂大地，或使死人说话，（他们必不信它）。不然，一切事情只归真主，难道信道的人们不知道吗？假若真主意欲，地必引导全人类。不信道的人们还要因自己的行为而遭受灾殃，或他们住宅的附近遭受灾殃，直到真主的应许到来。真主确是不爽约的。

我确已派遣穆萨带著我的许多迹象去，（我说）：”你把你的宗族从重重黑暗中引入光明吧。你应当以真主的一些纪念日提醒他们。”对于每个坚忍者和感恩者，此中确有许多迹象。

当时，你们的主曾宣布说：“如果你们感谢，我誓必对你们恩上加恩；如果你们忘恩负义，那末，我的刑罚确是严厉的。”

当事情已被判决的时候，恶魔说：“真主确已真实地应许你们，我也曾应许你们，但我对你们爽约了。我对你们本来没有什么权力，不过是我召唤你们，而你们响应我的号召。所以你们不要责备我，应当责备自己，我不能援救你们，你们也不能援救我。我不承认以前你们曾把我配主，不义者必受痛苦的刑罚。”

当事情已被判决的时候，恶魔说：“真主确已真实地应许你们，我也曾应许你们，但我对你们爽约了。我对你们本来没有什么权力，不过是我召唤你们，而你们响应我的号召。所以你们不要责备我，应当责备自己，我不能援救你们，你们也不能援救我。我不承认以前你们曾把我配主，不义者必受痛苦的刑罚。”

你们对主的要求，他对你们都有所赏赐。如果你们计算真主的恩惠，你们不能加以统计。人确是很不义的，确是忘恩负义的。

一切赞颂，全归真主！他在我老迈的时候，赏赐我易司马仪和易司哈格。我的主确是听取祈踌的。

你绝不要以为真主对他的使者爽约。真主确是强大的，确是惩恶的。

以便真主依据各人所行的善恶而加以报酬。真主确是清算神速的。

我的仆人，你对他们绝无权力，除非那些顺从你的迷误者。

敬畏者们必定在一些乐园和源泉之间，

他说：“这些是我的客人，你们不要凌辱我，

对于能考察者，此中确有许多迹象。

对于信道者，此中确有一种迹象。

你的主确是创造万物的主，确是全知的。

牲畜把你们的货物驮运到你们须经困难才能到达的地方去。你们的主确是至仁的，确是至慈的。

他为你们而生产庄稼、油橄榄、椰枣、葡萄和各种果实。对于能思维的民众，此中确有一种迹象。

他为你们而制服了昼夜和日月，群星都是因他的意旨而被制服的；对于能理解的民众，此中确有许多迹象。

（他又为你们而制服）他所为你们创造于大地的各色物品，对于能记取教诲的民众，此中确有一种迹象。

如果你们要计算真主的恩惠，你们是无法统计的。真主确是至赦的，确是至慈的。

然后在复活日他要凌辱他们，并审问他们说：“我那些伙伴--你们为了他们而与信士们相争论的--如今在哪里呢？”有学识者将要说：“凌辱和刑罚今日必归于不信道者。”
