Commentary
‘Ad-laa – (he let
down), it is a past tense from the word ‘id-laa-‘un, which has come out
from the word dal-wun, used after this word. Dal-wun means a
pail. ‘Id-laa-‘un means “to let the pail down in the pit”.
Yaa-bush-raa – (Good luck!), bushraa means “pleasure and good news”. In
Arabic, this word is used for exclaiming about any sudden pleasure as Wow!,
Bravo!, Excellent!, Oh!, Well done! etc.
bizaa-‘atun – (a
treasure, a capital, stock, principal sum, wealth). The things to be sold are
called bizaa-‘ah. During the times, when Holy Qur’an was
revealed, there was a fashion of selling and buying the human beings by making
them slaves.
The people of
caravan hid Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) from others, considering that He
(peace be upon him) was a very valuable wealth. It is mentioned that the
brothers placed Joseph (peace be upon him) in the depth of the pit, but they
continued looking after Him. They were not desirous of His death. They wished
heartily that someone should pull Him out of the pit, carry away and sell Him at
any distant place. Therefore, they used
to watch the situation every moment. They knew immediately that the people of
the caravan have pulled Him (peace be upon him) out by means of a pail, and
they have hidden Him; determining the property of trade. Brothers of Joseph
(peace be upon him) were eager of the same. So they were comforted. They went
unto the people of the caravan and satisfied that Joseph (peace be upon him)
was with them.
Allah Almighty was
well Aware of the conduct of all of them and the consequence that what would be
happened in future.
