سوره 12 Yusuf — آیه 77
۞ قَالُوٓا۟ إِن يَسْرِقْ فَقَدْ سَرَقَ أَخٌۭ لَّهُۥ مِن قَبْلُ ۚ فَأَسَرَّهَا يُوسُفُ فِى نَفْسِهِۦ وَلَمْ يُبْدِهَا لَهُمْ ۚ قَالَ أَنتُمْ شَرٌّۭ مَّكَانًۭا ۖ وَٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا تَصِفُونَ
گفتند: اگر او دزدى كرده، برادرش نيز پيش از اين دزدى كرده بود. يوسف جواب آن سخن در دل پنهان داشت و هيچ اظهار نكرد و گفت: شما در وضعى بدتر هستيد و خدا به بهتانى كه مى‌زنيد آگاه‌تر است.

تفسیر · Ibn Kathir (Abridged)
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,
(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,
(But these things did Yusuf keep in himself), meaning the statement that he said afterwards,
(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,
(But these things did Yusuf keep in himself), "He kept in himself his statement next,
(You are in an evil situation, and Allah is the Best Knower of that which you describe!)."
