The Holy Quran 12:11 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

قَالُوا۟ يَـٰٓأَبَانَا مَا لَكَ لَا تَأْمَ۫نَّا عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَإِنَّا لَهُۥ لَنَـٰصِحُونَ

Translation

(Knowing that their father did not trust them alone with Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام) They said, "O our Father! What is the matter with you that you do not trust us (at all) with Yusuf whereas we are his well-wishers?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

This shows that they had made a request of this kind to their father before as well, but his heart was not at ease about sending [Yusuf] with them.
