The Holy Quran 12:15 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُوا۟ بِهِۦ وَأَجْمَعُوٓا۟ أَن يَجْعَلُوهُ فِى غَيَـٰبَتِ ٱلْجُبِّ ۚ وَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمْرِهِمْ هَـٰذَا وَهُمْ لَا يَشْعُرُونَ

Translation

When they took him and together resolved (agreed) to throw him into a dark well, We sent revelation to him (as he sat on a rock in the well) that you will certainly remind them of this matter (sometime in the future) when they will not realise (who you are).
