The Holy Quran 12:60 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

فَإِن لَّمْ تَأْتُونِى بِهِۦ فَلَا كَيْلَ لَكُمْ عِندِى وَلَا تَقْرَبُونِ

Translation

"(However,) If you do not bring him to me (it would mean that you are lying and taking an extra load for nothing. Therefore,) you will (then) have no measure (of provisions) from me (for him), nor shall you draw close (to me to receive anything)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, if you do not bring him, it will be taken that you wanted, by lying and deception, to get an extra camel-load against the rules. The penalty for this will be that in future even your own share will be forfeited; indeed, you will not even be permitted to come to me or into my realm.
