The Holy Quran 12:70 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا جَهَّزَهُم بِجَهَازِهِمْ جَعَلَ ٱلسِّقَايَةَ فِى رَحْلِ أَخِيهِ ثُمَّ أَذَّنَ مُؤَذِّنٌ أَيَّتُهَا ٱلْعِيرُ إِنَّكُمْ لَسَـٰرِقُونَ

Translation

(As a plan to keep his brother in Egypt) When he (Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام) prepared their provisions for them (the brothers), he placed a (golden) drinking cup in his brother's (Bin Yaameen's) carriage (bag). Thereafter (as the brothers started to leave) an announcer (addressing the caravan of the brothers) announced, "O caravan! Verily you are thieves!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The brothers are accused of theft: that is, when, by the order of Yusuf ﵇, their grain was loaded and their provisions for the journey prepared, he placed a silver cup in the baggage of his brother Binyamin without [the others'] knowledge.
