The Holy Quran 12:94 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

وَلَمَّا فَصَلَتِ ٱلْعِيرُ قَالَ أَبُوهُمْ إِنِّى لَأَجِدُ رِيحَ يُوسُفَ ۖ لَوْلَآ أَن تُفَنِّدُونِ

Translation

When the caravan (with the brothers) left (Egypt), their father said (to those at home in Can'aan), "Verily, if it were not (for fear) that you would say I am senile, (I would say that) I smell the fragrance of Yusuf."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Ya'qub ﵇ senses the scent of Yusuf ﵇: such is the power of Allah! Yusuf ﵇ was present in Egypt, yet [Ya'qub ﵇] never once said that he could smell the scent of Yusuf ﵇, because Allah had to bring the trial to completion.
