The Holy Quran 12:96 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

فَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَ ٱلْبَشِيرُ أَلْقَىٰهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِهِۦ فَٱرْتَدَّ بَصِيرًا ۖ قَالَ أَلَمْ أَقُل لَّكُمْ إِنِّىٓ أَعْلَمُ مِنَ ٱللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

Translation

(However,) When the carrier of good news arrived and placed the shirt on his face, he regained his sight. (To remind them of what he had always been telling them) He said, “Did I not tell you that I have such knowledge from Allaah that you do not know?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Or: I did tell my sons, “Search for Yusuf ﵇; what is impossible for the mercy of Allah in gathering us all together again?” See, that is exactly what has happened.
