The Holy Quran 12:99 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ ءَاوَىٰٓ إِلَيْهِ أَبَوَيْهِ وَقَالَ ٱدْخُلُوا۟ مِصْرَ إِن شَآءَ ٱللَّهُ ءَامِنِينَ

Translation

When they (arrived in Egypt) entered the presence of Yusuf, he made his parents stay with him and (welcoming the family to Egypt, Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام) said, "Enter Egypt (and live here) in safety (without missing Can'aan and without fear of starvation) if Allaah wills."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

[Yusuf ﵇] went out of the city to welcome them and gave his mother and father a place close to himself. (The commentators differ on this: some say that the mother of Yusuf ﵇ had died earlier, as has already been mentioned in the previous notes, and that his maternal aunt is meant here; others say that his mother was alive and came to Egypt with Ya'qub ﵇.)
