قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللَّهِ وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللَّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

"He said, "I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah, and I know from Allah that which you do not know.""

اس نے کہا: میں اپنی پریشانی اور غم کی فریاد صرف اللہ سے کرتا ہوں، اور مجھے اللہ کی طرف سے وہ معلوم ہے جو تم نہیں جانتے۔

Explanation

Jacob was heartbroken on losing his two very dear sons. But at the same time he pinned his hopes on the Grace of God. He was certain that Joseph’s dream predicted the future and that it would definitely come true. That is why he asked his sons to go and search for Joseph and also to try to have Benjamin released.
