➋ From this, it is understood that even the truthful statement of a liar is not accepted. As for how Yaqub (peace be upon him) was expressing hope for meeting all of them, firstly, he was a prophet of Allah, and secondly, he was certain that the interpretation of Yusuf’s dream would come to pass. However, the separation from his beloved son, then the lack of knowledge about the state of his dear one, the unknown time for the fulfillment of the interpretation, and now the continuous shocks of the loss of two more sons, and the effort to bear all this silently, had a very deep effect on the temperament of Yaqub (peace be upon him).

The Recovery of Lost Property Does Not Prove Theft:
These are exactly the same words that Sayyiduna Ya'qubؑ had said when the brothers of Yusuf came to him at night weeping after throwing Yusufؑ into the well, and fabricated a false story to tell him. This time, after hearing the whole incident from these sons of his, the admonition he gave them meant: Could you not have said that the recovery of a lost item from someone's belongings is not definite proof that the person has certainly stolen it? It is possible that someone else placed that item among his belongings. Then, by further accusing Yusuf of theft, you made the accusation against Binyamin even more solid. From this admonition, two things become clear: first, that Sayyiduna Ya'qubؑ was firmly convinced that these sons of his could not be thieves; and second, that the brothers of Yusuf always remained suspicious of these two younger brothers.
[81] By "all," it refers to Yusuf, Binyamin, and their eldest brother who, out of shame and remorse, stayed behind in Egypt.
