قَالُوا۟ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ مَن وُجِدَ فِى رَحْلِهِۦ فَهُوَ جَزَٰٓؤُهُۥ ۚ كَذَٰلِكَ نَجْزِى ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ ﴿75﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
They [Yûsuf’s (Joseph) brothers] said: "His penalty should be that he, in whose bag it is found, should be held for the punishment (of the crime). Thus we punish the Zâlimûn (wrong-doers)!"

75. 1. That is, the thief would be handed over for a period of time to the person from whom he had stolen. This was the punishment in the Shariah of Yaqub (علیہ السلام), according to which the brothers of Yusuf (علیہ السلام) suggested this punishment.
75. 2. This statement is also from the brothers of Yusuf (علیہ السلام); according to some, it is the statement of the companions of Yusuf (علیہ السلام) who said that we also give such a punishment to wrongdoers. But the next part of the verse, that "in the king's law he could not have seized his brother," negates this statement.
