Surah Yusuf (12) — Ayah 83
قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا ۖ فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ ۖ عَسَى ٱللَّهُ أَن يَأْتِيَنِى بِهِمْ جَمِيعًا ۚ إِنَّهُۥ هُوَ ٱلْعَلِيمُ ٱلْحَكِيمُ ﴿83﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
He [Ya‘qûb (Jacob)] said: "Nay, but your ownselves have beguiled you into something. So patience is most fitting (for me). May be Allâh will bring them (back) all to me. Truly He! Only He is All-Knowing, All-Wise."

Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan — Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf
Tafsir Ahsan al-Bayan is a well-known Quran commentary by Hafiz Salahuddin Yusuf, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar from Pakistan. This tafsir explains the meanings of the Quran in accordance with the methodology of the Salaf (early righteous generations), relying on authentic sources and straightforward language. Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
83. 1 Since Hazrat Yaqub (علیہ السلام) was unaware of the reality of the situation and Allah had not informed him of the actual event through revelation, he thought that these sons of his had made up the story themselves. What exactly had they done with Binyamin? Hazrat Yaqub (علیہ السلام) did not have definite knowledge of this, but based on the incident with Yusuf (علیہ السلام), he understandably had doubts and suspicions about them.
83. 2 Now again, there was no option except patience, however, along with patience, he did not let go of hope. for Yusuf (علیہ السلام), Binyamin, and that eldest son who, out of shame, stayed there in Egypt, thinking that either his father would allow him to return in this state or he would somehow bring Binyamin back with him.
