Prophet Yūsuf: Part 3 — Forgiveness, with Ayyūb and Yūnus
Section 9 of 28 · Lives of the Prophets
Cast My Shirt Over My Father's Face
So Yūsuf forgave his brothers and let them go — but he gave them something, and this was a miracle of the prophets. He gave them his shirt and said: throw it over my father, and he will see. His father was blind. Why was he blind? From crying over Yūsuf. And this was a miracle of Yūsuf.
ٱذْهَبُوا۟ بِقَمِيصِى هَـٰذَا فَأَلْقُوهُ عَلَىٰ وَجْهِ أَبِى يَأْتِ بَصِيرًا وَأْتُونِى بِأَهْلِكُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
“Go with this shirt of mine, and put it over the face of my father, and he will turn into a sighted man. And bring to me all your family.”” (12:93)
Go with this shirt of mine and cast it over the face of my father; he will become clear-sighted. And bring to me all your family.
