Commentary
‘Ad-laa – (he
let down), it is a past tense from the word ‘id-laa-‘un, which has
come out from the word dal-wun, used after this word. Dal-wun means
a pail. ‘Id-laa-‘un means “to let the pail down in the pit”.
Yaa-bush-raa – (Good
luck!), bushraa means “pleasure and good news”. In Arabic,
this word is used for exclaiming about any sudden pleasure as Wow!, Bravo!,
Excellent!, Oh!, Well done! etc.
bizaa-‘atun – (a
treasure, a capital, stock, principal sum, wealth). The things to be sold are
called bizaa-‘ah. During the times, when Holy Qur’an was
revealed, there was a fashion of selling and buying the human beings by making
them slaves.
The people of caravan hid
Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) from others, considering that He (peace be
upon him) was a very valuable wealth. It is mentioned that the brothers placed
Joseph (peace be upon him) in the depth of the pit, but they continued looking
after Him. They were not desirous of His death. They wished heartily that
someone should pull Him out of the pit, carry away and sell Him at any
distant place. Therefore, they used to watch the situation every moment. They
knew immediately that the people of the caravan have pulled Him (peace be upon
him) out by means of a pail, and they have hidden Him; determining the property
of trade. Brothers of Joseph (peace be upon him) were eager of the same. So they
were comforted. They went unto the people of the caravan and satisfied that
Joseph (peace be upon him) was with them.
Allah Almighty was well Aware
of the conduct of all of them and the consequence that what would be happened
in future.
