Translation
They said: "If he steals, there was a brother of his who did steal before (him)." But these things did Joseph keep locked in his heart, revealing not the secrets to them. He (simply) said (to himself): "Ye are the worse situated; and Allah knoweth best the truth of what ye assert!"

قال إخوة يوسف: إنْ سرق هذا فقد سرق أخ شقيق له من قبل (يقصدون يوسف عليه السلام) فأخفى يوسف في نفسه ما سمعه، وحدَّث نفسه قائلا أنتم أسوأ منزلة ممن ذكرتم، حيث دبَّرتم لي ما كان منكم، والله أعلم بما تصفون من الكذب والافتراء.
