Commentary
Suwaa-‘a – (a goblet,
drinking vessel without handle), this word has come out from Saaa’,
which is name of a measure (nearly less than 450 gram ). Any thing which is contained equal to that measure is called a Saaa’.
Za-‘iim –
(answerable), it is an adjective from the word za-‘ama, it means “to
accept responsibility”.
When brothers of
Joseph (peace be upon him) heard this voice, they turned unto the servants and
said: which thing have you lost? Government servants answered them: A precious
drinking-cup has been lost from the things of regal palace. The person, who
will tell about it, will be given extra grain equal to the weight of a
camel-load. Joseph (peace be upon him) said: It is my responsibility to put in
possession of him this reward.
Joseph (peace be
upon him) was aware that the lost drinking-cup would be discovered from the
provisions of Binyamin, and according to the Divine Law of Israelite
religion, punishment of a thief was that the owner of the theft thing was
authorized to keep the thief as a slave of him for one year. With this trick, Binyamin
would be able to live with his Brother lawfully.
Allah Almighty put in
Joseph’s mind this plan of keeping His brother with Him (peace be upon him).
Apparently Joseph (peace be upon him) was provided this opportunity from the
circumstances that His those brothers, who troubled Him, should attend His
court on that day for liability of the accusation of theft, and as they could not
fulfill their covenant of His safety with their father, like it, their treaty
about the safety of Binyamin should not be fulfilled, and after that
they should feel bashfulness and they repent.
