Stories from Qurran ( Hazrat yusuf(A.S) met his brothers
After Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) became minister of Egypt
and the seven years of abundance passed, then came the seven years of drought that struck all areas of Egypt. The drought also reached the area of Canaan where Prophet Hazrat Ya`qub (A.S) , peace be upon him, and his children resided. Prophet Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) efficiently guarded the people's harvest and collected it , and what he collected became a great fortune for the people.
This also permitted Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) to give gifts to the people who sought his aid from various areas who came to buy food and provisions for their families. Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) would not give a family man more than whatever a camel could carry, as annual provisions for them. Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) himself did not fill his stomach from this food, nor did the king and his aids eat except one meal a day. By doing so, the people could sustain themselves with what they had for the remainder of the seven years. Indeed, Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) was a mercy from Allah sent to the people of Egypt. Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) brothers were among those who came to Egypt to buy food supplies, by the order of their father. They knew that the `Aziz of Egypt was selling food to people who need it for a low price,
So Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) brothers took some merchandise from their land with them to exchange it for food. They were ten, because HazratYa`qub (A.S) kept his son and Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) brothers Binyamin with him. Binyamin was the dearest of his sons to him after Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) . When Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) brothers entered on him in his court and the center of his authority, he knew them the minute . However, they did not recognize him because they got rid of him , and sold him to a caravan of travelers . They could not have imagined that Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) would end up being a minister, and this is why they did not recognize . But Hazrat yusuf recognized them. Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) asked them,
"What brought you to my land''
They said, "O, `king, we came to buy provisions.''
Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) asked them, "You might be spies.'' They said, "Allah forbids.''
Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) asked them, "Where are you from'' They said, "From the area of Kana`an..''
Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) asked them, "Does he have other children besides you''
They said, "Yes, we were twelve brothers. Our youngest died in the desert. His full brother is alive . so that his closeness compensates him for losing our youngest brother who die.''
And when Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) gave them what they wanted to buy, he said to them, "Bring me your brother so that I know that you have told me the truth. He threatened them that if the next time they come without Binyamin with them, they will not be allowed to buy the food .
Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) told his slaves to put their money or the merchandise they brought with them to exchange for food into their bags while they were unaware.
It was said that Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) did this because he feared that his brothers might not have any more merchandise they could bring with them to exchange for food.
When Hazrat Yusuf (A.S) ‘s brothers returned they asked their father him.'
"Send binyamine with us tomorrow to enjoy himself and play, and verily, we will take care of him.''
Hazrat yaqoob (A.S) asked them, `Will you do to him except what you did to his brother Yusuf before, when you took him away from me.
But Allah is the Best to guard, and He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy. Ya`qub said, `Allah has the most mercy with me among all those who show mercy, He is compassionate with me for my old age, feebleness and eagerness for my son. I invoke Allah to return him to me, and to allow him and I to be together; for surely, He is the Most Merciful of those who show mercy.'
Allah says, when Yusuf's brothers opened their bags, they found their merchandise inside them, for Yusuf had ordered his servants to return it to their bags. When they found their merchandise in their bags,
They said: "O our father! What (more) can we desire., what more can we ask for,
This, our money has been returned to us; that they said, "What more can we ask for, our merchandise was returned to us and the `Aziz has given us the sufficient load we wanted'' They said next,
so we shall get (more) food for our family,`if you send our brother with us the next time we go to buy food for our family,
and we shall guard our brother and add one more measure of a camel's load.) since Yusuf, peace be upon him, gave each man a camel's load of corn.
This quantity is easy for the king to give. They said these words to make their case more appealing, saying that taking their brother with them is worth this gain,
Ya`qub Jacob said: "I will not send him with you until you swear a solemn oath to me in Allah's Name, until you swear by Allah with the strongest oath,
that you will bring him back to me unless you are yourselves surrounded by enemies, unless you were all overwhelmed and were unable to rescue him,
And when they had sworn their solemn oath), he affirmed it further, saying,
Allah is the Witness to what we have said. Ya`qub did that because he had no choice but to send them to bring necessary food supplies for their survival. So he sent Binyamin with them.''

Hazrat Ya`qub (A.S) peace be upon him, ordered his children, when he sent Binyamin with them to Egypt, to enter from different gates rather than all of them entering from one gate. They were handsome and looked beautiful and graceful. Hazrat Ya`qub (A.S) feared that people might direct the evil eye at them, because the evil eye truly harms. Hazrat Ya`qub (A.S) next said, and I cannot avail you against.
