Surah Yusuf Tafseer

قَالَ إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي إِلَى اللّهِ

He said:"I only complain of my grief and sorrow to Allah."

When they said these words to him, Yaqub said,

إِنَّمَا أَشْكُو بَثِّي وَحُزْنِي

`(I only complain of my grief and sorrow) for the afflictions that struck me,

إِلَى اللّهِ

(to Allah) alone,

وَأَعْلَمُ مِنَ اللّهِ مَا لَا تَعْلَمُونَ

and I know from Allah that which you know not.

I anticipate from Allah each and every type of goodness.'

Ibn Abbas commented on the meaning of,

(and I know from Allah that which you know not),

"The vision that Yusuf saw is truthful and Allah will certainly make it come true."
