Arabic text
وَتَوَلَّىٰ عَنۡهُمۡ وَقَالَ يَـٰٓأَسَفَىٰ عَلَىٰ يُوسُفَ وَٱبۡيَضَّتۡ عَيۡنَاهُ مِنَ ٱلۡحُزۡنِ فَهُوَ كَظِيمٞ
And he turned away from them and said, "Oh, my sorrow over Joseph," and his eyes became white[614] from grief, for he was [of that] a suppressor.[615]Translator’s notes (2)
- [614]i.e., he lost his sight.
- [615]He did not express the extent of his grief or his anger at what he suspected his sons had done but was patient, depending only upon Allāh for help.
