1. He did not believe what his children said due to several reasons:
First : Yusuf’s pbuh shirt was not torn and if the wolf had indeed attacked him, it would have tore his shirt.
Second: the blood on the shirt was not human blood, and Allah Almighty referred to it as saying: “false blood”
Third: Yusuf pbuh’s vision which he had told his father about, means his survival in order to be a king and a prophet.
2. Yaqoub was patient towards his sons’ evil-doing with a “beautiful patience”, i.e. no complaint other than to Allah.
(And they brought his shirt, stained with false blood. He responded, “No! Your souls must have tempted you to do something ˹evil˺. So ˹I can only endure with˺ beautiful patience! It is Allah’s help that I seek to bear your claims.”) Yusuf 12:18
- لم يصدق ما قاله الأبناء وذلك لعدة أسباب:
- صبر يعقوب على كيد الأبناء “صبرًا جميلاً” أي لا شكوى معه لغير الله.
أولهما: أن قميص يوسف لم يكن ممزقًا ولو أكله الذئب لمزق قميصه.
ثانيهما: أن الدم الذي كان على القميص لم يكن دم آدمي، وقد أشار إلى ذلك قوله: “بدم كذب”
ثالثهما: أن رؤيا يوسف التي حكاها لأبيه تقتضي بقاءه على قيد الحياة حتى يكون نبيًا ملكًا.
(وَجَآءُوا عَلَىٰ قَمِيصِهِ بِدَمٍ كَذِبٍ قَالَ بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْراً فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ وَٱللَّهُ ٱلْمُسْتَعَانُ عَلَىٰ مَا تَصِفُونَ)
يوسف:18
