Surah Yusuf Ayat 82 Tafsir (Commentry)

  • Shaheen International

176. This tells us that in Arabic the word QARYAH is used for a city as well. Observe! these brothers have referred to Egypt as QARYAH-town or city. Thus while this word has been used for Jummah Prayer, it would denote town or city, because Jummah Prayer cannot be perfromed in a village.

177.Because once before they had acted in a dishonest manner, they now knew that their father would not believe them even when they would be speaking the truth. Hence they said "Ask the people of Egypt for the truth" Therefore one should always make it the habit of speaking the truth at all times.
