             him well? Why don't you send him out with us tomorrow
             so he can enjoy himself and play about? All of us will make
             sure that he is safe." (Surah Yusuf: 11-12)

             Later, they left Yusuf (as) in the bottom of a well and went back
        to their father with another lie that he had been carried off by a wolf.
        They tried to say they were innocent by saying, "But you are never

             of the event that you describe." (Surah Yusuf: 18)
