And when they became hopeless of him, they secretly confided. The elder one among them said, “Do you not know that to your father we have already given an oath on Allah, and before that, you have dealt excessively with Yousuf? I would never leave this land (earth) until I get permission from my father, or Allah decides for me, for He is the Best of the Judges.”
