اقْتُلُوا
يُوسُفَ
أَوِ
اطْرَحُوهُ
أَرْضًا
يَخْلُ
لَكُمْ
وَجْهُ
أَبِيكُمْ
وَتَكُونُوا
مِن
بَعْدِهِ
قَوْمًا
صَالِحِينَ

‘Kill Joseph or cast him away into some [distant] land, so that your father’s attention may be exclusively towards you, and thereafter you may become a righteous lot.’
— Ali Quli Qarai
"Slay ye Joseph or cast him out to some (unknown) land, that so the favour of your father may be given to you alone: (there will be time enough) for you to be righteous after that!"
