Quran 12:75 — Joseph (Yousuf)

They said, "The punishment, if it is found in his bag, is that the thief belongs to you. We thus punish the guilty."

[12:74] They said, "What is the punishment for the thief, if you are liars?"

[12:76] He then started by inspecting their containers, before getting to his brother's container, and he extracted it out of his brother's container. We thus perfected the scheme for Joseph; he could not have kept his brother if he applied the king's law. But that was the will of GOD. We exalt whomever we choose to higher ranks. Above every knowledgeable one, there is one who is even more knowledgeable.
