English Translation
Here you can read various translations of verse 90
They said, “Are you indeed Joseph?” He said “I am Joseph, and this is my brother. Allah has certainly favored us. Indeed, he who fears Allah and is patient, then indeed, Allah does not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.”
They said: “Art thou indeed Joseph?” He said, “I am Joseph, and this is my brother: Allah has indeed been gracious to us (all): behold, he that is righteous and patient,- never will Allah suffer the reward to be lost, of those who do right.”
They exclaimed: “Are you indeed Joseph?” He said: “Yes, I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah has surely been gracious to us. Indeed whoever fears Allah and remains patient, Allah does not allow the reward of such people to go to waste.”
They said: “Are you indeed Yusuf (Joseph)?” He said: “I am Yusuf (Joseph), and this is my brother (Benjamin). Allah has indeed been gracious to us. Verily, he who fears Allah with obedience to Him (by abstaining from sins and evil deeds, and by performing righteous good deeds), and is patient, then surely, Allah makes not the reward of the Muhsinun (good-doers – see V. 2:112) to be lost.”
They said: Is it indeed thou who art Joseph? He said: I am Joseph and this is my brother. Allah hath shown us favour. Lo! he who wardeth off (evil) and endureth (findeth favour); for lo! Allah loseth not the wages of the kindly.
They said, “Is it sure that you, indeed you, are Yûsuf?” (Joseph) “I am Yûsuf, ” he said, “and this is my brother. Allah has already been bounteous to us. Surely whoever is pious and (endures) patiently, then surely Allah does not waste the reward of the fair-doers.”
and they cried, ‘Could it be that you are Joseph?’ He said, ‘I am Joseph. This is my brother. God has been gracious to us: God does not deny anyone who is mindful of God and steadfast in adversity the rewards of those who do good.’
انہوں نے کہا کیا (واقعی) تو ہی یوسف (علیہ السلام) ہے۔ جواب دیا کہ ہاں میں یوسف (علیہ السلام) ہوں اور یہ میرا بھائی ہے۔ اللہ نے ہم پر فضل وکرم کیا، بات یہ ہے کہ جو بھی پرہیز گاری اور صبر کرے تو اللہ تعالیٰ کسی نیکوکار کا اجر ضائع نہیں کرتا
