English - Hazrat Molavi Sher Ali ra
They replied, ‘By Allah, thou art assuredly in thy old error.’
English - Five Volume Translation
They replied, ‘By Allah, thou art assuredly in thy old error.’
Important Words:
ضلالك (thy error). ضلال is derived from ضل which means, he erred or he lost his way; he was or became confounded or perplexed and was unable to see his right course; he forgot. ضلال means, error; losing or missing the right course. The Arabs say تمادی فی اضالیل الھوی i.e. he persevered in the errors of love (Lane).
Commentary:
The verse brings out the marked difference between those who receive Divine revelation and those who do not. The certainty attained by one inspired by God is not vouchsafed to others. In spite of his emphatic assertion that he would soon meet Joseph, the members of Jacob’s family refused to believe it possible and attributed Jacob’s conviction to an error of judgement or his extreme love for Joseph.
