قَالَ هَلْ اٰمَنُكُمْ عَلَیْهِ اِلَّا كَمَاۤ اَمِنْتُكُمْ عَلٰۤی اَخِیْهِ مِنْ قَبْلُ ؕ فَاللّٰهُ خَیْرٌ حٰفِظًا ۪ وَّهُوَ اَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِیْنَ ۟

Saheeh International
He said, "Should I entrust you with him except [under coercion] as I entrusted you with his brother before? But Allāh is the best guardian, and He is the most merciful of the merciful."
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
Their father asked them if he should trust them with him as he had trusted them with his full brother, Joseph. He had trusted them with Joseph and made them promise to take care of him, and they had not done what they promised, so he did not trust their promise to take care of his brother; but he trusted in Allah, for He is the best of guardians to whom He wills, and the most Merciful of the merciful to whom He wills.
