Therefore, they thought, how can he love these two more than the group, إِنَّ أَبَانَا لَفِى ضَلَلٍ مُّبِينٍ (Really, our father is in a plain error.) because he preferred them and loved them more than us. اقْتُلُواْ يُوسُفَ أَوِ اطْرَحُوهُ أَرْضًا يَخْلُ لَكُمْ وَجْهُ أَبِيكُمْ (Kill Yusuf or cast him out to some (other) land, so that the favor of your father may be given to you alone,) They said, `Remove Yusuf, who competes with you for your father's love, from in front of your father's face so that his favor is yours alone.…
