    📖 Commentary of Surah Yusuf – Verse 94

    When the caravan departed, their father said, "Indeed, I can smell the scent of Yusuf [200], unless you think me weakened in mind."
    (Kanzul Imaan Translation)

    ✅ [200] The recognition of Yusuf’s scent from afar

    Hazrat Yaqub (علیہ السلام) said this to his grandsons and other family members, as all his sons were then in Egypt.

    • A special sweet fragrance had emanated from the blessed body of Hazrat Yusuf (علیہ السلام).

    • Prophets perceive near and far by Divine power. Hazrat Yaqub (علیہ السلام) sensed the scent of Yusuf's shirt from a great distance.

    • Prophetic traits, like lightning, appear and disappear by Allah’s command — not bound to fixed times.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah Yusuf verse 94 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Yusuf ayat 93 which provides the complete commentary from verse 93 through 95.

    (12:94) And as the caravan set out (from Egypt), their father said (in Canaan): “Indeed I smell the fragrance of Joseph.[66] I say so although you may think that I am doting.”

    Ala-Maududi

    (12:94) And as the caravan set out (from Egypt), their father said (in Canaan): “Indeed I smell the fragrance of Joseph.[66] I say so although you may think that I am doting.”

    66. This is an instance of the extraordinary powers the Prophets possess. Prophet Jacob perceived in Canaan the smell of Prophet Joseph’s shirt from such a distant place as Egypt as soon as the caravan started on the journey. At the same time it also shows, by contrast, that these powers of the Prophets are not inherent or personal characteristics but are bestowed on them by Allah as and when He wills. That is why Prophet Jacob could not perceive the smell of the clothes of Prophet Joseph as long as Allah did not will it, when he had been living in Egypt.

    In this connection, it should also be noted that in contrast to the Quran which represents Prophet Jacob as a great Prophet who was able to perceive the smell of Prophet Joseph from such a long distance, the Bible represents him as an ordinary uncultured father. According to Genesis 45: 26-27, when they told him, saying: Joseph is yet alive and he is governor over all the land of Egypt, Jacob’s heart fainted, for he believed them not, and only when he saw the wagons which Joseph had sent to carry him, the spirit of Jacob their father revived.

    (94) And when the caravan departed [from Egypt], their father said,[616] "Indeed, I find the smell of Joseph [and would say that he was alive] if you did not think me weakened in mind."

    [616]- To those present with him, either some of his sons or other relatives.
