Para 13 Surah 12 : 68
وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا۟ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِى عَنْهُم مِّنَ ٱللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِلَّا حَاجَةً فِى نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَىٰهَا ۚ وَإِنَّهُۥ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَـٰهُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ

And when they entered from where their father had ordered them, it did not avail them against Allāh at all except [it was] a need [i.e., concern] within the soul of Jacob, which he satisfied. And indeed, he was a possessor of knowledge because of what We had taught him, but most of the people do not know.

Ya`qub orders His Children to enter Egypt from Different GatesAllah says that Ya`qub, peace be upon him, ordered his children, when he sent Binyamin with them to Egypt, to enter from different gates rather than all of them entering from one gate. Ibn `Abbas, Muhammad bin Ka`b, Mujahid, Ad-Dahhak Qatadah, As-Suddi and several others said that he feared the evil eye for them, because they were handsome and looked beautiful and graceful. He feared that people might direct the evil eye at them, because the evil eye truly harms, by Allah's decree, and brings down the mighty warrior-rider from his horse. He next said, l وَمَآ أُغْنِى عَنكُمْ مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ(and I cannot avail you against Allah at all.) this precaution will not resist Allah's decision and appointed decree. Verily, whatever Allah wills, cannot be resisted or stopped, إِنِ الْحُكْمُ إِلاَّ للَّهِ عَلَيْهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ وَعَلَيْهِ فَلْيَتَوَكَّلِ الْمُتَوَكِّلُونَوَلَمَّا دَخَلُواْ مِنْ حَيْثُ أَمَرَهُمْ أَبُوهُم مَّا كَانَ يُغْنِى عَنْهُمْ مِّنَ اللَّهِ مِن شَىْءٍ إِلاَّ حَاجَةً فِى نَفْسِ يَعْقُوبَ قَضَاهَا("Verily, the decision rests only with Allah. In Him, I put my trust and let all those that trust, put their trust in Him." And when they entered according to their father's advice, it did not avail them in the least against (the will of) Allah; it was but a need of Ya`qub's inner self which he discharged. ), as a precaution against the evil eye, وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ(And verily, he was endowed with knowledge because We had taught him,) he had knowledge that he implemented, according to Qatadah and Ath-Thawri. Ibn Jarir said that this part of the Ayah means, he has knowledge that We taught him, وَلَـكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ يَعْلَمُونَ(but most men know not.)

بابچونکہ اللہ کے نبی نے یعقوب علیہ السلام کو اپنے بچوں پر نظر لگ جانے کا کھٹکا تھا کیونکہ وہ سب اچھے، خوبصورت، تنو مند، طاقتور، مضبوط دیدہ رو نوجوان تھے اس لیے بوقت رخصت ان سے فرماتے ہیں کہ پیارے بچو تم سب شہر کے ایک دروازے سے شہر میں نہ جانا بلکہ مختلف دروازوں سے ایک ایک دو دو کر کے جانا۔ نظر کا لگ جانا حق ہے۔ گھوڑ سوار کو یہ گرا دیتی ہے۔ پھر ساتھ ہی فرماتے ہیں کہ یہ میں جانتا ہوں اور میرا ایمان ہے کہ یہ تدبیر تقدیر میں ہیر پھیر نہیں کر سکتی۔ اللہ کی قضاء کو کوئی شخص کسی تدبیر سے بدل نہیں سکتا۔ اللہ کا چاہا پورا ہو کر ہی رہتا ہے۔ حکم اسی کا چلتا ہے۔ کون ہے جو اس کے ارادے کو بدل سکے؟ اس کے فرمان کو ٹال سکے؟ اس کی قضاء کو لوٹا سکے؟ میرا بھروسہ اسی پر ہے اور مجھ پر ہی کیا موقوف ہے۔ ہر ایک توکل کرنے والے کو اسی پر توکل کرنا چاہیئے۔ چنانچہ بیٹوں نے باپ کی فرماں برداری کی اور اسی طرح کئی ایک دروازوں میں بٹ گئے اور شہر میں پہنچے۔ اس طرح وہ اللہ کی قضاء کو لوٹا نہیں سکتے تھے ہاں یعقوب علیہ السلام نے ایک ظاہری تدبیر پوری کی کہ اس سے وہ نظر بد سے بچ جائیں۔ وہ ذی علم تھے، الہامی علم ان کے پاس تھا۔ [تفسیر ابن جریر الطبری:250/7] ‏ ہاں اکثر لوگ ان باتوں کو نہیں جانتے۔صفحہ نمبر4042

مَا كَانَ يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِيْ نَفْسِ يَعْقُوْبَ قَضٰىهَاحضرت یعقوب کے دل میں ایک کھٹک تھی جسے دور کرنے کے لیے آپ نے یہ تدبیر اختیار کی کہ اپنے بیٹوں کو ہدایت کردی کہ وہ ایک دروازے سے داخل ہونے کی بجائے مختلف دروازوں سے داخل ہوں لیکن آپ کی یہ تدبیر اللہ کے کسی فیصلے پر اثر انداز نہیں ہوسکتی تھی۔

Classical Tafsir: Ma'arif al-Qur'an en

This subject has been taken up in the succeeding verse where it is said that the sons carried out the instructions of their father and entered the city from different gates. When they did so, the desire of their father stood fulfilled - though, this measure taken by him could not avert anything already destined by Allah. But, as for the paternal love and concern of Sayyidna Ya` qub (علیہ السلام) for his sons, this he did demonstrate to his heart's content.Towards the end of the verse, Sayyidna Ya` qub (علیہ السلام) has been praised in the following words: وَإِنَّهُ لَذُو عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنَاهُ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ‌ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ (He was a man of knowledge, because We had taught him, but most of the people do not know - 68). It means that his knowledge was not acquired. It did not come from books. Instead, it was directly a Divine gift. Therefore, he did employ physical means, something legally required, and commendable. But, he did not place his total trust in it. However, the truth is that most of the people do not know the reality behind it. Thus unaware, they would fall in doubts about Sayyidna Ya` qub (علیہ السلام) thinking that the employment of these means did not match the station of a prophet.Some commentators have said that the first word: عِلم : knowledge) means acting in accordance with the dictate of ` ilm (knowledge). The translation in this case will be: "He was a man of action according to the knowledge We gave him". Therefore, he did not place his trust in material means, in fact, it was Allah alone he relied on and trusted in.'
