(Jacob) said: "Never will I send him with you until ye swear a solemn oath to me, in Allah's name, that ye will be sure to bring him back to me unless ye are yourselves hemmed in (and made powerless). And when they had sworn their solemn oath, he said: "Over all that we say, be Allah the witness and guardian!"

Babaları: "Hepiniz helak olmadıkça onu bana geri getireceğinize dair Allah'a karşı sağlam bir söz vermezseniz, sizinle göndermeyeceğim" dedi. Söz verdiklerinde: "Sözümüze Allah vekildir" dedi.
