وَلَمَّا دَخَلُوْا مِنْ حَيْثُ اَمَرَهُمْ اَبُوْهُمْۗ مَا كَانَ يُغْنِيْ عَنْهُمْ مِّنَ اللّٰهِ مِنْ شَيْءٍ اِلَّا حَاجَةً فِيْ نَفْسِ يَعْقُوْبَ قَضٰىهَاۗ وَاِنَّهٗ لَذُوْ عِلْمٍ لِّمَا عَلَّمْنٰهُ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُوْنَ ࣖ
Dan ketika mereka masuk sesuai dengan perintah ayah mereka, (masuknya mereka itu) tidak dapat menolak sedikit pun keputusan Allah, (tetapi itu) hanya suatu keinginan pada diri Yakub yang telah ditetapkannya. Dan sesungguhnya dia mempunyai pengetahuan, karena Kami telah mengajarkan kepadanya. Tetapi kebanyakan manusia tidak mengetahui.

(QS. Yusuf ayat 68)
