Quote: {12:4} [Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me." أبت is an endearment of "my father." I'd like to carry that semantic in the translation, {12:4} [Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my dear father, verily, I have seen [in a dream] eleven planets and the sun and the moon; I saw them to me prostrating." Quote: {12:5} He said, "O my son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy. Likewise, بني is an endearment of "my son". I suggest, {12:5} He said, "O my dear son, do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plot. Indeed Satan, to man, is a manifest enemy. |

I agree with the endearment in both cases. The only remark is why "mention" in the explanatory [Of these stories mention]? I would say [Of these stories is]. |
