Allah's Prophet Ya`qub receives the Grievous NewsAllah's Prophet Ya`qub repeated to his children the same words he said to them when they brought false blood on Yusuf' shirt,بَلْ سَوَّلَتْ لَكُمْ أَنفُسُكُمْ أَمْرًا فَصَبْرٌ جَمِيلٌ(Nay, but your own selves have beguiled you into something. So patience is most fitting (for me).
