وَجَاءَتْ سَيَّارَةٌ فَأَرْسَلُواْ وَارِدَهُمْ فَأَدْلَى دَلْوَهُ قَالَ يبُشْرَى هَـذَا غُلاَمٌ وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَـعَةً وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ - وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ وَكَانُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ الزَهِدِينَ
(19. And there came a caravan of travelers and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket (into the well). He said: "What good news! Here is a boy.'' So they hid him as merchandise (a slave). And Allah was the All-Knower of what they did.)
(20. And they sold him for a Bakhs price, - for a few Dirhams. And they were of those who regarded him insignificant.)
Allah narrates what happened to Yusuf, peace be upon him, after his brothers threw him down the well and left him in it, alone, where he remained for three days, according to Abu Bakr bin `Ayyash. Muhammad bin Ishaq said, "After Yusuf's brothers threw him down the well, they remained around the well for the rest of the day to see what he might do and what would happen to him. Allah sent a caravan of travelers that camped near that well, and they sent to it the man responsible for drawing water for them. When he approached the well, he lowered his bucket down into it, Yusuf held on to it and the man rescued him and felt happy,
يبُشْرَى هَـذَا غُلاَمٌ
("What good news! Here is a boy.'') Al-`Awfi reported that Ibn `Abbas commented, "Allah's statement,
وَأَسَرُّوهُ بِضَـعَةً
(So they hid him as merchandise), is in reference to Yusuf's brothers, who hid the news that he was their brother. Yusuf hid this news for fear that his brothers might kill him and preferred to be sold instead. Consequently, Yusuf's brothers told the water drawer about him and that man said to his companions,
يبُشْرَى هَـذَا غُلاَمٌ
("What good news! Here is a boy.''), a slave whom we can sell. Therefore, Yusuf's own brothers sold him.'' Allah's statement,
وَاللَّهُ عَلِيمٌ بِمَا يَعْمَلُونَ
(And Allah was the All-Knower of what they did. ) states that Allah knew what Yusuf's brothers, and those who bought him, did. He was able to stop them and prevent them from committing their actions, but out of His perfect wisdom He decreed otherwise. He let them do what they did, so that His decision prevails and His appointed destiny rules,
أَلاَ لَهُ الْخَلْقُ وَالاٌّمْرُ تَبَارَكَ اللَّهُ رَبُّ الْعَـلَمِينَ
(Surely, His is the creation and commandment. Blessed is Allah, the Lord of the all that exists!) 7:54 This reminds Allah's Messenger Muhammad , that Allah has perfect knowledge in the persecution that his people committed against him and that He is able to stop them. However, He decided to give them respite, then give Muhammad the victory and make him prevail over them, just as He gave Yusuf victory and made him prevail over his brothers. Allah said next,
وَشَرَوْهُ بِثَمَنٍ بَخْسٍ دَرَهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ
(And they sold him for a Bakhs price, - for a few Dirhams) in reference to Yusuf's brothers selling him for a little price, according to Mujahid and `Ikrimah. `Bakhs' means decreased, just as Allah the Exalted said in another Ayah,
فَلاَ يَخَافُ بَخْساً وَلاَ رَهَقاً
(shall have no fear, either of a Bakhs (a decrease in the reward of his good deeds) or a Rahaq (an increase in the punishment for his sins).) 72:13 meaning that Yusuf's brothers exchanged him for a miserably low price. Yet, he was so insignificant to them that had the caravan people wanted him for free, they would have given him for free to them! Ibn `Abbas, Mujahid and Ad-Dahhak said that,
(And they sold him), is in reference to Yusuf's brothers. They sold Yusuf for the lowest price, as indicated by Allah's statement next,
دَرَهِمَ مَعْدُودَةٍ
(for a few Dirhams), twenty Dirhams, according to `Abdullah bin Mas`ud. Similar was said by Ibn `Abbas, Nawf Al-Bikali, As-Suddi, Qatadah and `Atiyah Al-`Awfi, who added that they divided the Dirhams among themselves, each getting two Dirhams. Ad-Dahhak commented on Allah's statement,
وَكَانُواْ فِيهِ مِنَ الزَهِدِينَ
(And they were of those who regarded him insignificant.) "Because they had no knowledge of his prophethood and glorious rank with Allah, the Exalted and Most Honored.''

Menurut Ibnu Masâud, mereka menjualnya seharga 20 dirham. Sedangkan menurut âIkrimah, mereka menjualnya seharga 40 dirham, walahu aâlam.
Mereka di sini bisa kembalinya kepada sekelompok musafir, yakni mereka tidak tertarik kepada Yusuf karena dia anak temuan dalam perjalanan. Mereka khawatir kalau pemiliknya datang mengambilnya. Oleh karena itu, mereka segera menjualnya meskipun dangan harga yang murah. Bisa juga kata âmerekaâ di sini kembalinya kepada saudara-saudara Yusuf karena mereka membencinya, wallahu aâlam.
