12: 68 [story of Yusuf]

Asad ……for, behold, thanks to what We had imparted unto him, he was indeed endowed with the knowledge; but most people know it not.


Yusuf Ali And when they entered in the manner their father had enjoined it did not profit them in the least against (the Plan of) Allah: it was but a necessity of Jacob's soul which he discharged. For he was by Our instruction full of knowledge (and experience): but most men know not.

Pickthall And when they entered in the manner which their father had enjoined, it would have naught availed them as against Allah; it was but a need of Jacob's soul which he thus satisfied; and lo! he was a lord of knowledge because We had taught him; but most of mankind know not.
