So when they saw that what they had thought would happen after Yusuf's departure had escaped them, and this great disaster had befallen their father, the listener longed to hear their words to him. So they began to inform about him by saying: "They said," meaning in anger from that. "By Allah," meaning the greatest king, an oath in which there is astonishment. "You do not cease to remember Yusuf," meaning you are still eager to mention him, strong in your eagerness like a young, resilient, patient man for his desire, "until" meaning until you become "in a state of despair," meaning present at the brink of destruction, nearing it, preparing for it with bodily weakness and mental confusion - as was explained in Al-Anfal regarding "Encourage the believers to fight" [Al-Anfal: 65]. "Or you will be" meaning a necessary state that is like a natural disposition "among the doomed."
