ولهذا قال لهم : ( هل آمنكم عليه إلا كما أمنتكم على أخيه من قبل ) أي : هل أنتم صانعون به إلا كما صنعتم بأخيه من قبل ، تغيبونه عني ، وتحولون بيني وبينه ؟ ( فالله خير حفظا ) وقرأ بعضهم : " حافظا " ( وهو أرحم الراحمين ) أي : هو أرحم الراحمين بي ، وسيرحم كبري وضعفي ووجدي بولدي ، وأرجو من الله أن يرده علي ، ويجمع شملي به ، إنه أرحم الراحمين .
