During the Mi’raaj, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) met Nabi Yusuf (‘alaihis salaam) in the third heaven. This meeting implied that like Nabi Yusuf (‘alaihis salaam), Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) will also suffer at the hands of his brothers, but he will ultimately prevail over them and forgive them for their wrongs.

Thus, on the day of the Conquest of Makkah Mukarramah, Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) addressed the Quraish in the same manner that Nabi Yusuf (‘alaihis salaam) had addressed his brothers. Rasulullah (sallallahu ‘alaihi wasallam) said to the Quraish:

لَا تَثْرِيْبَ عَلَيْكُمُ الْيَوْمَ يَغْفِرُ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَهُوَ أَرْحَمُ الرّٰحِمِيْنَ اِذْهَبُوْا فَأَنْتُمُ الطُّلَقَاء

There is no reproach (or blame) upon you today. May Allah Ta‘ala forgive you, and He is the Most-Merciful of those who show mercy. You may go, for you are all free!
