LessonsĪjāz al-Ḥadhf: Forms of Ellipsis and Evidence for Recovering the OmittedQuiz

﴿أَنَا أُنَبِّئُكُمْ بِتَأْوِيلِهِ فَأَرْسِلُونِ﴾
I can tell you its interpretation, so send me. (Yūsuf 12:45)

The narrative immediately moves to the direct address:

﴿يُوسُفُ أَيُّهَا الصِّدِّيقُ﴾
Joseph, O truthful one! (Yūsuf 12:46)

The transition leaves several events unexpressed: permission was granted, the messenger departed, arrived before Joseph, and addressed him. This is omission of several clauses, recoverable from the narrative sequence.

The story bypasses routine intermediate stages and reaches the decisive dialogue directly.
