Commentary 12:72 The Holy Qur’ân relates in the above verse that it was a drinking cup - siqâyahالسِّقَايَةَ, which was Josephs own property that was placed in Benjamins…
قَالُوا نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَاءَ بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَا بِهِ زَعِيمٌ
12:72 The Holy Qur’ân relates in the above verse that it was a drinking cup - siqâyahالسِّقَايَةَ, which was Josephs own property that was placed in Benjamins sack; but the vessel that was declared to have been lost by the herald was a Suwa-al-Malik صُوَاعَ الْمَلِكِ, or a kings measuring-vessel, which was the property of the government. Many commentators have confused the two, and wrongly taken Josephs drinking cup (- siqâyah), to be synonymous with the kings measuring vessel (Suwa al-Malik), which the kings heralds were searching for. During their search, they found the drinking cup (siqâyah) belonging to Joseph inside Benjamins bag, but not the kings measuring vessel (Suwa al-Malik).
