'In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful' He, the Exalted, said: "And the one who bought him from Egypt said to his wife, 'Make his stay comfortable. Perhaps he may benefit us or we may adopt him as a son.' And thus We established Yusuf in the land, and We taught him the interpretation of dreams. And Allah is dominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know." "And when he reached maturity, We gave him judgment and knowledge. And thus We reward the doers of good." It has been narrated that the buyer of Yusuf - who is either the one coming from his brothers or the merchant from the incoming traders, as previously mentioned in the differing opinions - came to Egypt, the well-known city, and therefore it does not decline. He presented him in the market, and he was the most handsome of people. There was a bidding for him until the price reached a great amount. It was said: his weight was in gold, silver, and silk. The Aziz bought him, and he was the king's chamberlain and treasurer. The name of the king is said to be Al-Rayan ibn Al-Walid, and it is said: Mus'ab ibn Al-Rayan, and he is one of the Pharaohs. It is said that he is the Pharaoh of Musa, who lived until his time. The judge Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: This is weak, because Yusuf's appearance, peace be upon him, was not in the time of a disbeliever whom Yusuf served. The name of the mentioned Aziz is Qatifir, as said by Ibn Abbas, and it is said: Atfir, and it is said: Qantur. The name of his wife is Ra'iel, as said by Ibn Ishaq, and it is said: Rabihah, and it is said: Zuleikha. The apparent matter of the Aziz is that he was a disbeliever, and this is indicated by the presence of the idol in his house - as we will mention in the Burhan which Yusuf saw. Mujahid said: The Aziz was a Muslim. And the 'stay' refers to the place of residence, and the 'honoring' is indeed for the one who has a stay, so there is a metaphor in the words. And his saying: "Perhaps he may benefit us" means: by assisting us in the matters of our world and other ways of benefit. And his saying: "or we may adopt him as a son" means: we may take him in adoption, and it is said that he had no children. Then He, the Exalted, said: "And thus," meaning: as We described, "We established Yusuf in the land, and We taught him". The 'stories' refer to dreams, as said by Mujahid, and it is said: the stories of the prophets and the nations. The pronoun in "His affair" may return to Yusuf, as said by Al-Tabari, and it may return to Allah, the Exalted, as said by Ibn Jubair, and it would be a notification of Allah's power, not specific to the affair of Yusuf, but general in every matter. And likewise is the possibility in the saying of the poet: I saw Abu Bakr - and your Lord is dominant over His affair - seeking the caliphate with dates. And most of the people who have been deprived of knowledge are the disbelievers, among them those who have turned away from Yusuf and others who are ignorant of his affair. It has been narrated from Abdullah ibn Mas'ud, may Allah be pleased with him, that he said: The most insightful of people are three: the Aziz when he said to his wife: "Make his stay comfortable," the daughter of Shu'ayb when she said: "Hire him, for the best of those you can hire is the strong and trustworthy," and Abu Bakr when he appointed Umar ibn Al-Khattab, may Allah be pleased with him, as his successor. The judge Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said:

And the insight of the Aziz was indeed in the nobility of Yusuf himself, not that he deduced what was as in the other two examples. For what he deduced came out with his own eyes.

And the 'ashudd: is the completion of strength and the culmination of might. There are two 'ashudd: the first is reaching maturity, and Malik and Rabi'ah expressed it as 'ashudd, and Mundhir ibn Sa'id mentioned it. The second is what the Arabs use, and it was said: it is from eighteen years to sixty years, and this is a weak opinion. It was said: the 'ashudd is reaching forty, and it was said: rather it is thirty-six, and it was said: thirty-three, and this is the most apparent of the opinions in our estimation. It was said: twenty years, and this is weak. And Al-Tabari said: the 'ashudd has no singular form from its wording. And Sibawayh said: 'ashudd is the plural of shiddah, similar to ni'mah and an'um. And Al-Kisai said: 'ashudd is the plural of shadd, similar to qadd and aqudd. And the shadd of the day is its majority and where its daylight is completed.

And His saying, the Exalted: " حكمًا" (a judgment) can mean wisdom and prophethood, and this is at the highest 'ashudd. It can also mean wisdom and knowledge without prophethood, and this is more likely if the story of the seduction follows this. " وعلمًا" (and knowledge) means the interpretation of the hadiths and others. It can be that by His saying: " حكمًا" (a judgment), He means authority in this world and a judgment among the people with the truth, and prophethood and the interpretation of hadiths and others enter into His saying: " وعلمًا" (and knowledge).

And likewise We reward the doers of good. These words contain a promise to the Prophet, blessings and peace be upon him, so let not the actions of the disbelievers against you and their arrogance overwhelm you. For Allah, the Exalted, makes for the doers of good the most beautiful of deeds.
