And with him entered the prison two youths. One of them said: "I
indeed saw I press wine." And the other said: "I indeed
saw I carry on my head a loaf, birds were eating therefrom."
"Inform us as to the interpretation thereof; surely we see you
among the doers of good." |
| 37
He said: "They will not bring you two the food with which you
are fed, but I shall inform you the interpretation thereof before
it comes to you. This is out of what my Rabb has taught me. Surely
I have given up the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah,
and they are themselves the Unbelievers in the Hereafter. |
| 38
"And I follow the religion of my forefathers,- Ibrahim and Is-haq
and Ya'qub. It is not for us to associate aught with Allah. This is
by Allah's grace upon us and upon mankind. But most men do not give
thanks. |
| 39
"O my two companions of the prison! are separate lords better,
or Allah- the One, the Dominant? |
| 40
"You do not worship besides Him but names which you and your
forefathers have named,- no authority Allah has sent down therefor.
Judgment belongs to none but Allah. He has commanded that you do not
worship any but Him alone. This is the upright religion, but most
people do not know. |

"O my two companions of the prison! as to one of you, he will
then give to drink wine to his lord; but as to the other, he will
therefore be crucified, so that the birds will eat from his head.
The matter which you two have enquired has been decided so." |
| 42
And he said to him whom he thought to be released of the twain: "Remember
me to the presence of your lord." But the Evil-one made him forget
mentioning to his lord, so that he lingered in the prison for a few
years. |

And with him entered the prison two youths (-the butler
and the baker of the king, Gen. ch. 40). One of them
(-the butler) said "I indeed saw (in a dream) I
press wine." And the other (-the baker) said:
"I indeed saw (in my dream) I carry on my head a
loaf, (and) birds were eating therefrom." (They
said:) "Inform us as to the interpretation thereof;
surely we see you among the doers of good (to other prisoners)." |
| 37
He said (not tantalizing them): "They will not
bring you two the food with which you are fed, but (without
taking much time) I shall inform you the interpretation
thereof before it (-the food) comes to you. This
is out of what my Rabb has taught me (so let me first teach
you Faith, because my mission is far higher than interpreting
dreams). Surely I have given up the religion of a people
(-the Egyptians) who do not believe in Allah, and they are
themselves the Unbelievers in the Hereafter (being
steepen down in materialism). |
| 38
"And I follow the religion of my forefathers,- Ibrahim
(-the Father of the Faithful, 22:78) and Is-haq (my grandfather)
and Ya'qub (my father). It is not for us to associate
aught with Allah. This is by Allah's grace upon us (that
We have learned about His absolute Unity) and upon mankind
(who are being taught so by all His prophets). But most men
do not give thanks (to Allah, and instead invent other false
deities). |
| 39
"O my two companions of the prison! (what do you
say-) are separate (heterogenous) lords better, or
Allah- the One, the Dominant? |
| 40
"You do not worship besides Him but (your concocted)
names which you and your forefathers have named,- no authority
Allah has sent down therefor. Judgment belongs to none
but Allah. He has commanded that you do not worship any but
Him alone. This is the upright religion (which He has revealed
at all time through His rasuls), but most people do not know
(it due to their own heedlessness). |
| 41
"O my two companions of the prison! (now I come
to your point and inform you the interpretation of your dreams:)
as to one of you (-the butler), he will then (be
restored to the service of the king and) give to drink wine
(again) to his lord; but as to the other (-the baker),
he will (be proved guilty, and) therefore be crucified,
so that the birds (like vultures) will eat from his
head (while kept hanging on the cross). The matter which
you two have enquired has been decided so (hence if the
guilty person repents and amends, he will lose by crucifixion
in this life, but gain in the Hereafter)." |
| 42
And he said to him (-the butler) whom he thought to
be released of the twain: "Remember me to the presence
of your lord (-the king, because his own justice is being
violated in detaining me for too long a time, while I have other
duties to do outside for the people of Egypt)." But
(because out of sight, out of mind) the Evil-one made
him forget mentioning (the case of Yusuf) to his lord,
so that he lingered in the prison for a few (more) years. |
