And the King said: "You bring him to me." So when the messenger
came to him, he said: "Go back to your lord, then ask him- "What
is the condition of the ladies who cut their hands". Surely my
Rabb is Knower of their plot." |
| 51
He told: "What was your affair when you desired Yusuf to yield
himself?" They said: "Blameless be Allah! we do not know
of any evil on his part." The wife of the Aziz said: "Now
the truth has come out. I desired him to yield himself, and he is
most surely of the truthful ones." |
| 52
"This,- that he may know that I have never been unfaithful to
him in absence, and that Allah surely does not guide the device of
the unfaithful ones." |

"And I do not hold my soul free from weakness. Certainly the
soul is indeed prone to evil, excepting whom my Rabb has mercy. Surely
my Rabb is Protector, most Rewarding." |

And the King said: "Bring him to me. I shall select him for myself."
So that when he had talked to him he said: "Surely you are in
our presence this day dignified and trusted." |
| 55
He said: "Appoint me over the treasures of the land. Truly I
am a good keeper, knowing well." |
| 56
And likewise We granted establishment to Yusuf in the land. He had
mastery in it wherever he liked. We bestow Our mercy to whom We please,
and We do not waste the reward of the doers of good. |
| 57
And the reward of the Hereafter is of course better for those who
believe and practise reverence. |

(The butler informed the Council the interpretation of the dream)
and the King (finding out its source, wanted to see Yusuf,
and) said: "You bring him (the actual interpreter
of the dream) to me." So when the messenger (from
the King) came to him, he (-Yusuf) said: "(By
no means! I prefer to remain in prison, until my innocence is
established; hence) go back to your lord, then ask him- "What
is the condition of the ladies who cut their hands"
(as I want to be safe from them, and also exonerated). Surely
my Rabb is Knower of their plot (of alluring me, and then
putting me to jail)." |
| 51
He (-the King, sent for the ladies, and) told (them):
"What was your affair when you desired Yusuf to yield
himself (to you)?" (Then, because, truth gives
a short answer, lies go round about) they said: "Blameless
be Allah! we do not know of any evil on his part." The
wife of the Aziz said: "Now the truth has come out (into
light). I desired him to yield himself, and he is most surely
of the truthful ones (and thus the trumpet of virtue sounded
by itself)." |
| 52
"This," (said Yusuf) "(I asked
for,) that he (-Aziz) may know that I have never been
unfaithful to him in (his) absence (towards his wife),
and that Allah surely does not guide (to success) the
device of the unfaithful ones." |

(Yusuf went on telling in the court of the King:) "And
I do not hold my soul free from weakness. Certainly the soul
(of man) is indeed prone to evil (due to the influence
of his animal passions), excepting (those souls on) whom
my Rabb has mercy (for guiding him from the Ammarah or the
"Animal Stage" into the Lawwamah or the "Human
Stage" in the spiritual advancement, 75:2, and finally
to the Mutma'innah or the "Heavenly Stage" of perfection,
89:27-30). Surely my Rabb is Protector (against
all shortcomings), most Rewarding (for raising us from
the Animal Stage into the Heavenly Stage)." |
| 54
And (now Yusuf's innocence and wisdom being proved) the
King (became impressed and) said: "Bring him to
me. I shall select him for myself (as my trusty and confidential
Wazir or minister)." So that when he had talked to him
he (-the King) said: "Surely you are in our presence
this day dignified and trusted." |
| 55
He (voluntarily came forward to shoulder the responsibilities
of facing the hard days, and) said: "Appoint me over
the treasures (-the granaries and stores) of the land
(,-the hardest and most unpopular work, so that I would organize
reserves in times of plenty against lean years to come). Truly
I am a good keeper (of the treasures), knowing well
(their importance)." |
| 56
And likewise (as he had desired) We granted establishment
to Yusuf in the land (of Egypt, one of the greatest empires
of the world in those days, even though he was once sold into
slavery there). He had mastery in it wherever he liked
(because he became the most trusted dignitary). We bestow
Our mercy to (the deserving one-) whom We please, and
We do not waste the reward of the doers of good (to others,
53:41). |
| 57
And (all's well that ends well, hence) the reward
of the Hereafter is of course better (than that is given
in this world) for those who believe and practise reverence
(3:135). |
