وقال الذي اشتراه من مصر لامراته اكرمي مثواه عسى ان ينفعنا او نتخذه ولدا وكذلك مكنا ليوسف في الارض ولنعلمه من تاويل الاحاديث والله غالب على امره ولكن اكثر الناس لا يعلمون

The man in Egypt Who bought him, said To his wife: "Make his stay (Among us) honourable: Maybe he will bring us Much good, or we shall Adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, That We might teach him The interpretation of stories (And events). And God Hath full power and control Over His affairs; but most Among mankind know it not.
