Prophet Yūsuf: Part 2 — The Storehouses and the King’s Cup
Section 11 of 29 · Lives of the Prophets
High in Rank and Fully Trusted
وَقَالَ ٱلْمَلِكُ ٱئْتُونِى بِهِۦٓ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى ۖ فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُۥ قَالَ إِنَّكَ ٱلْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مَكِينٌ أَمِينٌ
“The king said, “Bring him to me, and I shall employ him purely for myself.” So, when he (the king) talked to him, he said (to Yūsuf), “Today you are with us well-placed, fully trusted.”” (12:54)
Now the king said: bring him to me, that I may attach him to my person. So they brought Yūsuf (peace be upon him) out of prison, honoured, with his innocence established, and now he was with the king and spoke with him. The king was even more impressed with him once he had spoken with him. When he spoke to him, he said: truly, this day you are with us, high in rank and fully trusted. Now I trust you fully, and now I will give you authority.
