Sahih International
Indeed,  We  have  sent  it  down  as  an  Arabic  Qur'an  that  you  might  understand.
Sahih International
We  relate  to  you,  [O  Muhammad],  the  best  of  stories  in  what  We  have  revealed  to  you of  this  Qur'an  although  you  were,  before  it,  among  the  unaware.
Sahih International
[Of  these  stories  mention]  when  Joseph  said  to  his  father,  "O  my  father,  indeed  I  have seen  [in  a  dream]  eleven  stars  and  the  sun  and  the  moon;  I  saw  them  prostrating  to me."
Sahih International
He  said,  "O  my  son,  do  not  relate  your  vision  to  your  brothers  or  they  will  contrive against  you  a  plan.  Indeed  Satan,  to  man,  is  a  manifest  enemy.
Sahih International
And  thus  will  your  Lord  choose  you  and  teach  you  the  interpretation  of  narratives  and complete  His  favor  upon  you  and  upon  the  family  of  Jacob,  as  He  completed  it  upon your  fathers  before,  Abraham  and  Isaac.  Indeed,  your  Lord  is  Knowing  and  Wise."
Sahih International
Certainly  were  there  in  Joseph  and  his  brothers  signs  for  those  who  ask,
Sahih International
When  they  said,  "Joseph  and  his  brother  are  more  beloved  to  our  father  than  we,  while we  are  a  clan.  Indeed,  our  father  is  in  clear  error.
Sahih International
Kill  Joseph  or  cast  him  out  to  [another]  land;  the  countenance  of  your  father  will  [then] be  only  for  you,  and  you  will  be  after  that  a  righteous  people."
Sahih International
Said  a  speaker  among  them,  "Do  not  kill  Joseph  but  throw  him  into  the  bottom  of  the well;  some  travelers  will  pick  him  up  -   if  you  would  do  [something]."
Sahih International
They  said,  "O  our  father,  why  do  you  not  entrust  us  with  Joseph  while  indeed,  we  are to  him  sincere  counselors?
Sahih International
Send  him  with  us  tomorrow  that  he  may  eat  well  and  play.  And  indeed,  we  will  be  his guardians.
Sahih International
[Jacob]  said,  "Indeed,  it  saddens  me  that  you  should  take  him,  and  I  fear  that  a  wolf would  eat  him  while  you  are  of  him  unaware."
Sahih International
They  said,  "  If  a  wolf  should  eat  him  while  we  are  a  [strong]  clan,  indeed,  we  would then  be  losers."
Sahih International
So  when  they  took  him  [out]  and  agreed  to  put  him  into  the  bottom  of  the  well...   But We  inspired  to  him,  "You  will  surely  inform  them  [someday]  about  this  affair  of  theirs while  they  do  not  perceive  [your  identity]."
Sahih International
They  said,  "O  our  father,  indeed  we  went  racing  each  other  and  left  Joseph  with  our possessions,  and  a  wolf  ate  him.  But  you  would  not  believe  us,  even  if  we  were truthful."
Sahih International
And  they  brought  upon  his  shirt  false  blood.  [Jacob]  said,  "Rather,  your  souls  have enticed  you  to  something,  so  patience  is  most  fitting.  And Allah is  the  one  sought  for help  against  that  which  you  describe."
Sahih International
And  there  came  a  company  of  travelers;  then  they  sent  their  water  drawer,  and  he  let down  his  bucket.  He  said,  "Good  news!  Here  is  a  boy."  And  they  concealed  him,  [taking him]  as  merchandise;  and Allah was  knowing  of  what  they  did.
Sahih International
And  they  sold  him  for  a  reduced  price  -   a  few  dirhams  -   and  they  were,  concerning him,  of  those  content  with  little.
Sahih International
And  the  one  from  Egypt  who  bought  him  said  to  his  wife,  "Make  his  residence comfortable.  Perhaps  he  will  benefit  us,  or  we  will  adopt  him  as  a  son."  And  thus,  We established  Joseph  in  the  land  that  We  might  teach  him  the  interpretation  of  events. And Allah is  predominant  over  His  affair,  but  most  of  the  people  do  not  know.
Sahih International
And  when  Joseph  reached  maturity,  We  gave  him  judgment  and  knowledge.  And  thus We  reward  the  doers  of  good.
Sahih International
And  she,  in  whose  house  he  was,  sought  to  seduce  him.  She  closed  the  doors  and said,  "Come,  you."  He  said,  "[I  seek]  the  refuge  of Allah .  Indeed,  he  is  my  master,  who has  made  good  my  residence.  Indeed,  wrongdoers  will  not  succeed."
Sahih International
And  she  certainly  determined  [to  seduce]  him,  and  he  would  have  inclined  to  her  had he  not  seen  the  proof  of  his  Lord.  And  thus  [it  was]  that  We  should  avert  from  him  evil and  immorality.  Indeed,  he  was  of  Our  chosen  servants.
Sahih International
And  they  both  raced  to  the  door,  and  she  tore  his  shirt  from  the  back,  and  they  found her  husband  at  the  door.  She  said,  "What  is  the  recompense  of  one  who  intended  evil for  your  wife  but  that  he  be  imprisoned  or  a  painful  punishment?"
Sahih International
[Joseph]  said,  "It  was  she  who  sought  to  seduce  me."  And  a  witness  from  her  family testified.  "If  his  shirt  is  torn  from  the  front,  then  she  has  told  the  truth,  and  he  is  of the  liars.
Sahih International
But  if  his  shirt  is  torn  from  the  back,  then  she  has  lied,  and  he  is  of  the  truthful."
Sahih International
So  when  her  husband  saw  his  shirt  torn  from  the  back,  he  said,  "Indeed,  it  is  of  the women's  plan.  Indeed,  your  plan  is  great.
Sahih International
Joseph,  ignore  this.  And,  [my  wife],  ask  forgiveness  for  your  sin.  Indeed,  you  were  of the  sinful."
Sahih International
And  women  in  the  city  said,  "The  wife  of  al-'Azeez  is  seeking  to  seduce  her  slave  boy; he  has  impassioned  her  with  love.  Indeed,  we  see  her  [to  be]  in  clear  error."
Sahih International
So  when  she  heard  of  their  scheming,  she  sent  for  them  and  prepared  for  them  a banquet  and  gave  each  one  of  them  a  knife  and  said  [to  Joseph],  "Come  out  before them."  And  when  they  saw  him,  they  greatly  admired  him  and  cut  their  hands  and said,  "Perfect  is Allah !  This  is  not  a  man;  this  is  none  but  a  noble  angel."
Sahih International
She  said,  "That  is  the  one  about  whom  you  blamed  me.  And  I  certainly  sought  to seduce  him,  but  he  firmly  refused;  and  if  he  will  not  do  what  I  order  him,  he  will  surely be  imprisoned  and  will  be  of  those  debased."
Sahih International
He  said,  "My  Lord,  prison  is  more  to  my  liking  than  that  to  which  they  invite  me.  And if  You  do  not  avert  from  me  their  plan,  I  might  incline  toward  them  and  [thus]  be  of  the ignorant."
Sahih International
So  his  Lord  responded  to  him  and  averted  from  him  their  plan.  Indeed,  He  is  the Hearing,  the  Knowing.
Sahih International
Then  it  appeared  to  them  after  they  had  seen  the  signs  that  al-'Azeez  should  surely imprison  him  for  a  time.
Sahih International
And  there  entered  the  prison  with  him  two  young  men.  One  of  them  said,  "Indeed,  I have  seen  myself  [in  a  dream]  pressing  wine."  The  other  said,  "Indeed,  I  have  seen myself  carrying  upon  my  head  [some]  bread,  from  which  the  birds  were  eating.  Inform us  of  its  interpretation;  indeed,  we  see  you  to  be  of  those  who  do  good."
Sahih International
He  said,  "You  will  not  receive  food  that  is  provided  to  you  except  that  I  will  inform  you of  its  interpretation  before  it  comes  to  you.  That  is  from  what  my  Lord  has  taught  me. Indeed,  I  have  left  the  religion  of  a  people  who  do  not  believe  in Allah ,  and  they,  in  the Hereafter,  are  disbelievers.
Sahih International
And  I  have  followed  the  religion  of  my  fathers,  Abraham,  Isaac  and  Jacob.  And  it  was not  for  us  to  associate  anything  with Allah .  That  is  from  the  favor  of Allah upon  us  and upon  the  people,  but  most  of  the  people  are  not  grateful.
Sahih International
O  [my]  two  companions  of  prison,  are  separate  lords  better  or Allah ,  the  One,  the Prevailing?
Sahih International
You  worship  not  besides  Him  except  [mere]  names  you  have  named  them,  you  and your  fathers,  for  which Allah has  sent  down  no  authority.  Legislation  is  not  but  for Allah .  He  has  commanded  that  you  worship  not  except  Him.  That  is  the  correct religion,  but  most  of  the  people  do  not  know.
Sahih International
O  two  companions  of  prison,  as  for  one  of  you,  he  will  give  drink  to  his  master  of  wine; but  as  for  the  other,  he  will  be  crucified,  and  the  birds  will  eat  from  his  head.  The matter  has  been  decreed  about  which  you  both  inquire."
Sahih International
And  he  said  to  the  one  whom  he  knew  would  go  free,  "Mention  me  before  your  master." But  Satan  made  him  forget  the  mention  [to]  his  master,  and  Joseph  remained  in prison  several  years.
Sahih International
And  [subsequently]  the  king  said,  "Indeed,  I  have  seen  [in  a  dream]  seven  fat  cows being  eaten  by  seven  [that  were]  lean,  and  seven  green  spikes  [of  grain]  and  others [that  were]  dry.  O  eminent  ones,  explain  to  me  my  vision,  if  you  should  interpret visions."
Sahih International
They  said,  "[It  is  but]  a  mixture  of  false  dreams,  and  we  are  not  learned  in  the interpretation  of  dreams."
Sahih International
But  the  one  who  was  freed  and  remembered  after  a  time  said,  "I  will  inform  you  of  its interpretation,  so  send  me  forth."
Sahih International
[He  said],  "Joseph,  O  man  of  truth,  explain  to  us  about  seven  fat  cows  eaten  by  seven [that  were]  lean,  and  seven  green  spikes  [of  grain]  and  others  [that  were]  dry  -   that  I may  return  to  the  people;  perhaps  they  will  know  [about  you]."
Sahih International
[Joseph]  said,  "You  will  plant  for  seven  years  consecutively;  and  what  you  harvest leave  in  its  spikes,  except  a  little  from  which  you  will  eat.
Sahih International
Then  will  come  after  that  seven  difficult  [years]  which  will  consume  what  you  saved  for them,  except  a  little  from  which  you  will  store.
Sahih International
Then  will  come  after  that  a  year  in  which  the  people  will  be  given  rain  and  in  which they  will  press  [olives  and  grapes]."
Sahih International
And  the  king  said,  "Bring  him  to  me."  But  when  the  messenger  came  to  him,  [Joseph] said,  "Return  to  your  master  and  ask  him  what  is  the  case  of  the  women  who  cut  their hands.  Indeed,  my  Lord  is  Knowing  of  their  plan."
Sahih International
Said  [the  king  to  the  women],  "What  was  your  condition  when  you  sought  to  seduce Joseph?"  They  said,  "Perfect  is Allah !  We  know  about  him  no  evil."  The  wife  of  al-'Azeez said,  "Now  the  truth  has  become  evident.  It  was  I  who  sought  to  seduce  him,  and indeed,  he  is  of  the  truthful.
Sahih International
That  is  so  al-'Azeez  will  know  that  I  did  not  betray  him  in  [his]  absence  and  that Allah does  not  guide  the  plan  of  betrayers.
Sahih International
And  I  do  not  acquit  myself.  Indeed,  the  soul  is  a  persistent  enjoiner  of  evil,  except those  upon  which  my  Lord  has  mercy.  Indeed,  my  Lord  is  Forgiving  and  Merciful."
Sahih International
And  the  king  said,  "Bring  him  to  me;  I  will  appoint  him  exclusively  for  myself."  And when  he  spoke  to  him,  he  said,  "Indeed,  you  are  today  established  [in  position]  and trusted."
Sahih International
[Joseph]  said,  "Appoint  me  over  the  storehouses  of  the  land.  Indeed,  I  will  be  a knowing  guardian."
