The Noble Son. Yusuf ibn Yaqub ibn Ishaaq ibn Ibrahim al Khaleel. قَالَ اجْعَلْنِى عَلَى خَزَآئِنِ الاٌّرْضِ إِنِّى حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ وَكَذَلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى الاٌّرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ وَلاَ نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ Yusuf said: Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land, to take possession therein, as when or where he likes. We bestow of Our Mercy on whom We please, and We make not to be lost the reward of Al-Muhsinun Surah Yusuf, 53 and 54 Ibn Jarir At-Tabari narrated from As-Suddi: “The King employed Yusuf over Egypt and he was the person in authority and he used to supervise the buying and the trade and all of its matters. So that was His saying: “Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land, to take possession therein, as when or where he likes.” And he narrated from Ibn Zayd concerning: “…to take possession therein, as when or where he likes…” : “We put him in authority over whatever was in it (i.e. Egypt), wherever he willed from that place. He did in it whatever he willed. It was granted to him.” Al-Qurtubi narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “So he sat upon his bed and the Kings approached him. And the King entered his home with his women and the authority of Egypt was granted to him.” Al-Qurtubi said: “And when the King gave the authority of Egypt to Yusuf, he was generous to the people and called them to Islaam until they believed in him and he established the justice amongst them. So the men and the women loved him. And from what has come from Wahb and As-Suddi and Ibn ‘Abbas and others is the saying of the King to Yusuf, when he saw his complete wisdom in implementing the ruling and spreading the justice: “I give you the authority, so do whatever you will. And we are merely your followers and I am not one to refuse being your subject and obeying you and I am no more than one of your subjects.” Al Jami’ LiAh’kam Al Qur’an 9/215 Ibn Jarir At-Tabari narrated that Mujahid said, “The King whom Yusuf was with entered Islam.” Jami’ Al-Bayan ‘Atta’wil al-Qur’an 9/217 Al-Baghawi said, “Mujahid and others said, ‘Yusuf, upon whom be peace, did not stop calling the King to Islam while being kind to him, until he and many of the people entered Islam.”
