اور اس نے اپنے والدین کو عزت کے ساتھ تخت پر بٹھایا اور وہ سب اس کی خاطر سجدہ ریز ہو گئے۔ اور اس نے کہا اے میرے باپ! یہ تعبیر تھی میری پہلے سے دیکھی ہوئی رؤیا کی۔ میرے ربّ نے اسے یقیناً سچ کر دکھایا اور مجھ پر بہت احسان کیا جب اس نے مجھے قید خانہ سے نکالا اور تمہیں صحرا سے لے آیا بعد اس کے کہ شیطان نے میرے اور میرے بھائیوں کے درمیان رخنہ ڈال دیا تھا۔ یقیناً میرا ربّ جس کے لئے چاہے بہت لطف و احسان کرنے والا ہے۔ بے شک وہی دائمی علم رکھنے والا (اور) بہت حکمت والا ہے۔

Et Il m’a accordé une grâce lorsqu’Il m’a tiré de la prison et lorsqu’Il vous a fait venir du désert après que Satan eût fomenté la discorde entre moi et mes frères. Assurément, mon Seigneur est Bienveillant envers qui Il veut ; car Il est l’Omniscient, le Sage. »

English - Five Volume Commentary ^*

1600

Commentary:

As the word رفع (raised) also means, "to present one to a person of high rank" (3:56), the verse is capable of two interpretations: Firstly, that Joseph presented his parents to the King, for in this case العرش (the throne) would signify the King. According to the Bible, Joseph presented his father and some of his brethren to Pharaoh (Gen. 47:2, 7). Secondly, it may mean that Joseph made his parents sit on his own throne, for in ancient times the deputies of kings also used to have their own thrones. Hence it is possible that Joseph made his parents and his brethren sit on his throne with Pharaoh’s permission.

The words خروا له سجدا do not mean that Joseph’s brothers and his parents fell prostrate before him. They only mean that they fell prostrate before God for Joseph i.e. they thanked God for raising Joseph to such an eminent position. Thus, Joseph was the cause and not the object of their prostration. See also 2:35.

The verse also throws some light on the sublime morals of God’s noble Prophets. Joseph’s brothers had left their home in search of food, but he speaks of their coming to him as a special favour of God to himself.

Again, while mentioning God’s favours he refers only to his being taken out of prison and makes no mention of being rescued from the well, lest his brothers might feel ashamed.

The word لطیف (Benignant) when applied to God, means, He Who takes care of His creatures through love or benevolence or Who benefits others with His love and kindness; He Who knows hidden things. See also 6:104.

English - Short Commentary Notes ^*

1411

The words may mean that Joseph presented his parents to the King (Gen. 47: 2, 7) or that he made them sit on his own throne with the King’s permission. In olden times the ministers and deputies of kings also had their own thrones.

1412

Joseph’s brothers and parents fell prostrate and thanked God for raising Joseph to such an eminent position. Thus Joseph was the cause, and not the object, of their prostration.

1413

While mentioning God’s favours Joseph refers only to his being taken out of prison and makes no mention of being rescued from the well, lest his brothers should feel ashamed.

English - Pickthall

And he placed his parents on the dais and they fell down before him prostrate, and he said: O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream of old. My Lord hath made it true, and He hath shown me kindness, since He took me out of the prison and hath brought you from the desert after Satan had made strife between me and my brethren. Lo! my Lord is tender unto whom He will. He is the Knower, the Wise.

English - Muhammad Ali ^ra

And he raised his parents on the throne, and they fell prostrate for his sake. And he said: O my father, this is the significance of my vision of old -- my Lord has made it true. And He was indeed kind to me, when He brought me forth from the prison, and brought you from the desert after the devil had sown dissensions between me and my brethren. Surely my Lord is Benignant to whom He pleases. Truly He is the Knowing, the Wise.

English - Sir Muhammad Zafrullah Khan ^ra

He installed his parents in the place of honour and they all fell down prostrate before Allah in gratitude for His favours to him. Joseph said: Father, this is the fulfilment of my dream of old. My Lord has made it come true. He was indeed gracious unto me for He took me out of prison and appointed me to a place of honour and brought you from the desert after Satan had brought about discord between me and my brethren. Surely, my Lord is benignly Gracious unto whomsoever He pleases, for He is the All-Knowing, the Wise.
