Aya 21
21
وَقالَ الَّذِي اشتَراهُ مِن مِصرَ لِامرَأَتِهِ أَكرِمي مَثواهُ عَسىٰ أَن يَنفَعَنا أَو نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا ۚ وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنّا لِيوسُفَ فِي الأَرضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأويلِ الأَحاديثِ ۚ وَاللَّهُ غالِبٌ عَلىٰ أَمرِهِ وَلٰكِنَّ أَكثَرَ النّاسِ لا يَعلَمونَ

(Irfan-ul-Quran)

And the man in Egypt who purchased him (was Qatfir by name, the finance minister of the King of Egypt Riyan ibn Walid, commonly known as ‘Aziz [of Egypt]) said to his wife (Zulaikha): ‘Make him stay honourably. He may bring us profit or we may adopt him as a son.’ Thus We established Yusuf (Joseph) and strengthened his position in the land [of Egypt] so that We might teach him how to infer from the events (i.e. the interpretation of dreams). And Allah is the Master of His work but most people do not know.
