The Holy Quran 12:36 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ ٱلسِّجْنَ فَتَيَانِ ۖ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَآ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا ۖ وَقَالَ ٱلْـَٔاخَرُ إِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰنِىٓ أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِى خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ ٱلطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ ۖ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِۦٓ ۖ إِنَّا نَرَىٰكَ مِنَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Translation

Two youths entered the prison with him. (One was the king's baker and the other served drinks to the king. They were both imprisoned because one of them attempted to poison the king and blamed the other. Realising that Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام was a noble man who understood the interpretation of dreams) One of them (the one who served drinks) said, "Indeed I see myself (in a dream) squeezing wine." The other (the baker) said, "I see myself carrying bread on my head, from which birds are eating." (They requested) "Inform us of the interpretation. We truly deem (see) you to be of the righteous."

ودخل السجن مع يوسف فَتَيان، قال أحدهما: إني رأيت في المنام أني أعصر عنبًا ليصير خمرًا، وقال الآخر: إني رأيت أني أحمل فوق رأسي خبزًا تأكل الطير منه، أخبرنا -يا يوسف -بتفسير ما رأينا، إنا نراك من الذين يحسنون في عبادتهم لله، ومعاملتهم لخلقه.
