Ayah: 21

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِي ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصۡرَ لِٱمۡرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكۡرِمِي مَثۡوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأۡوِيلِ ٱلۡأَحَادِيثِۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ

21. The man from Egypt6 who bought him said to his spouse: "Make comfortable his stay, maybe he will be useful to us, or we may adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land (of Egypt), so that We might teach him the interpretation of discourses (events and dreams). Allāh always prevails in His purpose, but most people do not know.

6. Potiphar, one of Pharaoh’s officials.
