Ayah: 4

إِذۡ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَٰٓأَبَتِ إِنِّي رَأَيۡتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوۡكَبٗا وَٱلشَّمۡسَ وَٱلۡقَمَرَ رَأَيۡتُهُمۡ لِي سَٰجِدِينَ

(4) When Yūsuf^[2663] said to his father: “O father! I have seen ˹in a dream˺ eleven planets and the sun and the moon; I ˹actually˺ have seen them prostrating to me!”^[2664]

[2663] Prophet Joseph (عليه السلام) is a very special character in history. Abū Hurayrah (رضي الله عنه) narrated that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The most noble human is Yūsuf, Allah’s Prophet; son of Allah’s Prophet ˹Jacob˺, son of Allah’s Prophet ˹Isaac˺, son of Allah’s close friend ˹Abraham˺” (al-Bukhārī: 4689, Muslim: 2378). As we will see in what comes to be revealed in this story, he is both outstandingly beautiful both inside and outside. Throughout the different stages of his life, his ups and downs as recounted here, Prophet Joseph’s staple characteristic is of him being among the outstanding ‘perfectors’ (al-muḥsinīn cf. Ayas: 22: 36, 56, 78 and 90).
[2664] The story opens with a first line that attracts interest and makes people want to know more and edging to discover. The striking vision of the sun, the moon and eleven planets prostrating captures attention and raises questions that the receiver wants to know the answer to; knowing that some dreams are coded messages. Notably, this dream is only interpreted, by Joseph (عليه السلام) himself, whom God bestowed with the knowledge of interpreting ‘expressions’, at the very end of the story (cf. Ayas: 99-100).
By showing him this vision which promises the great things in store for him, Joseph was being prepared for hard times to come so that he would rest assured that the end would be bright (cf. al-Saʿdī, Ibn ʿĀshūr).
