Al- Aziz of Egypt (chief Minister) bought him and he told his wife to look after him and care for him as they may take him as a servant or adopt him, because they had no son of their own.
(The man from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, “Take good care of him, perhaps he may be useful to us or we may adopt him as a son.” This is how We established Yusuf pbuh in the land, so that We might teach him the interpretation of dreams. Allah’s Will always prevails, but most people do not know.) Yusuf 12:21
اشتراه عزيز مصر و أمر زوجته بإكرامه لعله ينفعهم كنفع الخادم للمخدوم أو يستمتع به استمتاع الوالد بالولد لأنه كان لا يولد له.
(وَقَالَ الَّذِي اشْتَرَاهُ مِن مِّصْرَ لِامْرَأَتِهِ أَكْرِمِي مَثْوَاهُ عَسَىٰ أَن يَنفَعَنَا أَوْ نَتَّخِذَهُ وَلَدًا ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُ مِن تَأْوِيلِ الْأَحَادِيثِ ۚ وَاللَّـهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰ أَمْرِهِ وَلَـٰكِنَّ أَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا يَعْلَمُونَ )
يوسف 12: 21
