[Pooya/Ali Commentary 12:31] (see commentary for verse 3) [Hasha lillah is a phrase which denotes remoteness from imperfection or the like, or freedom therefrom; generally implying wonder or admiration-How far (or how free) is Allah from every imperfection! It implies wonder at the power of Allah as manifested in the creation of a beautiful person like Yusuf.] The women all agreed that no man had a right to resist their solicitations, so Zulaykha, in her tragic guilt, threatened Yusuf with imprisonment and disgrace. Yet, inspite of having seen the clear proofs of his innocence, the men, as a political move, sent him to prison for a time, until the scandalous gossip of the town regarding the high official's wife had ceased. There came into the prison two young men with him. They were employed in the court of Firawn. One was a cup-bearer, and the other was a cook. They were both in disgrace. The former dreamed that he was pressing grapes, the latter that he was carrying bread, but the birds ate of it. They saw in Yusuf a man of Cod endowed with His wisdom, therefore told him their dreams and asked him to interpret them. Refer to verse 21. First Yusuf taught the truth of Allah and the faith in the hereafter to both men. It was his mission, his duty. The highest good he could do to them was to teach the polytheist Egyptians the gospel of unity of Allah. He had the heritage of great men renowned for wisdom and truth such as Ibrahim, Is-haq and Yaqub, whose faith he followed, and all of them never associated anyone with Allah- belief in one Allah is a grace of Allah to mankind. All false gods are nothing but names that polytheists have named for which there is no divine sanction. Sovereignty belongs to Allah alone, therefore, worship none but Him-this is the right religion.
