وَكَذَلِكَ
مَكَّنَّا
لِيُوسُفَ
فِي
الْأَرْضِ
يَتَبَوَّأُ
مِنْهَا
حَيْثُ
يَشَاءُ
نُصِيبُ
بِرَحْمَتِنَا
مَن
نَّشَاءُ
وَلَا
نُضِيعُ
أَجْرَ
الْمُحْسِنِينَ

Thus did We give established power to Joseph in the land, to take possession therein as, when, or where he pleased. We bestow of our Mercy on whom We please, and We suffer not, to be lost, the reward of those who do good.
— Abdullah Yusufali
That is how We established Joseph in the land that he may settle in it wherever he wished. We confer Our mercy on whomever We wish, and We do not waste the reward of the virtuous.
