Now with him there came into the prison two young men. Said one of them: "I see myself (in a dream) pressing wine." said the other: "I see myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head, and birds are eating, thereof." "Tell us" (they said) "The truth and meaning thereof: for we see thou art one that doth good (to all)."

He said: "Before any food comes (in due course) to feed either of you, I will surely reveal to you the truth and meaning of this ere it befall you: that is part of the (duty) which my Lord hath taught me. I have (I assure you) abandoned the ways of a people that believe not in Allah and that (even) deny the Hereafter.

But the man who had been released, one of the two (who had been in prison) and who now bethought him after (so long) a space of time, said: "I will tell you the truth of its interpretation: send ye me (therefore)."

有两个青年和他一同入狱，这个说：“我确已梦见我榨葡萄汁（酿酒）。”那个说：“我确已梦见我的头上顶著一个大饼，众鸟飞来啄食。请你替我们圆梦，我们的确认为你是行善的。”

他说：“无论谁送什么食物给你俩之前，我能告诉你们送的是什么。这是我的主教给我的。有一个民族不信仰真主，不信仰后世，我确已抛弃他们的宗教。

曾被赦宥并且在一个时期之后想起优素福的那个青年说：“我将告诉你们关于这个梦的意思，请你们派我去吧。”
