The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: may be he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.

The wife of Pharaoh said: "(Here is) joy of the eye, for me and for thee: slay him not. It may be that he will be use to us, or we may adopt him as a son." And they perceived not (what they were doing)!

那购买他的埃及人对自己的妻子说：“你应当优待他，他也许对我们有好处，或者我们抚养他做义子。”我这样使优素福在大地上获得地位，以便我教他圆梦。真主对于其事务是自主的，但人们大半不知道。

法老的妻子说：“（这）是我和你的慰籍。你们不要杀他，也许他有利于我们，或者我们把他收为义子。”（他们听从她的话），他们不知不觉。
