And the one from Egypt who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events. And Allah is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.

Et celui qui l'acheta était de l'Egypte. Il dit à sa femme: «Accorde lui une généreuse hospitalité.

Et Allah est souverain en Son Commandement: mais la plupart des gens ne savent pas.
