Surat Yusuf (42-43)

{وَقَالَ لِلَّذِي ظَنَّ أَنَّهُ نَاجٍ مِّنْهُمَا اذْكُرْنِي عِندَ رَبِّكَ فَأَنسَاهُ الشَّيْطَانُ ذِكْرَ رَبِّهِ فَلَبِثَ فِي السِّجْنِ بِضْعَ سِنِينَ} (يوسف : 42)

42- Yusuf (peace be upon him) said to the first who believed that he shall escape the sentence of killing: Mention my case to your lord. However, Satan made him forget about Yusuf because of the luxurious life of the palace. So, Yusuf spent several years in prison [from three to nine].

{وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ إِنِّي أَرَى سَبْعَ بَقَرَاتٍ سِمَانٍ يَأْكُلُهُنَّ سَبْعٌ عِجَافٌ وَسَبْعَ سُنبُلاَتٍ خُضْرٍ وَأُخَرَ يَابِسَاتٍ يَا أَيُّهَا الْمَلأُ أَفْتُونِي فِي رُؤْيَايَ إِن كُنتُمْ لِلرُّؤْيَا تَعْبُرُونَ} (يوسف : 43)

43- The king of Egypt said: I have seen in my dreams seven fatty cows full of meat and grease eaten by seven thin cows. I also have seen seven green plants and other seven dry plants. He narrated this vision to his bodyguards, his priests, and his sorcerers. He said to them: O people of opinion and counsel, express this vision to me and explain its ruling if you can express visions.
