Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-3

Prophet Yusuf (AS) in Prison
Due to continued pressure from his wife
Zuleikha, the Aziz of Egypt decided to
imprison Prophet Yusuf (AS), despite his
innocence. The reason he gave was that
people would forget the actions of his wife
while Prophet Yusuf (AS) lay in prison, and
her dignity would be restored.
On the same day that Prophet Yusuf (AS) was
put into prison, two other men were also
imprisoned. One used to serve the king wine,
while the other was the royal cook. Both men
had been accused of trying to poison the king.
On the following day, the wine-server said to
Prophet Yusuf (AS), "I saw in a dream that I
was crushing grapes to make wine for the
king". The cook said, "I dreamt that I was
carrying some bread in a basket on my head
and birds were pecking at the bread".
Both men saw that Prophet Yusuf (AS) was a
noble and pious person and asked him if he
could interpret their dreams. Prophet Yusuf
(AS) took this opportunity to preach the
religion of Allah to his prison-mates. He
promised to tell them the meaning of their
dreams and informed them that this was a
special power given to him by Allah Before he
did so, however, he explained to them how
senseless it was to believe in various gods
and explained to them about the Oneness of
Allah and the Day of Resurrection.
Finally he said, "O my prison-mates! The man
who dreamt that he was crushing grapes will
soon be released from here and will go back
to his previous post. The second one, who
carried the bread on his head in the dream,
will be executed and the birds will start to eat
his brain." Prophet Yusuf (AS) thought of
getting himself released from prison through
the wine-server, and told him to remind the
king of his innocence when he saw him. The
dreams of both men came true just as he had
foretold. One of the captives was released
while the other was hanged. Unfortunately, the
wine-server forgot all that Prophet Yusuf (AS)
had told him to convey to the king.
