Q 12:56
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ ۚ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ ۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ
Traductions
Ainsi avons-nous affermi (l'autorité de) Joseph dans ce territoire et il s'y installait là où il le voulait. Nous touchons de Notre miséricorde qui Nous voulons et ne faisons pas perdre aux hommes de bien le mérite [de leurs œuvres].And thus We established Joseph in the land to settle therein wherever he willed. We touch with Our mercy whom We will, and We do not allow to be lost the reward of those who do good.Tafsir
Tout comme Nous avons fait la faveur à Joseph de l’innocenter et de le libérer de prison, Nous lui avons également permis de devenir quelqu’un d’influent en Egypte et de s’installer dans le lieu qu’il désire. Nous accordons Notre miséricorde dans le bas monde à qui Nous voulons de Nos serviteurs et Nous ne rendons pas vaine la récompense des bienfaisants. Nous la leur remettrons au contraire bien complète sans que rien n’en manque.
Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))
Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land, to take possession therein, when or where he likes. We bestow of Our mercy on whom We will, and We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers (56)And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and had Taqwa (57)
Yusuf's Reign in Egypt
Allah said next,
وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي الْأَرْضِ
(Thus did We give full authority to Yusuf in the land), in Egypt,
يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَاءُ
(to take possession therein, when or where he likes.) As-Suddi and 'Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam said that this part of the Ayah means, "To do whatever he wants therein." Ibn Jarir at Tabari said that it means, "He used to move about freely in the land after being imprisoned, suffering from hardship and the disgrace of slavery." Allah said next,
نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَاءُ ۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ
(We bestow of Our mercy on whom We will, and We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers.) Allah says here, We did not let the patience of Yusuf, from the harm his brothers exerted on him and being imprisoned because of the wife of the 'Aziz, to be lost. Instead, Allah the Exalted and Most Honored rewarded him with His aid and victory,
وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ - وَلَأَجْرُ الْآخِرَةِ خَيْرٌ لِّلَّذِينَ آمَنُوا وَكَانُوا يَتَّقُونَ
(And We make not to be lost the reward of the good doers. And verily, the reward of the Hereafter is better for those who believed and had Taqwa.) Allah states that what He has prepared for His Prophet Yusuf, peace be upon him, in the Hereafter is much greater, substantial and honored than the authority He gave him in this life. Allah said about His Prophet Sulayman (Solomon), peace be upon him,
هَٰذَا عَطَاؤُنَا فَامْنُنْ أَوْ أَمْسِكْ بِغَيْرِ حِسَابٍ - وَإِنَّ لَهُ عِندَنَا لَزُلْفَىٰ وَحُسْنَ مَآبٍ
("This is Our gift, so spend or withhold, no account will be asked of you." And verily, for him is a near access to Us, and a good (final) return (Paradise).)[38:39-40] Yusuf, peace be upon him, was appointed minister of finance by Ar-Rayyan bin Al-Walid, king of Egypt at the time, instead of the 'Aziz who bought him and the husband of she who tried to seduce him. The king of Egypt embraced Islam at the hands of Yusuf, peace be upon him, according to Mujahid.
