Announce unto us the interpretation, for we see thee of those good (at interpretation). 36 He said: there will not come to you any food wherewith ye are provided but I shall have declared unto thee the interpretation thereof ere it cometh unto you. That is of that which my Lord hath taught me; verily I have abandoned the creed of a people who believe not in Allah and who in the Hereafter are disbelievers. 37 I follow the faith of my fathers, of Abraham and Isaac and Jacob. We cannot associate anyone with God. This is among God's favours to us and to all mankind; but most men are not grateful. 38 “O both my fellow-prisoners!

However Satan made him forget to mention him to his master, and so Joseph remained in prison for a number of years. 42
