Tafsir

"Two Jail Mates ask Yusuf to interpret their Dreams Allah tells: وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَيَانَ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَأ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَعْصِرُ خَمْرًا وَقَالَ الاخَرُ إِنِّي أَرَانِي أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِي خُبْزًا تَأْكُلُ الطَّيْرُ مِنْهُ نَبِّيْنَا بِتَأْوِيلِهِ إِنَّا نَرَاكَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِينَ And there entered with him two young men in the prison. One of them said:""Verily, I ﷺ myself (in a dream) pressing wine."" The other said:""Verily, I ﷺ myself (in a dream) carrying bread on my head and birds were eating thereof."" (They said):""Inform us of the interpretation of this. Verily, we think you are one of the doers of good."" Qatadah said, ""One of them was the king's distiller and the other was his baker."" Each of these two men had a dream and asked Yusuf to interpret it for them."
