ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُمْ مِّنْ بَعْدِ مَا رَأَوْا الاْیَاتِ لَیَسْجُنُنَّهُ حَتَّى حِین(( 35 ))

35- THEN IT SEEMED BETTER TO THEM, AFTER SEEING THE EVIDENCES, TO IMPRISON HIM FOR THE TIME BEING.

وَدَخَلَ مَعَهُ السِّجْنَ فَتَیَانِ قَالَ أَحَدُهُمَا إِنِّی أَرَانِی أَعْصِرُ خَمْراً وَقَالَ الاْخَرُ إِنِّی أَرَانِی أَحْمِلُ فَوْقَ رَأْسِی خُبْزاً تَأْکُلُ الطَّیْرُ مِنْهُ نَبِّئْنَا بِتَأْوِیلِهِ إِنَّا نَرَاکَ مِنَ الْمُحْسِنِینَ(( 36 ))

36- AND THERE ENTERED THE PRISON WITH HIM TWO YOUNG MEN. ONE OF THEM SAID:ِ ``I DREAMT THAT I WAS PRESSING (GRAPES FOR) WINE; AND THE LATTER SAID; I DREAMED THAT I WAS CARRYING BREAD ON MY HEAD OF WHICH BIRDS WERE EATING! INFORM US OF ITS INTERPRETATION THAT WE SEE YOU TO BE OF THE GOOD-DOERS.''

قَالَ لاَ یَأْتِیکُمَا طَعَامٌ تُرْزَقَانِهِ إِلاَّ نَبَّأْتُکُمَا بِتَأْوِیلِهِ قَبْلَ أَنْ یَأْتِیَکُمَا ذَلِکُمَا مِمَّا عَلَّمَنِی رَبِّی إِنِّی تَرَکْتُ مِلَّةَ قَوْم لاَ یُؤْمِنُونَ بِاللهِ وَهُمْ بِالاْخِرَةِ هُمْ کَافِرُونَ(( 37 ))

37- HE SAID BEFORE (THE RATION OF) FOOD COMES TO YOU TO EAT IT, I WILL INFORM YOU OF ITS INTERPRETATION. THAT IS A PART OF WHAT MY LORD HAS TAUGHT ME, FOR I HAVE LEFT THE CREED OF THE PEOPLE WHO DO NOT BELIEVE IN ALLAH, AND WHO DENY THE LIFE TO COME.

وَاتَّبَعْتُ مِلَّةَ آبَائِی إِبْرَاهِیمَ وَإِسْحَاقَ وَیَعْقُوبَ مَا کَانَ لَنَا أَنْ نُشْرِکَ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَیْء ذَلِکَ مِنْ فَضْلِ اللهِ عَلَیْنَا وَعَلَى النَّاسِ وَلَکِنَّ أَکْثَرَ النَّاسِ لاَ یَشْکُرُونَ(( 38 ))

38- AND FOLLOWED THE CREED OF MY FATHERS, ABRAHAM, ISAAC, AND JACOB. IT IS NOT (IN THE CREED) OF US TO ASSOCIATE ANYTHING WITH ALLAH. THIS IS BY ALLAH'S GRACE UPON US AND UPON THE PEOPLE, BUT MOST OF THE PEOPLE DO NOT GIVE THANKS.
