The Holy Quran 12:56 — Surah Yusuf

Arabic text

وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ يَتَبَوَّأُ مِنْهَا حَيْثُ يَشَآءُ ۚ نُصِيبُ بِرَحْمَتِنَا مَن نَّشَآءُ ۖ وَلَا نُضِيعُ أَجْرَ ٱلْمُحْسِنِينَ

Translation

In this manner (as We had rescued him from the prison), We granted authority (power) to Yusuf عليه الصلاة والسلام in the land. He could live wherever he willed (instead of being confined to a prison cell). We shower Our mercy upon whoever We wish, and We do not put to waste (spoil) the reward of those who do good (one who does good will certainly receive his/her rewards in full).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The rule of Yusuf ﵇: he settled wherever he wished and disposed of matters as he wished. Rayyan ibn al-Walid was, so to speak, king in name only; in reality Yusuf ﵇ was ruling, and he was addressed as “Aziz” (the great minister), as will come later.
