the prime minister, had died. His
testimony could not be taken but
strangely Zulaykhah, the very
woman who accused
Nabi
Yusuf [a]
of wrongdoing stood up and said, “
It
is true that I tried to mislead Yusuf,
but he saved himself from my evil
plans. He was always pure and vir-
tuous. He is the Noble Yusuf.
”
And so
Nabi
Yusuf [a] was proved
innocent. He was now free of all
blame. He could now walk with dig-
nity among men. He heaved a sigh
of relief and said, “
All praise be to
Allah for now the truth is known. I
was never unfaithful to my master.
And Allah is Merciful, Forgiving
.”
The King said, “
Now bring Yusuf to
me,
” and he received him with hon-
our. “
I know of no other man in my
land wiser than you. I wish to hon-
our you and to make you my advi-
sor. You shall forever be near me.
