He was ultimately found innocent and released. Being a very wise
and reliable person and because he was completely exonerated, the ruler
of Egypt placed the treasuries and storehouses under his authority.
Ultimately, Yusuf forgave his brothers who had exposed him to cruelty
and brought them and their father and mother to live with him.
Yusuf, peace be upon him, had an exemplary character. Allah put
him to the test in various ways, rescued him from a well from which it
was impossible to escape, rescued him from an evil situation by sending
him to prison and then rescued him from the prison and restored his good
name, finally granting him high rank. In every situation, Yusuf, peace be
upon him, turned towards Allah and prayed to Him. Despite his
innocence he remained in prison for several years, yet he never forgot that
this was a trial from Allah. In prison, he always spoke of Allah's might
and grandeur to the people around him. His loyalty and trust in Allah
under such harsh conditions shows us his excellent character.

a nobleman in Egypt.
