Yusuf 12:55

<h2>Yusuf's Rank with the King of Egypt</h2><p>Allah states that when he became aware of Yusuf's innocence and his innocense of what he was accused of, the king said, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">ائْتُونِى بِهِ أَسْتَخْلِصْهُ لِنَفْسِى</div><p>(Bring him to me that I may attach him to my person.), `that I may make him among my close aids and associates,' </p><div class="arabic uthmani">فَلَمَّا كَلَّمَهُ</div><p>(Then, when he spoke to him), when the king spoke to Yusuf and further recognized his virtues, great ability, brilliance, good conduct and perfect mannerism, he said to him, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">إِنَّكَ الْيَوْمَ لَدَيْنَا مِكِينٌ أَمِينٌ</div><p>(Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and fully trusted.) The king said to Yusuf, `You have assumed an exalted status with us and are indeed fully trusted.' Yusuf, peace be upon him said, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">اجْعَلْنِى عَلَى خَزَآئِنِ الاٌّرْضِ إِنِّى حَفِيظٌ عَلِيمٌ</div><p>(Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge.) Yusuf praised himself, for this is allowed when one's abilities are unknown and there is a need to do so. He said that he is, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">حَفِيظٌ</div><p>(Hafiz), an honest guard, </p><div class="arabic uthmani">عَلِيمٌ</div><p>(`Alim), having knowledge and wisdom about the job he is to be …

He said: Set me over the storehouses of the land. Lo! I am a skilled custodian.

(Joseph) said: "Set me over the store-houses of the land: I will indeed guard them, as one that knows (their importance)."

[Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge" (as a minister of finance in Egypt, in place of Al-'Aziz who was dead at that time).

He said, “Put me in charge of the storehouses of the land; I am honest and knowledgeable.”
