وَٱتَّبَعْتُ And I follow مِلَّةَ (the) religion ءَابَآءِىٓ (of) my forefathers إِبْرَٰهِيمَ Ibrahim وَإِسْحَـٰقَ and Isaac وَيَعْقُوبَ ۚ and Yaqub مَا Not كَانَ was لَنَآ for us أَن that نُّشْرِكَ we associate بِٱللَّهِ with Allah مِن any شَىْءٍۢ ۚ thing ذَٰلِكَ That مِن (is) from فَضْلِ (the) Grace ٱللَّهِ (of) Allah عَلَيْنَا upon us وَعَلَى and upon ٱلنَّاسِ the mankind وَلَـٰكِنَّ but أَكْثَرَ most ٱلنَّاسِ (of) the men لَا (are) not يَشْكُرُونَ grateful ٣٨

And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. And it was not for us to associate anything with Allāh. That is from the favor of Allāh upon us and upon the people, but most of the people are not grateful.

يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ O my two companions ٱلسِّجْنِ (of) the prison ءَأَرْبَابٌۭ Are lords مُّتَفَرِّقُونَ separate خَيْرٌ better أَمِ or ٱللَّهُ Allah ٱلْوَٰحِدُ the One ٱلْقَهَّارُ the Irresistible ٣٩

12:40

مَا Not تَعْبُدُونَ you worship مِن besides Him دُونِهِۦٓ besides Him إِلَّآ but أَسْمَآءًۭ names سَمَّيْتُمُوهَآ which you have named them أَنتُمْ you وَءَابَآؤُكُم and your forefathers مَّآ not أَنزَلَ (has) sent down ٱللَّهُ Allah بِهَا for it مِن any سُلْطَـٰنٍ ۚ authority إِنِ Not ٱلْحُكْمُ (is) the command إِلَّا but لِلَّهِ ۚ for Allah أَمَرَ He has commanded أَلَّا that not تَعْبُدُوٓا۟ you worship إِلَّآ but إِيَّاهُ ۚ Him Alone ذَٰلِكَ That ٱلدِّينُ (is) the religion ٱلْقَيِّمُ the right وَلَـٰكِنَّ but أَكْثَرَ most ٱلنَّاسِ [the] men لَا (do) not يَعْلَمُونَ know ٤٠

You worship not besides Him except [mere] names you have named them, you and your fathers, for which Allāh has sent down no evidence. Legislation is not but for Allāh. He has commanded that you worship not except Him. That is the correct religion, but most of the people do not know.

يَـٰصَـٰحِبَىِ O my two companions ٱلسِّجْنِ (of) the prison أَمَّآ As for أَحَدُكُمَا one of you فَيَسْقِى he will give drink رَبَّهُۥ (to) his master خَمْرًۭا ۖ wine وَأَمَّا and as for ٱلْـَٔاخَرُ the other فَيُصْلَبُ he will be crucified فَتَأْكُلُ and will eat ٱلطَّيْرُ the birds مِن from رَّأْسِهِۦ ۚ his head قُضِىَ Has been decreed ٱلْأَمْرُ the matter ٱلَّذِى about which فِيهِ about which تَسْتَفْتِيَانِ you both inquire ٤١

O two companions of prison, as for one of you, he will give drink to his master of wine; but as for the other, he will be crucified, and the birds will eat from his head. The matter has been decreed about which you both inquire."

وَقَالَ And he said لِلَّذِى to the one whom ظَنَّ he thought أَنَّهُۥ that he نَاجٍۢ (would be) saved مِّنْهُمَا of both of them ٱذْكُرْنِى Mention me عِندَ to رَبِّكَ your master فَأَنسَىٰهُ But made him forget ٱلشَّيْطَـٰنُ the Shaitaan ذِكْرَ (the) mention رَبِّهِۦ (to) his master فَلَبِثَ so he remained فِى in ٱلسِّجْنِ the prison بِضْعَ several سِنِينَ years ٤٢

And he said to the one whom he knew would go free, "Mention me before your master." But Satan made him forget the mention [to] his master, and he [i.e., Joseph] remained in prison several years.

وَقَالَ And said ٱلْمَلِكُ the king إِنِّىٓ Indeed, I أَرَىٰ [I] have seen سَبْعَ seven بَقَرَٰتٍۢ cows سِمَانٍۢ fat يَأْكُلُهُنَّ eating them سَبْعٌ seven عِجَافٌۭ lean ones وَسَبْعَ and seven سُنۢبُلَـٰتٍ ears (of corn) خُضْرٍۢ green وَأُخَرَ and others يَابِسَـٰتٍۢ ۖ dry يَـٰٓأَيُّهَا O ٱلْمَلَأُ chiefs أَفْتُونِى Explain to me فِى about رُءْيَـٰىَ my vision إِن if كُنتُمْ you can لِلرُّءْيَا of visions تَعْبُرُونَ interpret ٤٣

And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."
