Assalamu alaykum. It's Surah Yusuf Ayah 37.
This passage in chapter 12, Surah Yusuf Joseph
talks about Yusuf alayhi salam being incarcerated and
2 people were put in jail with him.
They had dreams
and they told him their dreams and he
was going to give them the interpretation of
the dreams.
So, before he gave them the interpretation of
the dreams he said,
in this ayah 12:37,
he's not actually giving them the interpretation of
the dreams, he's actually giving them a proof
that he's able to interpret the dreams for
them. He says, as a proof that I'm
able to give you the right interpretation,
he says, before the next meal comes to
you, I will tell you what it is
before it is served to you. So, he's
talking about,
foretelling,
what kind of food they are going to
eat before they actually receive the food. So,
whether they're going to receive biryani or something
else or fruit, he was going to tell
them, you are going to eat this food
2, 3 hours before the food is served.
So, this is a sign, this is a
proof that he actually knows,
he has some special knowledge that Allah has
given him and he was not actually telling
them before the next meal comes, I'm going
to tell you the interpretation of your dreams.
This is something totally,
different. So this is the misunderstanding
of the verse. Before the next meal comes
to you, I will tell you the interpretation
of the dream. Thank you.
