The
Holy Quran says:
“The king dreamt
that seven lean cows were eating seven fat ones and that there were seven green
ears of corn and seven dry ones. He asked the nobles to tell him the meaning of
his dream if they were able to. They replied, "It is a confused dream and
we do not know the meaning of such dreams." [Surah Yusuf 12:43,44]
The
king of Egypt was quite worried about the dream. He had sought the
interpretation of his dream with wise men and astrologers. But they seemed to
render no help. When the wine server about the issue, he was minded about
Prophet Yusuf and his request for liberation from the prison. He approached the
king and told him about Prophet and his ability. The king sent for this man.
Prophet Yusuf interpreted the dream by the power of Allah vested in him. He
said, “For seven years the crops will yield abundant food-grain for the people
of Egypt. After that there will be a famine for seven years during which all
the food-grain lying in the storehouses will be finished and people will
starve. Therefore, the people should try to grow as much extra grain as
possible so that it would stand them in good stead during the time of famine”
The king became
quite impressed by Prophet Yusuf ability and ordered to bring him to the court
so that he could use of his wisdom in solving problems of the country. Prophet Yusuf (AS) refused to leave the prison until
he proved his innocence. He said to the courtiers, "I will not come out of
the prison until the king makes enquiries about my case. Tell the king to ask
the wives of the noble men about the time when they cut their fingers on seeing
me".
The courtiers passed on this message to the king who called the concerned women to him for an explanation. They all confessed the truth and Zuleikha, the wife of the Aziz, also testified that Prophet Yusuf (AS) was innocent of any guilt. Thus, Prophet Yusuf (AS) was released from the prison with his dignity and honor restored.

The Holy Quran says:
The king ordered his men to bring Yusuf before him; he wanted to grant him a high office. The king said to him, "From now on you will be an honoured and trusted person amongst us." Yusuf said, "Put me in charge of the treasuries of the land, I know how to manage them."
Surah Yusuf, 12:54,55
