This is the invocation of Yusuf, the truthful one, to his Lord the Exalted
and Most Honored. He invoked Allah after His favor was complete on him by being
reunited with his parents and brothers, after He had bestowed on him prophethood
and kingship. He begged his Lord the Exalted and Ever High, that as He has
perfected His bounty on him in this life, to continue it until the Hereafter. He
begged Him that, when he dies, he dies as a Muslim, as Ad-Dahhak said, and to
join him with the ranks of the righteous, with his brethren the Prophets and
Messengers, may Allah's peace and blessings be on them all. It is possible that
Yusuf, peace be upon him, said this supplication while dying. In the Two Sahihs
it is recorded that `A'ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, said that while
dying, the Messenger of Allah was raising his finger and said - thrice,
«اللَّهُمَّ فِي
الرَّفِيقِ الْأَعْلَى»
ثَلَاثًا (O Allah to Ar-Rafiq Al-A`la [the uppermost, highest company in
heaven].) It is also possible that long before he died, Yusuf begged Allah to
die as a Muslim and be joined with the ranks of the righteous.
[ذَلِكَ مِنْ
أَنبَآءِ الْغَيْبِ نُوحِيهِ إِلَيْكَ وَمَا كُنتَ لَدَيْهِمْ إِذْ أَجْمَعُواْ
أَمْرَهُمْ وَهُمْ يَمْكُرُونَ - وَمَآ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ وَلَوْ حَرَصْتَ
بِمُؤْمِنِينَ - وَمَا تَسْأَلُهُمْ عَلَيْهِ مِنْ أَجْرٍ إِنْ هُوَ إِلاَّ ذِكْرٌ
لِّلْعَـلَمِينَ ]
(102. That is of the news of the Ghayb (Unseen) which We reveal to you. You
were not (present) with them when they arranged their plan together, and (while)
they were plotting.) (103. And most of mankind will not believe even if you
desire it eagerly.) (104. And no reward you ask of them for it; it (the Qur'an)
is no less than a Reminder unto the `Alamin (men and Jinn).)
