Surah Yusuf from verse (7) to verse (17).
﴿وَكَذَلِكَ يجتبيك رَبك﴾ أَيْ: يَخْتَارُكَ لِلنُّبُوَّةِ ﴿وَيُعَلِّمُكَ مِنْ تَأْوِيل الْأَحَادِيث﴾ قَالَ مُجَاهِدٌ: يَعْنِي: تَعْبِيرَ الرُّؤْيَا.
وَقَالَ الْحَسَنُ: يَعْنِي: عَوَاقِبَ الأُمُورِ الَّتِي لَا تُعْلَمُ إِلا بِوَحْيِ نُبُوَّةٍ ﴿وَيُتِمُّ نِعْمَتَهُ عَلَيْكَ وَعَلَى آل يَعْقُوب﴾ وَكَانَ اللَّهُ أَعْلَمَهُ أَنَّهُ سَيُعْطِي ولد يَعْقُوب كلهم النُّبُوَّة.
