Commentary
‘Astakh-lis-hu – {I set him free (from all others)}, this
word is from ‘istikhlaas, which has been derived from khaluus.
Khaluus means “to be without adulteration”. ‘Istikhlaas means
“to separate by detaching from entire other people”. It aims: I shall attach
him to my person.
The king sent the
messenger again and ordered: You should bring Joseph (peace be upon him) unto
me. I shall keep Him in my service. No other will have any relation with Him
(peace be upon him).
When Joseph (peace be
upon him) met the king, he said: With effect from today, You are from our
chosen persons. Joseph (peace be upon him) said: Appoint Me a Finance Minister
of your country. I know well the matters relating to Revenue. And in the
present situation, there is no more expert than Me who may manage the Revenue
and preserve the food for forthcoming circumstances because for this purpose
there is a dire need of an aware and honest person.
Joseph (peace be upon
him) considered it a part of Trust and Honesty also that He should produce His
services Himself for the welfare of the public. It is learnt from the
discussion by Joseph (peace be upon him) that every individual can manifest his
special ability for the benefit of the common people, but not for own advantage
or personal pomp and show.
