Surah Yusuf (Joseph), Verse 21

وَقَالَ الَّذِی اشْتَرٰىهُ مِنْ مِّصْرَ لِامْرَاَتِهٖۤ اَكْرِمِیْ مَثْوٰىهُ عَسٰۤی اَنْ یَّنْفَعَنَاۤ اَوْ نَتَّخِذَهٗ وَلَدًا وَكَذٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِیُوْسُفَ فِی الْاَرْضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهٗ مِنْ تَاْوِیْلِ الْاَحَادِیْثِ وَاللّٰهُ غَالِبٌ عَلٰۤی اَمْرِهٖ وَلٰكِنَّ اَكْثَرَ النَّاسِ لَا یَعْلَمُوْنَ ۟

Wa qaalal lazish taraahu mim Misra limra atiheee akrimee maswaahu 'asaaa any-yanfa'anaaa aw nattakhizahoo waladaa; wa kazaalika mak-kannaa li-Yoosufa fil ardi wa linu'allimahoo min ta'weelil ahaadees; wallaahu ghaalibun 'alaaa amrihee wa laakinna aksaran naasi laa ya'lamoon

The man in Egypt who bought him, said to his wife: "Make his stay (among us) honourable: maybe he will bring us much good, or we shall adopt him as a son." Thus did We establish Joseph in the land, that We might teach him the interpretation of stories (and events). And Allah hath full power and control over His affairs; but most among mankind know it not.
