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.
