Surah Yusuf ayat 4 Tafsir Quran 12:4

﴿إِذْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ لِأَبِيهِ يَا أَبَتِ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ أَحَدَ عَشَرَ كَوْكَبًا وَالشَّمْسَ وَالْقَمَرَ رَأَيْتُهُمْ لِي سَاجِدِينَ﴾
[ يوسف: 4]

12:4 [Of these stories mention] when Joseph said to his father, "O my father, indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."

Mention when Joseph said to his father Jacob ‘O my father read yā abati to indicate the omitted yā’ of genitive annexation sc. of yā abī; or read yā abata to indicate that an alif originally a yā’ has been omitted I saw in my sleep eleven planets and the sun and the moon I saw them repeated for emphasis prostrating themselves before me’ sājidīn this plural form is used to describe the act of ‘prostration’ which is an attribute associated with rational beings.

For once Yusuf said to his father -Yaqub (Jacob)- O my father, a vividly descriptive image was presented to my mind in my sleep portraying eleven planets, the sun and the moon bowing to the ground in reverence and obeisance to me

Yusuf's Dream Allah says, `Mention to your people, O Muhammad, among the stories that you narrate to them, the story of Yusuf.' Prophet Yusuf ( Joseph ) mentioned his dream to his father, Prophet Ya`qub ( Jacob ), son of Prophet Ishaq ( Isaac ), son of Prophet Ibrahim ( Abraham ), peace be upon them all.
`Abdullah bin `Abbas stated that the dreams of Prophets are revelations from Allah.
Scholars of Tafsir explained that in Yusuf's dream the eleven stars represent his brothers, who were eleven, and the sun and the moon represent his father and mother.
This explanation was collected from Ibn `Abbas, Ad-Dahhak, Qatadah, Sufyan Ath-Thawri and `Abdur-Rahman bin Zayd bin Aslam.
Yusuf's vision became a reality forty years later, or as some say, eighty years, when Yusuf raised his parents to the throne while his brothers were before him, وَخَرُّواْ لَهُ سُجَّدَا وَقَالَ يأَبَتِ هَـذَا تَأْوِيلُ رُؤْيَـى مِن قَبْلُ قَدْ جَعَلَهَا رَبِّى حَقًّا ( and they fell down before him prostrate.
And he said: "O my father! This is the interpretation of my dream aforetime! My Lord has made it come true!" )

( When Joseph said unto his father: O my father! Lo! I saw in a dream ) that I dreamt during the day ( eleven planets ) they came down from their orbits and prostrated themselves before me, a prostration of greeting-these are his brothers who were eleven in number-( and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves unto me ) he says: and I saw the sun and the moon coming down from their orbits and prostrated themselves before me, a prostration of greeting-these are his parents: Rachel and Jacob.

(Remember) when Yusuf (Joseph) said to his father: "O my father! Verily, I saw (in a dream) eleven stars and the sun and the moon, I saw them prostrating themselves to me."
