توطئة برادران؛ آغاز سربلندی یوسف

در حالی که یوسف خردسال - که طبق روایات» هفت سال بیشتر نداشت - خسته و غمگین در چاه افتاده بود» خداوند فرشتةٌ وحی خویش را به سوی او فرستاد و خبر داد که اگر چه برادرانت تو را در چاه انداختند تا دیگر نامی از تو نمانده نمی‌دانند که با همین کارء سربلندی تو آغاز می‌شود و خداوند چنان عزتی به تو می‌بخشد که بر تخت عزت تکیه خواهی زد و آنها در پیشگاه تو طلب بخشش و مهربانی خواهند کرد و تو آنها را از همین ظلم و ستمی که روا داشتندء مطلع می‌کنی؛ چنان که آیات ۸۸ تا ۹۰ همین سوره به این موضوع اشاره دارد.
