Due to its reliability and adherence to sound Islamic scholarship, the Saudi government publishes and distributes this tafsir among the Hujjaj (pilgrims) visiting the Haramain.

45. 1. This was one of the two companions in the prison, the one who was to be saved, to whom Yusuf (AS) had said to mention him to his master, so that a way for his release could be made. He suddenly remembered and said, "Give me some time, I will come and tell you its interpretation." So he went straight to Yusuf (AS), narrated the details of the dream, and asked about its interpretation.
