6. 1. That is, just as your Lord has chosen you to show you a dream of great magnificence, in the same way your Lord will also grant you distinction and will teach you the interpretation of dreams. The original meaning of "ta'weel al-ahadith" is to reach the depth of matters. Here, the interpretation of dreams is meant.

6. 2. This refers to prophethood, which was granted to Yusuf (عليه السلام). Or it refers to those blessings with which Yusuf (عليه السلام) was favored in Egypt.
