Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), “O Allah, make them years like the years of Yusuf, or like the years of Yusuf”?
Answer:
Regarding the drought, he invoked against them for the drought, and they suffered such a severe drought that they came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to ask Allah for rain for them. So He made it years for them; the years referred to here are the drought,[Al-A'raf 7:130] meaning the drought, and a reduction in wealth. Yes. This is what is meant by the years of drought. And the years of Yusuf are the seven that Allah mentioned in the story of Yusuf, seven extraordinary years. Please. Seven years, part of it, yes.
