The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, al-Asami asks: What is the meaning of the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) or like the years of Yusuf?
The Shaykh:
It means drought. He invoked against them for drought, and they did experience drought until they came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to ask Allah for rain for them. So make them years for them; the years referred to here are drought,[Al-A'raf 7:130] meaning drought, and a decrease in wealth. This is what is meant by the new years. And the years of Yusuf are the seven that Allah mentioned in Surat Yusuf, seven extraordinary years.
The questioner:
It is worth it.
The Shaykh:
Years, part of it, yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
