The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh. A questioner 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 is about drought. He invoked against them with drought, and they suffered drought until they came to the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) and asked him to ask Allah for rain for them. The years referred to here are years of drought, yes. That is, drought and a decrease in wealth. This is what is meant by the years: drought. And the years of Yusuf are the seven that Allah mentioned in the story of Yusuf, seven extraordinary years.
