Machine translationRead the Arabic original

The Shaykh : Yusuf, the son of whom?
The student: Ya'qub.

The Shaykh : The son of whom?
The student: Ishaq.

The Shaykh : The son of whom?
The student: Ibrahim.

The Shaykh : Ibrahim. And regarding the story of Yusuf, Allah the Exalted revealed a complete surah in it, from the beginning of the story to its end. Our Shaykh, Abd al-Rahman ibn Sa'di (may Allah have mercy on him), has a treatise titled "Benefits Derived from the Story of Yusuf" in which he mentioned many benefits that I have not encountered in the words of the exegetes. So whoever wishes to refer to it, let him refer to this.
Yusuf (peace and blessings be upon him) had a long story, as I told you, in which Allah revealed a complete surah. He saw a dream that the sun, the moon, and eleven stars were prostrating to him. He said to his father

indeed I have seen [in a dream] eleven stars and the sun and the moon; I saw them prostrating to me."

إني رأيت أحد كوكباً والشمس والقمر رأيتهم لي ساجدين

[Yusuf 12:4]

This dream worried him, and he related it to his father. His father said to him:

do not relate your vision to your brothers or they will contrive against you a plan

لا تقصص رؤياك على إخوتك فيكيدوا لك كيداً

[Yusuf 12:5]

Therefore, a person should not relate a good dream to someone he fears, because if he relates it to him, he may plot against him and envy him for it. Rather, if you see something you love, tell it to someone you love and who loves you. Yes.
The reciter:

Gabriel then took me up till he came to the fourth heaven. He asked that the gate be opened, and when he was asked who he was he replied that he was Gabriel. He was asked who was with him and replied that it was Muhammad. He was asked whether he had been sent for, and when he replied th at th at was so, the words were uttered, `Welcome; his coming is good,' and the gate was opened. When I entered Idris was there, and Gabriel said, `This is Idris, so give him a salutation.' I did so, and when he had returned my salutation he said, `Welcome to the good brother and the good prophet.' Gabriel then took me up till he came to the fifth heaven. He asked that the gate be opened, and when he was asked who he was he replied that he was Gabriel. He was asked who was with him and replied that it was Muhammad. He was asked whether he had been sent for, and when he replied that that was so, the words were uttered, `Welcome; his coming is good,' and the gate was opened. When I entered Aaron was there, and Gabriel said, `This is Aaron, so give him a salutation' I did so, and when he had returned my salutation he said, `Welcome to the good brother and the good prophet.' Gabriel then took me up till he came to the sixth heaven. He asked that the gate be opened, and when he was asked who he was he replied that he was Gabriel. He was asked who was with him and replied that it was Muhammad. He was asked whether he had been sent for, and when he replied that that was so, the words were uttered, `Welcome; his coming is good,' and the gate was opened. When I entered Moses was there, and Gabriel said, `This is Moses, so give him a salutation.' I did so, and when he had returned my salutation he said, `Welcome to the good brother and the good prophet.' Then when I passed on he wept, and when he was asked what was making him weep he replied, `I am weeping because more followers of a young man who was commissioned after my time will enter paradise than of mine.' Gabriel then took me up to the seventh heaven. He asked that the gate be opened

ثم صعد بي حتى أتى السماء الرابعة فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد، قيل: وقد أرسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحباً به فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح فلما خلصت فإذا إدريس، فقال هذا إدريس فسلم عليه فسلمت عليه فرد ثم قال: مرحباً بالأخ الصالح والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى أتى السماء الخامسة فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد، قيل: وقد أرسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحباً به فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح فلما خلصت فإذا هارون، قال: هذا هارون فسلم عليه فسلمت عليه فرد ثم قال: مرحبا بالأخ الصالح والنبي الصالح، ثم صعد بي حتى أتى السماء السادسة فاستفتح، قيل: من هذا؟ قال: جبريل، قيل: ومن معك؟ قال: محمد، قيل: وقد أرسل إليه؟ قال: نعم، قيل: مرحباً به فنعم المجيء جاء، ففتح فلما خلصت فإذا موسى، قال هذا موسى فسلم عليه فسلمت عليه فرد ثم قال: مرحباً بالأخ الصالح والنبي الصالح، فلما جاوزت بكى، قيل وما يبكيك؟ قال أبكي لأن غلاماً بعث بعدي يدخل الجنة من أمته أكثر ممن يدخلها من أمتي ثم صعد بي إلى السماء السابعة فاستفتح ..
