Commentary on 12:22
"Dan tatkala dia mencapai (usia) cukup dewasa, Kami beri-kan kepadanya hikmah dan ilmu. Demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik." (Yusuf: 22).
(22) Maksudnya, ﴾ وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ ﴿ "dan tatkala dia mencapai (usia)", yaitu Yusuf ﴾ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ﴿ "cukup dewasa", maksudnya mencapai usia ke-sempurnaan kekuatan maknawi dan jasmaninya dan sudah layak untuk mengemban beban-beban yang berat berupa kenabian dan risalah, maka ﴾ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ حُكۡمٗا وَعِلۡمٗاۚ ﴿ "Kami berikan kepadanya hikmah dan ilmu", Kami jadikan ia sebagai nabi dan rasul, seorang ulama yang rabbani. ﴾ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ ﴿ "Demikianlah Kami memberi balasan kepada orang-orang yang berbuat baik", dalam ibadahnya kepada al-Khaliq dengan mengerahkan kemampuan dan ketulusan saat mengerjakannya. Sedangkan bagi yang (berbuat baik) kepada sesama hamba Allah, (maka Kami memberikan balasan) dengan mencurahkan keman-faatan dan kebaikan kepada mereka. Di antara balasan Kami atas kebaikannya, Kami menganugerahinya ilmu yang berguna. Ini mengindikasikan bahwa Yusuf sudah mencapai tingkatan ihsan. Maka Allah mengaruniakan kepadanya hikmah dan ilmu yang banyak serta kenabian di antara manusia.
Cobaan yang besar ini lebih dahsyat bagi Yusuf daripada co-baan yang dilakukan saudara-saudaranya serta lebih berat dalam bersabar untuk menghadapinya. Pahalanya pun lebih besar, karena merupakan kesabaran yang bersifat ikthiyari (pilihan), padahal ba-nyak faktor yang bisa menyeretnya untuk melakukan hal itu. Lalu dia lebih mengutamakan kecintaan kepada Allah daripada fitnah itu. Sementara cobaan yang dihadapi dari saudara-saudaranya, kesabarannya bersifat idthirari (terpaksa) sebagaimana berbagai macam penyakit dan peristiwa yang tidak mengenakkan yang me-nimpa seseorang tanpa bisa mengelak. Tidak ada tempat berkelit kecuali dengan bersabar dalam menghadapinya, suka atau tidak.

12:15
فَلَمَّا ذَهَبُواْ بِهِۦ وَأَجۡمَعُوٓاْ أَن يَجۡعَلُوهُ فِي غَيَٰبَتِ ٱلۡجُبِّۚ وَأَوۡحَيۡنَآ إِلَيۡهِ لَتُنَبِّئَنَّهُم بِأَمۡرِهِمۡ هَٰذَا وَهُمۡ لَا يَشۡعُرُونَ ١٥
So when they took him [out] and agreed to put him into the bottom of the well...1 But We inspired to him, "You will surely inform them [someday] about this affair of theirs while they do not perceive [your identity]."

وَقَالَ ٱلَّذِي ٱشۡتَرَىٰهُ مِن مِّصۡرَ لِٱمۡرَأَتِهِۦٓ أَكۡرِمِي مَثۡوَىٰهُ عَسَىٰٓ أَن يَنفَعَنَآ أَوۡ نَتَّخِذَهُۥ وَلَدٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ مَكَّنَّا لِيُوسُفَ فِي ٱلۡأَرۡضِ وَلِنُعَلِّمَهُۥ مِن تَأۡوِيلِ ٱلۡأَحَادِيثِۚ وَٱللَّهُ غَالِبٌ عَلَىٰٓ أَمۡرِهِۦ وَلَٰكِنَّ أَكۡثَرَ ٱلنَّاسِ لَا يَعۡلَمُونَ ٢١
And the one from Egypt1 who bought him said to his wife, "Make his residence comfortable. Perhaps he will benefit us, or we will adopt him as a son." And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events [i.e., dreams]. And Allāh is predominant over His affair, but most of the people do not know.
