The full interesting story can be known from the Quran which describes it beautifully.. Here, Only the summary is given here.
The story of Prophet Yusuf alihiys salaam can be broken up into twelve parts. What surah number is it?
Anyone know?
Twelve.
So Surah number twelve has 12 parts interestingly
Anyway here's the first part Yusuf Alhis Salaam sees a dream.
The second part is his brothers make a plan against him.
By the way the plan succeeds and he's taken away from his family you know what happens.
The third major part is the wife of the minister tries to seduce him (Alyhis salaam), the test that he was put through.
The fourth one was when she (wife of minister) called the ladies she called all of the ladies and they also fell in and they you know did what they did with the knife they were not very good with knives.
And then the fifth part is that Yusuf (alhiyis salaam) ended up in jail. you guys know that part when he was falsely accused and he went to jail
The sixth part is that when the king had a dream and he(king) couldn't figure out what the dream means.
Now the seventh part is that the dream that he (king) had, gets interpreted by Yusuf(alihiys salaam). The king said he doesn't know what to do with the dream they send for Yusuf (alihiys salaam) and he interprets the dream.
The eight part is that Yusuf (alihiys salaam) is released from prison. he gets out of prison.
The ninth part - the women remember those ladies with the knives, they confess that they did something wrong
The ten part - the wife of the minister also confesses.
The eleven part - the brothers learned their lesson you know the brothers who put him (alihiys salaam)in the well in the beginning. Now were in part eleven and they have learned their lesson
Final part, part twelve the dream of Yusuf (alihiys salaam) gets interpreted. Finally he knows what the interpretation of the dream was.
Well now analyze the whole thing carefully
Part one - he (alihiys salaam) sees a dream.
Part twelve - the dream gets interpreted
Part two - the brothers make a scheme against him
(alihiys salaam)
Part eleven - backwards the brothers learn their lesson and they ask for forgiveness

Part ten - going backwards the wife confesses that she was wrong.
Part four - the ladies tried to seduce or say something about Yusuf (alihiys salaam)
Part nine - the ladies confess
Part five - Yusuf (alihiys salaam) was made to go to jail.
Going backwards part eight Yusuf (alihiys salaam) is released from prison
Part six - the king sees a dream.
Part seven - the King's dream is interpreted.
This is not a book written.
It was a speech there was no editing. There was no here are the twelve parts, let's put Part One and Part twelve, Part two and part eleven, Part three and part ten.
It was not like that. It was given as a Surah. Rasul sallahu alihyi wa sallam recited it and just in that recitation it has this perfect symmetry. SubhanAllah!
