When he became aware of Yusuf's innocence, the king said, "Bring him to me that I may attach him to my person." Then, when he spoke to him, he said: "Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and fully trusted."" (Quran 12:54) Upon speaking with Yusuf, the king recognized his virtues, great ability, brilliance, good conduct and perfect mannerisms. Yusuf said, "Set me over the storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge" (Quran 12:55). Thus Yusuf asked the king to appoint him as Minister of Finance.
