Surah 12. Yusuf, Ayah 49
| ثُمَّ يَأْتِي مِنْ بَعْدِ ذَٰلِكَ عَامٌ فِيهِ يُغَاثُ النَّاسُ وَفِيهِ يَعْصِرُونَ |
| Transliteration | : | thumma ya'te min bacdi dhaalika caam fe -hi yughaath an- naas wa- fe -hi yacs.iron |
| Pickthall | : | Then, after that, will come a year when the people will have plenteous crops and when they will press (wine and oil). |
| Asad | : | And after that there will come a year in which the people will be delivered from all distress,48 and in which they will press [oil and wine as before]." |
| Malik | : | After that period will come a year of abundant rain, in which the people will squeeze the juice." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "Then will come after that (period) a year in which the people will have abundant water and in which they will press (wine and oil)." 1706 |
Note - 48Or: "will be granted rain" - depending on whether one
connects the verbal form yughath with either of the
infinitive nouns ghayth ("rain") or ghawth ("deliverance
from distress"). Although the crops of Egypt depend
entirely on the annual Nile floods, the water-level of
the river is, in its turn, contingent upon the quantity
of rainfall at its upper reaches.

Note - 1706This is a symbol of a very abundant year, following the
seven years of drought. The Nile must have brought
abundant fertilising waters and silt from its upper
reaches, and there was probably some rain also in Lower
Egypt. The vine and the olive trees, which must have
suffered in the drought, now revived, and yielded their
juice and their off, among the annuals, also, the oil
seeds such as , sesamum, and the castor oil plant, must
have been grown, as there was irrigated land and to spare
from the abundant grain crops. And the people's spirits
revived, to enjoy the finer products of the earth, when
their absolute necessities had been more than met in
their grain crops.
