Ayat 54. And the king said: "Bring [Yusuf (Joseph) [PBUH]
to me that I may attach him to my person." Then, when he spoke to [Yusuf
(Joseph) [PBUH], he said: "Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and
fully trusted."
Ayat 55. [Yusuf (Joseph) [PBUH] said: "Set me over the
storehouses of the land; I will indeed guard them with full knowledge" (as a
minister of finance in Egypt, in place of Al-'Aziz who was dead at that
time).
Hazrat Abu Musa (May Allah be pleased
with him) reported: The Prophet 
[SAWW](PBUH) said, "The honest Muslim trustee who carries out
duties assigned to him (in another narration he said, "Who gives''), and he
gives that in full, with his heart overflowing with cheerfulness, to whom he is
ordered, he is one of the two givers of charity".
[Al-Bukhari Volume 2, Book 24, Number 519].
Lesson : as
mentioned above in Surah Yusuf Ayat
55. ""Verily, this day, you are with us high in rank and fully
trusted" This Hadith also mentions a very important principle to the effect that
everyone must wholeheartedly perform the duty assigned to him by the state. If
he is appointed custodian of the Bait-ul-Mal (public exchequer), he must fulfill
his duty with utmost honesty. If he is not envious of anyone, nor harms anybody,
nor behaves niggardly then he will be entitled to the same reward which will be
due to the person who entrusted him that duty. Thus this Hadith enjoins every
Muslim to perform his official duties wholeheartedly and to the best of his
ability.
