    5. The story of Hazrat Yusuf (on whom be peace) is declared by the QURAN as the best of the stories because it contains marvellous and astonishing wisdom, examples and lessons: incidents and events of kings and their subjects, habits and practices of ladies, patience at the oppressive afflictions of the enemies, forgiving an enemy after overpowering him, maintaining chastity and purity in teen years, transitory nature of this world.
    The unseen knowledge of the Prophets, relics of the pious being the remover of affliction and calamities, gaining knowledge about the period of a Prophet. In short, this story is a  complete picture of Faith and practices, and it comprises many wisdoms and philosophies of life.

    6. That is before the revelation of the QURAN. From this we learn that the Holy Prophet ?  was at no time unaware of uniformed about everything even before the revelation of the QURAN. He is at all times fully aware of all the affairs of the world.

    The tafsir of Surah Yusuf verse 3 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Yusuf ayat 1 which provides the complete commentary from verse 1 through 3.

    (12:3) (O Muhammad), by revealing the Qur’an to you We narrate to you in the best manner the stories of the past although before this narration you were utterly unaware of them[3].

    Ala-Maududi

    (12:3) (O Muhammad), by revealing the Qur’an to you We narrate to you in the best manner the stories of the past although before this narration you were utterly unaware of them[3].

    3. This was to impress indirectly on the unbelievers of Makkah the fact that the Messenger (peace be upon him) did not know anything about the story of the settlement of the Israelites in Egypt, but was being informed of this by revelation from Allah. This introduction was necessary because, as has been stated in the preface to this Surah, the disbelievers had put an abrupt question concerning this matter in order to expose the Prophet (peace be upon him) by this test. The answer is to this effect: Tell them, O Muhammad (peace be upon him), that, though you did not know anything about the settlement of the Israelites in Egypt before this, you have now received a revelation about this from Us.

    (3) We relate to you, [O Muḥammad], the best of stories in what We have revealed to you of this Qur’ān although you were, before it, among the unaware.
