12:55
Treasurer: Although every noble verse of the Wise Qur'an has a ta'wil or rather, several ta'wils, yet, the Surah of Yusuf, is the special subject of ta 'wiL Therefore, we have to reflect upon the verse and see whether Hazrat Yusuf was appointed the treasurer of Egypt only or of the entire earth (12:55), whereas Prophets and Imams are granted the vicegerency of the entire earth. In that case, there cannot be any surprise if they also have the treasures of the entire earth in their possession, as the above verse (12:55) indicates.
Khaza’in al-arz (The treasures of the earth)
In verse (12:55) God says: "He (Yusuf) said: Set me over the treasures of the earth. Verily, I am a protector and knowing." That is, the mustawda c (Entrusted) Imam Yusuf said to the mustaqarr (Permanent) Imam: Make me the custodian of the treasures of the personal world so that they may be used with protection and knowledge.
