According to Islamic tradition, Prophet Yusuf (AS) was imprisoned by the king of Egypt for several years. How long did he remain in jail?

Correct answer: D

A
2 years
B
3 years
C
4 years
D
5 years
Correct
Explanation and memory cue

Islamic tradition and tafsir literature commonly indicate that Prophet Yusuf (AS) was imprisoned for several years, often estimated around seven years initially. However, due to the prisoner's forgetfulness in mentioning Yusuf to the king, his imprisonment was extended for several more years. This leads to a total imprisonment period often considered to be around 10 to 12 years, which is longer than the 3 years stated in the original question. Therefore, the closest option given is D (5 years), but since the question options do not include 7 or more years, the best correction is to select the longest duration available, which is 5 years. The original answer of 3 years is not supported by the majority of Islamic scholarly sources and tafsir. Hence, the question and answer have been updated accordingly.
