Taberî addresses the verse 'and in it they will press' (وفورت وفيه يعصرون) in two different directions: according to one group of exegetes, this refers to a year when people are watered by rain; according to the other and preferred view, what is meant here is the pressing of products such as grapes, sesame (oil), and olives due to abundance in that year. It is stated that Yusuf (a.s.) conveyed this information to the king with knowledge of the unseen that Allah taught him without being asked; this is evidence of his prophethood and proof of his truthfulness. Differences in recitations (readings with ya/ta) are discussed, and the reading meaning 'to be squeezed' is considered weak/erroneous because it contradicts the views of the Companions and the Followers.

وهذا خبر من يوسف عليه السلام للقوم عما لم يكن في رؤيا ملكهم، ولكنه من علم الغيب الذي آتاه الله دلالة على نبوته وحجة على صدقه

According to Zemahşerî, the root of the verb 'ya'suru-ne' is 'ğavs' or 'ğays' (rain/help), the word means to press grapes, olives, and sesame; additionally, the reading in the passive form can mean 'to be saved', while in the active form it can mean 'to send rain'. He further explains that in Yusuf's dream interpretation, the fat cattle and green ears represent abundant years, while the thin and dry ones represent years of scarcity, and that he conveyed the news of the eighth year being abundant through revelation.

وقرىء : ( يعصرون ) ، على البناء للمفعول ، من عصره إذا أنجاه ، وهو مطابق للإغاثة ويجوز أن يكون المبني للفاعل بمعنى ينجون

According to Kurtubî, Yusuf's announcement that after seven abundant years there will come a year in which people 'will press/will have rain' originates from knowledge of the unseen that Allah bestowed upon him, which does not appear in the king's dream. With this addition, Yusuf demonstrated his knowledge and superiority by informing about a matter that was not asked. The text thereafter discusses linguistically various meanings of the word 'ya'surûn' such as pressing grapes and oil, milking, being saved, or having rain.

هذا خبر من يوسف عليه السلام عما لم يكن في رؤيا الملك ولكنه من علم الغيب الذي آتاه الله قال قتادة : زاده الله علم سنة لم يسألوه عنها إظهارا لفضله وإعلاما لمكانه من العلم

The given text is extremely brief (consisting only of a reference with the word 'yahlibûn') and comprises only one word and the phrase 'al-ayât'; in this form it does not provide sufficient content to determine the exegete's view, reasoning, or context regarding the verse.

يحلبون < الآيات

According to Beydâvî, when Yusuf interpreted the king's dream, he not only explained the symbols in the dream but also gave practical advice, saying 'leave what you have harvested in the ear'; this is an instruction aimed at protection from harmful insects like moths. The attribution of 'you will burden' to them (the years) is a figurative usage; the actual consumers are the people of those years, but the expression is connected to the years through metaphor. Finally, this news is a good tidings from Yusuf that an abundant year will come after the years of scarcity, and he may have derived this information through revelation or from the logic that scarcity will end, or from the divine custom of providing abundance after hardship.

يأكلن ما قدمتم لهن أي يأكل أهلهن ما ادخرتم لأجلهن فأسند إليهن على المجاز تطبيقا بين المعبر والمعبر به

According to this exegete, the phrase 'yuğâsûne' in the verse narrates that people on that day will be watered by rain or will be saved from the difficulty of scarcity; the phrase 'ya'sirûne' means that products such as sesame, grapes, and olives will be pressed to obtain oil, must, and olive oil, which also points to the coming of abundance and blessing. Additionally, the possibility that this word could be related to milked milk or the pouring of rain has been mentioned.
