Ahsan al-Qasas

أحسن القصص
Definition

The most beautiful of stories — the Quran's own description of the story of Yusuf in Surah Yusuf (12:3). This title indicates that the narrative encompasses the full range of human experience — jealousy, betrayal, temptation, imprisonment, power, and forgiveness — in a perfectly structured arc.

As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
