88. Nine hundred years before Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace), Hazrat Yusuf (On whom be peace) had come to your predecessors to give the Message of the Oneness of Allah. It should be remembered, that the age of the Pharaoh was over four hundred years, while Hazrat Musa (On whom be peace) had come about nine hundred years after Hazrat Yusuf (On whom be peace) (Tafseer Roohul Mu'ani).

By bright signs is meant the miracles of Hazrat Yusuf (On whom he peace). Some of which were the talking of a suckling baby interpretation of dreams, administration of the affairs of the land, without any secular education in such an organized manner, ele

This tells us that dignified state of the believer is that he believe in the present Prophets, as well as in previous and future Prophets. The true believer, now, is he who believes in the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم as well as in previous Prophets .
92 This tells us that the one who tries to falsify the Prophet will never obtain anything true, nor will he obtain guidance towards true beliefs.

Please refer to Surah Muminun ayat 30 which provides the complete commentary from verse 30 through 35.
51. That is, your deviation, and then your stubbornness, is such that before Moses (peace be upon him), there came in your land the Prophet Joseph (peace be upon him) about whom you yourselves admit that he was a man of the highest morals, and you also admit that by giving the right interpretation of the king’s dream he saved you from the dreadful effects of the seven year long famine, which had struck Egypt in his time, and your entire nation also acknowledges that Egypt has never witnessed a period of greater justice and prosperity than the period of his rule. But in spite of knowing and recognizing all his merits and high qualities you did not believe in him during his life time, and when he died, you said: Never will the like of him came again! That is, you recognized his excellences only for an excuse to deny every prophet who came after him. This means that you would not accept guidance in any case.
