From Patience in Hard Times

وَأَخْبَرَ عَنْ نَبِيِّهِ يُوسُفِ الصَّدِيقِ أَنَّ صَبْرَهُ وَتَقْوَاهُ وَصَلَاتُهُ إِلَى مَحَلَّ الْعِزِّ وَالتَّمْكِينِ

And He informed concerning His prophet Joseph, the Truthful, that his patience, piety, and prayer elevated him to a station of honor and firm authority.

يُوسُفِ Joseph

A proper name standing alongside the previous noun to identify it, sharing its genitive case. Arabic places such a renaming straight after the noun with no linking word, so it carries the same grammatical marks.
