He brought Prophet Yusuf (AS) home and told his wife Zuleikha that they would adopt him as their son. The Aziz (Governor of Egypt and Chief Officer of the King), whose name was Fotifaar, offered a price that none could match. News of this remarkable youth swept through the city. At the slave market the buyers were all attracted by him, because he was a very handsome young man. Thus, Prophet Yusuf (AS) arrived in Egypt. They hid him with their merchandise and sold him to some slave traders for a few pieces of silver. They were surprised to see Prophet Yusuf (AS) come up holding the bucket. Meanwhile a caravan of traders passing by the well stopped to draw some water. He did not believe their story and could do nothing but remain patient and wait for Allah to reunite him with his beloved son. They arrived home weeping and told their father that while they were grazing their sheep, a wolf came and ate their brother. On the way back, they slaughtered a goat and stained Prophet Yusuf's (AS) shirt with its blood. Ignoring their young brother's pleas, they heartlessly left him to die of hunger. They removed Prophet Yusuf's (AS) shirt, and threw him into the well.

With reluctance, their father agreed to let them take him with them.Īs soon as they were far enough from home, they began to plot about how to dispose of Prophet Yusuf (AS). When Prophet Yusuf (AS) reached the age of 16, his brothers insisted that he was now old enough to accompany them. Prophet Ya'qub (AS) always refused, saying that the boy was too young.
Whenever they took their goats out for grazing they would ask their father if Yusuf (AS) could accompany them. His brothers were jealous of the favour that he enjoyed in their father's eyes and planned to somehow get rid of him. Prophet Ya'qub (AS) realised that the dream outlined his son's destiny and greatness and cautioned him not to tell his brothers about the dream. Prophet Yusuf (AS) once dreamt that eleven stars and the sun and moon were prostrating to him. He was one of the youngest and possessed excellent character and manners. The Holy Qur'an has mentioned his story in a beautiful chapter entitled "Surah Yusuf". In the Bible he is referred to as Joseph son of Jacob. Prophet Yusuf (AS) was the son of Prophet Ya'qub (AS).
