Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-30

I am Yousif
The family of Prophet Ya'qub used up the
wheat. Prophet Ya'qub was sad because he
missed his three sons Yousif, Benyamin, and
their eldest brother.
So Prophet Ya'qub ordered his sons to go to
Egypt to buy wheat and to look for their three
brothers.
The brothers headed for Egypt for the third
time. They only had a few silver dirhams.
However, they went there to bring back their
brother Benyamin.
They arrived in Egypt. No one honored them
on account of what had happened before. So
the brothers went to the Chief of Egypt
(Yousif), vho had taken Benyamin. They went
to him and spoke to him gently. They thought
he would sell them wheat for their few silver
dirhams. They also thought that this good
Chief would release Benyamin.
They came to the Chief of Egypt (Yousif) and
said to him: "Chief, distress has afflicted us
and our family and we have brought little
money. So give us full measure and be
charitable to us. Surely Allah rewards the
charitable."
A wonderful thing drew the attention of the
brothers. They saw Benyamin sitting with the
Chief of Egypt (Yousif). They saw him wearing
an excellent linen garment.
In those moving moments, Yousif, who was
merciful, asked them: "Do you know how you
treated Yousif and his brother when you were
ignorant?"
Yousif forgot all those pains his brothers
caused to him and his father. He forgot all
those sufferings.
He wanted to say to them: "Your ignorance
has driven me to this position. Allah has
chosen me and made me a favor. He's
rewarded me for my patience and faith."
At those moment the nine brothers understood
the truth. They said to each other: "That Chief,
whom the guards have surrounded and whose
word is the first in Egypt, is Yousif. He's our
brother Yousif, whom we had plotted against.
He's our good, pure brother Yousif, who
rewarded us with kindness for mistreatment.
He's our brother, who had filled our bags with
wheat and returned the silver dirhams to us."
The brothers said with astonishment: "Surely,
you're Yousif!"
Yousif, whose eyes were full of tears because
of fear of Allah, said: "Yes. I am Yousif and
this is my brother. Allah has indeed been
Gracious to us. Surely he who guards (against
evil) and is patient (is rewarded) for surely
Allah does not waste the reward of those who
do good."
The brothers discovered the truth after twenty
years of misguidance and deviation from the
right path. Thus, they said to him: "By Allah,
Allah has preferred you to us. And we were
certainly sinners."
Yousif'smiled at them. They were his brother.
Satan misled them in a moment of envy. Then
they returned to the right path.
So Yousif said to them: "(There shall be) no
blame against you today. May Allah forgive,
and He is the most Merciful of the merciful."
Yousif was a kind person. He forgave his
brothers their faults. Then he wanted to put
an end to his father's pains.
Twenty years ago his brothers took his shirt
and stained it with blood.
They took the shirt to their father and said to
him: "Father, a wolf has eaten Yousif."
So Yousif wanted to remove this lie from their
mind. Thus, he took off the linen shirt and
said to them: "Take this shirt of mine and cast
it on my father's face; he will be able to see
again. Bring me all your family."
All the brothers began smelling Yousif's shirt.
They wept of joy and regret. They rejoiced at
their brother Yousif, who became the first man
in Egypt. They were sorry for what they did
twenty years ago.
For this reason they bowed to Yousif, the
Chief of Egypt, and left his palace quickly.
They wanted to go back to their father as
quick as possible to gladden his sad heart.
Thus, the caravan set off and began crossing
the desert. This caravan did not carry wheat.
Rather, it carried Yousif's shirt and good
news.
