When Yusuf -as read the letter...

When Yusuf -as read the letter, he -as cried and sighted and said: ‘ Go with this shirt of mine and cast it upon my father’s face, he would regain his vision, and come to me with your family altogether’ [12:93] ’’. [25] A narrator says, he heard Abu Abdullah Al-Sadiq -asws (6 th Imam) saying: ‘Do you know what was the shirt of Yusuf -as ?’ He (the narrator) said, ‘I said, ‘No’.

He -asws said: ‘Ibrahim -as , when the fire was inflamed for him -as , Jibraeel -as came over to him -as with a cloth from the clothes of the Paradise. So he -as wore it, and with it, the heat and the cold did not harm him -as . When the death presented itself to Ibrahim -as , he -as made it to be in an amulet and hung it upon Is’haq -as , and Is’haq -as hung it upon Yaqoub. When Yusuf -as was born, he -as hung it upon him -as .

Thus, it was on his -as shoulder until it was from his -as affair which was. When Yusuf -as took it out from the amulet in Egypt, Yaqoub -as found its smell, and these are his -as words: ‘Surely I find the aroma of Yusuf, unless you deem me to be weak minded’ [12:94] . So it was that shirt which Allah -azwj Sent down from the Paradise’ I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you -asws ! So, to whom has that shirt come to be?’ He -asws said: ‘To its rightful ones’.

Then he -asws said: ‘Every Prophet -as inherited knowledge or something else, so it has ended up to the Progeny -asws of Muhammad -saww ’’. [26] Abu Abdullah -asws narrates from Rasool Allah -saww said: ‘The best timing for you to supplicate to Allah -azwj during it is the pre-dawn’, and he -asws recited this Verse regarding the world of Yaqoub -as : ‘Soon I will seek Forgiveness of my Lord for you all [12:98] . He -as delayed it to the pre-dawn’’.

[27] It was asked from Imam Ali -asws son of Muhammad (Al-Taqi -asws 10 th Imam) about the Holy Verse: And he raised his parents upon the throne and they fell down to him in Sajdah to him [12:100] , did Yaqoub -as and his -as sons -as do Sajdah to Yusuf -as while (although) they -as were Prophets -as ?

Imam -asws replied: As for the Sajdahs of Yaqoub -as and his -as sons, it was obedience to Allah -azwj and love for Yusuf -as , just as the Sajdahs of the Angels to Adam -as did not happen for Adam -as , and rather that was obedience to Allah -azwj and love from them for Adam -as . So, Yaqoub -as and his -as sons -as did Sajdah, and Yusuf -as was (also) with them -as , thanking Allah -azwj for the gathering of their family.
