Then after many years, when the brothers of Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام went to Egypt for the second time during the drought to take some grain, and his brothers expressed remorse after recognising him, and sought his forgiveness, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام forgave them and said, ‘There is no blame upon you today. May Allah Almighty forgive you, He is the Most Merciful.’

When he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام asked regarding the state of his father, Sayyiduna Yaqoob عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, his brothers told him that due to weeping so much on account of being separated from him, he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام has become extremely fragile, and his eyesight has become very weak. Hearing the state of his father from his brothers, Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام became deeply upset, and he عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام said to his brothers:

اِذْهَبُوْا بِقَمِیْصِیْ هٰذَا فَاَلْقُوْهُ عَلٰى وَجْهِ اَبِیْ یَاْتِ بَصِیْرًاۚ-وَ اْتُوْنِیْ بِاَهْلِكُمْ اَجْمَعِیْنَ۠(۹۳)

[Kanz-ul-Iman (translation of Quran)] (Part 13, Surah Yusuf, verse 93)

Thus, the brothers of Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام took this shirt and travelled from Egypt to Kan’aan. From among his brothers, Yahooda said, ‘I will take this shirt to Sayyiduna Yaqoob عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام, as it was me who placed Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام in the well and then took his blood-stained shirt to him (Sayyiduna Yaqoob عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام). And it was me who caused him grief by telling him that a wolf had eaten Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام. Therefore, as I had previously caused him grief, today, I will give this shirt and bring him joy by giving him the glad tidings that Sayyiduna Yusuf عَـلَيْـهِ الـسَّـلَام is alive.’

So, Yahooda took that shirt and ran barefoot for 80 Kaus. He had 7 pieces of bread as provision for the journey, but due to his excessive happiness and desire to arrive home, he was unable to even eat the
