دیدار یوسف(ع) با برادران پس از چهل سال

گفته‌اند که دیدار یوسف(ع) با برادرانش پس از چمل سال انجام شد و به همین جهت آنها او را نشناختند. به علاوه ایشان هرگز فکر نمی‌کردند که یوسفی که با آن وضع در چاه افتاد و به چند درهم فروخته شدء بر تخت وزارت تکیه زند. یوسف نیز در ابتدا خود را به برادرانش معرفی نکرد؛ زیرا می‌خواست ابتدا برادر مادری‌اش را احضار کند و هنگامی که خود را برای دیگر برادرانش معرفی می‌کند. او نیز حاضر باشد - چنان که در یات ‎٩۰‏ و ‎٩۱‏ آمده است - و به آنها نشان دهد که خداوند به خاطر صبر و تقوای او و برادرش که او نیز همچون یوسف به خاطر حسادت برادران متحمل سختی‌های زیادی شده بودء چگونه آن دو را مشمول رحمت و پاداش خویش کرده است.؟ تذکر این نکته لازم است که بنیامین؛ برادر «بوینی» یعنی پدر و مادری حضرت یوسف بوده است؛ اما سایر برادران» تنها از ناحیة پدر (حضرت یعقوب) با او مشترک و از مادر جدا بودند. > **پانوشت صفحه (منابع):** > ۴ المیزان» جچ۱ ص ۲۱۱ > ۴ المیزان» چ۱ ص ۲۱۱ > ۱- المیزان» ۱۱ ص ۲۰۱ ۲- پیشین» ص ۲۰۹ ۳ اطیب‌البیان» ج۷» ص ۲۲۱ > ۳ اطیب‌البیان» ج۷» ص ۲۲۱ > اهرهه > **Cited sources** (grade before any load-bearing use): al-Mīzān, Aṭyab al-Bayān.
