The story of Yusuf (AS) continued.

Asaalam everyone,
Yesterday I was writing about the life of the Prophet Yusuf (AS), and I decided to finish of the story today, so without further delay, here we go:

Yusuf (AS) was let free, and after Zulakhia proved his innocence, he left the prison and was given a high responsibility, to look after finance and food. Once, the rest of his brothers were travelling to Egypt and Yusuf (AS) remembered them, however, they did not remember him, as he was quite young when they threw him into the well. Yusuf (AS) treated them to some item (If I remember correctly, for their trade, I am not very sure...) and even secretly put their money back into their bags, however, he said he heard they had another brother(his blood brother) and if they did not bring him next time they wouldn't get the items at such a great price. They knew their father would not allow him to go. They made so many promises, and eventually he allowed him to go. Yusuf (AS) was so happy to see his blood brother he invited them to dinner, and shared his room with his blood brother, and explained who he really was, and as he wanted him to stay, he placed an item in his bag. Whoever had the item could not leave- so he could not leave?

Obviously, his blood brother.

The brothers had no choice but to leave without him and after explaining to his father, his father was not happy but said that Allah knows best.
In fact, Yaqoob (AS)- their father, had actually lost his eyesight after crying so much when Yusuf (AS) was lost. Yaqoob (AS) knew they were together, and told his sons to look for them.

The brothers found out AYusuf (AS) was their brother and Yusuf (AS) told them there was no need to ask for his forgiveness, but to ask for Allah's forgiveness. Yusuf (AS) also told them to use his shirt and to take it to their father, and from the Yacoob (AS) regained his sight.
All of them settled in Egypt and the clan became the Banee Israel clan. Yusuf (AS) breathed his last at 105 years old. The Kingdom became Firawn's.

However,have you noticed something...
The Prophet Muhammad (PBUH) was also from this clan...
