جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3116
Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: Indeed, the honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable: Yusuf bin Ya'qub bin Ishaq bin Ibrahim. He said: And if I were to have remained in the prison as long as Yusuf, then the messenger came, I would have accepted. Then he recited: When the messenger came to him, he said: Return to your king and ask him: 'What happened to the women who cut their hands? (12:50)' He said: May Allah have mercy upon Lut, certainly he used to lean toward powerful support, since he said: Would that I had strength to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (11:80). So Allah did not send a Prophet after him except among a high ranking family (Dhirwah) among his people.
