حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلامٍ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدَةُ ، قَالَ : أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”إِنَّ الْكَرِيمَ ابْنَ الْكَرِيمِ ابْنِ الْكَرِيمِ ابْنِ الْكَرِيمِ ، يُوسُفُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ بْنِ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ خَلِيلِ الرَّحْمَنِ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى“، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ”لَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفُ ، ثُمَّ جَاءَنِي الدَّاعِي لأَجَبْتُ ، إِذْ جَاءَهُ الرَّسُولُ ، فَقَالَ : ﴿ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللَّاتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ﴾ [يوسف : 50] ، وَرَحْمَةُ اللَّهِ عَلَى لُوطٍ ، إِنْ كَانَ لَيَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ ، إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِ : ﴿لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ﴾ [هود : 80]، فَمَا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ بَعْدَهُ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ إِلا فِي ثَرْوَةٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ“، قَالَ مُحَمَّدٌ : الثَّرْوَةُ : الْكَثْرَةُ وَالْمَنَعَةُ .
Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The noble, son of the noble, son of the noble, son of the noble is Yusuf (Joseph), son of Yaqub (Jacob), son of Ishaq (Isaac), son of Ibrahim (Abraham), the friend of Allah." The narrator says that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If I had remained in prison for as long as Yusuf (peace be upon him) did, and then the caller had come to me, I would have accepted his word. When the messenger came to him and said: «ارجع الى ربك» 'Go to your lord and ask him what happened to those women who cut their hands.'” [سورہ یوسف: 50] And may Allah have mercy on Lut (Lot, peace be upon him) when he was compelled to seek refuge with a strong group, at the time when he said to his people: 'If only I had strength to resist you or could take refuge in a strong group.' After him, Allah did not send any prophet whose family and tribe were not powerful." Imam Bukhari (may Allah have mercy on him) says: «ثروة» means the one who is greatest in number, strength, and defense.
