Hadith Commentary:

In this hadith, the noble lineage of Prophet Yusuf (alayhis salam) is mentioned.
He was the son of a noble father, the grandson of a noble grandfather, and the great-grandson of a noble great-grandfather.
We have already explained this previously.


In any case, in all these verses and narrations, there is mention of the virtues of Prophet Yusuf (alayhis salam) in one way or another. For this reason, Imam Bukhari (rahimahullah) has narrated these ahadith under the aforementioned chapter heading.

Hadith Commentary:
The relevance of this hadith to the noble verse is as follows: these four individuals—Yusuf (alayhis salam) and his forefathers—were all possessors of prophethood, and Allah, the Exalted, completed His favor upon them. In any case, Sayyiduna Yusuf (alayhis salam) is the most honored among them, as narrated from Abu Hurairah (radi Allahu anhu):

The people asked:
O Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam)! Who is the most honored? He replied:
“The one who is the most God-fearing (muttaqi).”
They said:
We are not asking about this. Then he said:
“Yusuf (alayhis salam), the Prophet of Allah, the son of Allah’s Prophet, the grandson of Allah’s Prophet, the great-grandson of Allah’s Prophet—he is the most honored.”
