Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "I marvel at the patience and noble character of my brother Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him), may Allah Almighty forgive him. When a message was sent to him so that he would interpret the dream, had I been there, I would not have done it until I had first been brought out. And I marvel at his patience and noble character, may Allah Almighty forgive him: when the message came to take him out, he did not come out until he had informed them of his innocence, whereas had it been me, I would have rushed to the door. And had it not been for that word, he would not have remained in the prison, when he sought relief from a servant other than Allah and said: 'Mention me before your master.'"
Imam al-Tabarani recorded it, and its chain contains a narrator, Ibrahim bin Yazid al-Qurashi al-Makki, and he is matruk (abandoned).
