A narration similar to the hadith of Fadl bin Musa is reported, but (the slight difference in their narration is that) they said: «ما بعث الله بعده نبيا إلا في ثروة من قومه» (in this hadith, instead of «ذر وہ», it is «ثروه», and the meaning of «ثروة» is: greater number). Muhammad bin Amr says: The meaning of «ثروه» is abundance and grandeur. This narration is more authentic than that of Fadl bin Musa, and this hadith is Hasan.
´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." (Another chain) except that he said: "Allah did not send a Prophet after him except among a wealthy family (Tharwah) among his people." Muhammad bin 'Amr said: "Ath-Tharwah is riches and power. [Abu 'Eisa said:] This is more correct than the narration of AlFadl bin Must, (a narrator in the chain of no. 3116) and this Hadith is Hasan.
