إِنَّ يُوسُفَ ( عليه السلام ) لَمَّا قَدِمَ عَلَيْهِ الشَّيْخُ يَعْقُوبُ ( عليه السلام ) دَخَلَهُ عِزُّ الْمُلْكِ فَلَمْ يَنْزِلْ إِلَيْهِ فَهَبَطَ جَبْرَئِيلُ ( عليه السلام ) فَقَالَ يَا يُوسُفُ ابْسُطْ رَاحَتَكَ فَخَرَجَ مِنْهَا نُورٌ سَاطِعٌ فَصَارَ فِي جَوِّ السَّمَاءِ فَقَالَ يُوسُفُ يَا جَبْرَئِيلُ مَا هَذَا النُّورُ الَّذِي خَرَجَ مِنْ رَاحَتِي فَقَالَ نُزِعَتِ النُّبُوَّةُ مِنْ عَقِبِكَ عُقُوبَةً لِمَا لَمْ تَنْزِلْ إِلَى الشَّيْخِ يَعْقُوبَ فَلَا يَكُونُ مِنْ عَقِبِكَ نَبِيٌّ .


Translation

A number of our companions, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad, from Marwak Bin Ubeyd, from the one who narrated it, (It has been narrated) from Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> having said: ‘Yusuf<sup>as</sup> was such that when the elderly Yaqoub<sup>as</sup> proceeded to him<sup>as</sup>, the might of the kingship entered into him<sup>as</sup> and he<sup>as</sup> did not dismount to (welcome) him<sup>as</sup>. So Jibraeel<sup>as</sup> descended and said: ‘O Yusuf<sup>as</sup>! Extend your<sup>as</sup> palm!’. So a shining light came out from it and came to be in the atmosphere of the sky. So Yusuf<sup>as</sup> said: ‘What is this light which came out from my<sup>as</sup> palm?’ So he<sup>as</sup> said: ‘The Prophet-hood has been Removed from your<sup>as</sup> children as a Punishment to what caused you<sup>as</sup> not to descend to the elderly Yaqoub<sup>as</sup>, therefore there will not happen to be a Prophet<sup>as</sup> from your<sup>as</sup> children’.
