PROPHET YUSUF (AS) MEETS HIS
LITTLE BROTHER
The brothers of Prophet Yusuf (as) came to Egypt, bringing
their little brother with them, and again came into the presence of the
prophet. Here, Prophet Yusuf (as) separated his little brother from
the others and revealed his true identity:

It appears from Prophet Yusuf’s words that his brothers had
