Al-Hasan said, “Joseph was thrown into the well when he was seventeen years old. He then spent eighty years in slavery, in prison, and in kingship; once his family was finally reunited, he lived on for another fifty-three years.”
٤٢١ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أبِي، أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، عَنْ يُونُسَ قَالَ: قَالَ الْحَسَنُ: «أُلْقِيَ يُوسُفُ فِي الْجُبِّ، وَهُوَ ابْنُ سَبْعَ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً، فَكَانَ فِي الْعُبُودِيَّةِ، وَفِي السِّجْنِ، وَفِي الْمُلْكِ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ جُمِعَ لَهُ شَمْلُهُ، فَعَاشَ ثَلَاثًا وَخَمْسِينَ سَنَةً»
