“Jacob wept over Joseph for eighty years, and during that time he was the most honored person on earth in the sight of God.”
٤٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبَّادٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ رَجَاءٍ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنِ الْحَسَنِ قَالَ: «بَكَى يَعْقُوبُ، عَلَى يُوسُفَ ثَمَانِينَ سَنَةً، وَكَانَ أَكْرَمَ أَهْلِ الْأَرْضِ يَوْمَئِذٍ عَلَى اللَّهِ – Exalté soit-Il –»
