أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ: أَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، ثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ
أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ، جَاءَتْ بِكِتَابٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ مِنْ قَصَصِ يُوسُفَ، فَجَعَلَتْ تَقْرَأُهُ، وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَتَلَوَّنُ وَجْهُهُ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ، لَوْ أَنْ أَتَاكُمْ يُوسُفُ فَاتَّبَعْتُمُوهُ وَتَرَكْتُمُونِي لَضَلَلْتُمْ

✧ Hafsah brought a book to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ containing stories of Yusuf, and began to read it. The Prophet ﷺ's face kept changing color, and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'By the One in whose hand is my soul, if Yusuf had come to you and you followed him and abandoned me, you would have gone astray.'
