Jami at-Tirmidhi 3116 (Book 47, Hadith 168) #28765
The Nobility of Yusuf and the High Ranking Families of Prophets

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks about the Prophet Yusuf and how he was a noble man from a noble family. It also speaks about Prophet Lut and how Allah sent Prophets after him only to those of high ranking families or wealthy families.

Narrated Abu Hurairah: that the Messenger of Allah said: "Indeed, the honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable, the son of the honorable: Yusuf bin Ya'qub bin Ishaq bin Ibrahim". He said: "And if I were to have remained in the prison as long as Yusuf, then the messenger came, I would have accepted". Then he recited: When the messenger came to him, he said: "Return to your king and ask him: 'What happened to the women who cut their hands? (12:50)' He said: "May Allah have mercy upon Lut, certainly he used to lean toward powerful support, since he said: "Would that I had strength to overpower you, or that I could betake myself to some powerful support (11:80)". So Allah did not send a Prophet after him except among a high ranking family (Dhirwah) among his people". (Another chain) except that he said: "Allah did not send a Prophet after him except among a wealthy family (Tharwah) among his people". Muhammad bin 'Amr said: "Ath-Tharwah is riches and power. Abu 'Eisa said: This is more correct than the narration of AlFadl bin Must, (a narrator in the chain of #3116) and this Hadith is Hasan.
