The same famine that struck Egypt affected [[Canaan]] as well. Thus, Jacob (a) sent his sons to Egypt to bring some wheat. When Joseph (a) saw his brothers, he recognized them but they did not recognize him, but he treated them well. Later, Joseph’s brothers recognized him and eventually Jacob (a) and his family came to Egypt and visited Joseph (a). | The same famine that struck Egypt affected [[Canaan (region)|Canaan]] as well.

According to [[Qur'an 12]]:42, when Joseph (a) interpreted the dream of one of his inmates in prison to mean that he would be freed, he told him to remember him before his master. However, [[Satan]] “made him forget the remembrance of his master” (Qur'an 12:42), so Joseph (a) remained in prison for several years. There is disagreement among the commentators here; some believe that what is meant is that Satan made Joseph (a) forget God, but others maintain that the verse means that Satan made the inmate forget telling his master about Joseph (a). [['Allama Tabataba'i]] holds that the first view contradicts Qur'anic teachings, which indicate that, on the one hand, Joseph (a) was one of the purified servants of God, and, on the other hand, that Satan does not have any influence over such servants of God. | According to [[Qur'an 12]]:42, when Joseph (a) interpreted the dream of one of his inmates in prison to mean that he would be freed, he told him to remember him before his master.
