حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ نَحْنُ أَحَقُّ بِالشَّكِّ مِنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ إِذْ قَالَ: (رَبِّ أَرِنِي كَيْفَ تُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى قَالَ أَوَلَمْ تُؤمِنْ قَالَ بَلَى وَلكِنْ لِيَطْمَئِنَّ قَلْبِي) وَيَرْحَمُ اللهُ لُوطًا، لَقَدْ كَانَ يَأْوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ؛ وَلَوْ لَبِثْتُ فِي السِّجْنِ طولَ مَا لَبِثَ يُوسُفَ لأَجَبْتُ الدَّاعِيَ.
Abū Huraira Narrated from:
Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “We are more liable to be in doubt than Ibrāhim (Abraham) when he said,‘My Lord! Show me how You give life to the dead.’ He (Allāh) said: ‘Do you not believe?’ He (Ibrāhim) said: ‘Yes, (I believe) but to be stronger in faith.’ (V.2:260)And may Allāh send His Mercy on Lout (Lot)! Certainly he used to lean on a powerful support. If I were to stay in prison for such a long time as Yūsuf (Joseph) did, I would have accepted the offer (of freedom without insisting on having my guiltlessness declared).” [1] ( Sahih Al-Bukhāri, Hadīth No. 591, Vol. 4)
[1] The Prophet ﷺ describes Yūsuf (Joseph) as a very perseverant person, for he refused to leave prison unless his opponents would declare his innocence. He stayed many years in prison till he was declared innocent. What the Prophet ﷺ
