The Vizier was one of the personifications of the Name, Jacob, while the Lord Joseph is the sought-after Rab. As for Zuleika, she is Asma bint Umays al-Khath’amiyya in the Muhammadan Hashemite Cycle, and she is Asiya bint Muzahim in the Mosaic Cycle. Rachel, the mother of Joseph, is Fatima bint Asad. As for Dunya, she is Fakhita Umm Hani, the daughter of Abu Talib. The brothers of Joseph are the sons of Abd al-Muttalib; they are also the eight sons of the Lord Mim and the three sons of Abu Talib: Ja'far, Aqil, and Talib.
We shall provide an explanation of the Josephite manifestation in the chapter on the interpretation of the Quran, as God the Almighty grants success through His aid and kindness. The Meaning—exalted be He—manifested as Joshua son of Nun in Essence, not through examples or attributes. After the occultation of Moses—exalted be his glory—He manifested the battle against those of the Children of Israel who deviated. With them was Safra, the daughter of Jethro and wife of Moses ibn Imran—exalted be his glory; she led them upon a giraffe—she being the Humayra who fought the Lord, our Master—exalted be his glory—while He was Joshua son of Nun. Later, she fought Him upon a camel—she being the Humayra—while He was Amir Almuminin, exalted be his glory.1
Lord Salman—peace be upon him—looked at her during one of the raids with the Lord Mim—exalted be his glory—while she was in a palanquin (howdah). He said to our Master: "O Serahang of the believers!" Our Master Amir Almuminin—exalted be his glory—replied: "At your service, O Kay Khosrow." He said: "Speak of the Yellow Companion and the Red Companion." Amir Almuminin—exalted be his glory—replied: "Yes (Areh)."
