4. Ali ibn Ibrahim has narrated from his father from ibn Mahbub from al-Hassan ibn ‘Ammar al-Dahhan from Misma’ from Abu ‘Abdillah عليه السلام who has said the following: “When Joseph’s brothers threw him in the well, Jibril (Gabriel) came to him and asked, ‘O young man, what are you doing here?’ He replied, ‘My brothers have thrown me in the well.’ Jibril (Gabriel) asked, ‘Would you like to get out of the well?’ He said, ‘That is up to Allah, the Most Majestic, the Most Holy, if He wills. He will take me out.’ Jibril (Gabriel) said, ‘Allah, the Most High, says you should plead before Him for help with this supplication so He takes you out of the well.’ He then asked, ‘What is that supplication?’ Jibril (Gabriel) told him to say, ‘O Lord, I plead before You, acknowledging that all praise belongs to You, no one deserves to be worshipped except You, Who confers favors, the Inventor of the heavens and earth. Possessor of glory and magnanimity, grant al-Salat (favors) upon Muhammad and his family, find a way out of the condition in which I am.’ The Imam said, ‘What happened to Joseph thereafter is what Allah has mentioned in His book, the Holy Quran.’” (See Chapter 12 of the Holy Quran)
