Arabic text

وقد نطق القرآن بما كان من ولد يعقوب عليه السلام مع أخيهم يوسف عليه السلام وطرحهم إياه في الجب وبيعهم إياه بالثمن البخس وهم أولاد الأنبياء وفي الناس من يقول كانوا أنبياء. فإذا جاز منهم مثل ذلك مع عظم الخطإ فيه فلم لا يجوز مثله من جعفر بن علي مع ابن أخيه وأن يفعل معه من الجحد طمعا في الدنيا ونيلها وهل يمنع من ذلك أحد إلا مكابر معاند.

Translation

The Quran has spoken of the wrongs of the sons of Yaqub to their brother Yusuf and how they threw him into the well and sold him at a very insignificant price. And they were sons of the prophet, and some believe they were prophets. If they can perpetrate such a grave error against their brother, how Ja’far Ibn Ali cannot utter denials about his nephew in greed of worldly pleasures? Who can consider this impossible, but an obdurate opponent?

Translation: Sayyid Athar Husain S. H. Rizvi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
