Kamāl al-Dīn wa Tamām al-Niʿma|Volume 1|Book 2|Chapter 5
حدثنا محمد بن علي ماجيلويه - رضي الله عنه - قال: حدثنا محمد بن - يحيى العطار قال: حدثنا الحسين بن الحسن بن أبان، عن محمد بن أورمة، عن محمد بن إسماعيل بن بزيع، عن أبي إسماعيل السراج، عن بشر بن جعفر، عن المفضل - الجعفي أظنه عن أبي عبد الله عليه السلام قال: سمعته يقول: أرتدي ما كان قميص يوسف عليه السلام؟ قلت: لا قال: إن إبراهيم عليه السلام لما أوقدت له النار أتاه جبرئيل عليه السلام بثوب من ثياب الجنة وألبسه إياه فلم يضره معه حر ولا برد، فلما حضر إبراهيم الموت جعله في تميمة وعلقه إسحاق، وعلقه إسحاق على يعقوب، فلما ولد ليعقوب يوسف علقه عليه، وكان في عضده حتى كان من أمره ما كان، فلما أخرج يوسف القميص من التميمة، وجد يعقوب ريحه، وهو قوله: إني لأجد ريح يوسف لولا أن تفندون " فهو ذلك القميص الذي انزل من الجنة، قال: قلت: جعلت فداك فإلى من صار ذلك القميص؟ قال: إلى أهله ثم قال: كل نبي ورث علما أو غيره فقد انتهي إلى (آل) محمد صلى الله عليه وآله.
فروي " أن القائم عليه السلام إذا خرج يكون عليه قميص يوسف، ومعه عصا موسى، وخاتم سليمان عليهم السلام ".

Narrated to us Muhammad bin Ali Majilaway رضي الله عنه that: Narrated to us Muhammad bin Yahya al-Attar who said: Narrated to us Husain bin Hasan bin Aban, from Muhammad bin Uramiya from Muhammad bin Ismail bin Bazee from Ismail Sarraj from Bashir bin Ja’far from Mufaddal - (perhaps) al-Jofi - from Abi Abdullah عليه السلام that he said:
“Do you know what the garment of Yusuf was? ‘No,’ replied I. He said, “When fire was lit for (burning) Ibrahim عليه السلام Jibraeel brought a garment of Paradise for him and dressed him in it. That garment protected him from heat and cold and when his death approached, he made it into an arm band and tied it to Ishaq; Ishaq in turn tied it to Yaqoob and when Yusuf was born Yaqoob tied it on him. And it was tied to his arm till those circumstances befell him.
Thus when Yusuf removed it from the arm band in Egypt, Yaqoob perceived its fragrance and it is about the same thing that Allah quotes him saying: «Most surely I perceive the fragrance of Yusuf, unless you pronounce me to be weak in judgment» (12:94) It is the same garment that had come down from Paradise.” I said: May I be sacrificed on you, whom did this garment reach after him? He replied, “To the one deserving of it. And the garment is with our Qaim, when he would reappear. Then he said: All knowledge or things inherited by every prophet have reached to [the progeny of] Muhammad صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم.”
It is narrated that when the Qaim reappears he will reappear wearing the shirt of Yusuf عليه السلام and will also have the staff of Musa عليه السلام and the ring of Prophet Sulaiman عليه السلام.
