And Yahudha said: I am the one who took the garment to Ya‘qub while it was stained with blood and I said that the wolf had eaten Yusuf.

It was around his neck when he was cast into the well, when he was imprisoned, and when his brothers entered upon him. He took the garment out of the tube and said: "Take this garment of mine and cast it over the face of my father, he will become sighted."
