Critique and review of interpretive narrations due to the affliction of Prophet Yaqub (AS) with the separation of Yusuf (AS)

The Holy Qur'an has had sacred purposes in telling its stories, so in quoting them, it has limited itself to the sections related to educational purposes, but unfortunately, sometimes the commentators, citing some narrations quoted in the books of the ancients, have explained the hidden dimensions of the Qur'anic stories, without investigating the authenticity of these narrations or note that what is not mentioned in the Qur'an about stories is beyond the scope of these stories. This approach is also reflected in explaining why Ya'qub (AS) suffered from the separation of Yusuf (AS) and some commentators have considered the refusal of Ya'qub (AS) to feed the poor and his complaint to God as the reason for this separation. The present study, studying the early Shiite sources, found the origin of this interpretation in only two narrations, and by evaluating them, it became clear that one of these two narrations is weak in terms of document and the other narration in spite of having a correct document, its different sections are violated by various evidences. As a result, none of them can be relied on.
