Some commentators understand it as a miracle to prove Joseph and Jacob's prophethood; but the Holy Qurän is silent in this case. We believe the incident to be some sort of thought transference, which technically it is called ©telepathy¨ and is known as apparent communication from one mind to another, otherwise than through the channels of senses.

      The story of the shirt and the scent of Joseph, has opened an important file and record in Persian literature. As an instance; the great poet, SAADI, has composed that:ِ

      Jacob was asked; ``You felt the scent of his shirt from Egypt,

       Why did you not see him in Canaan's well!?''

      And he answered; ``We sometimes sit on the highest point of the Dome

       (i.e.WE HAVE VERY EXTENSIVE FIELD OF SIGHT)

       And sometimes we cannot see the front of our foot!''

      Their likeness is the likeness of a man who walks in a wide desert; in a very dark night in which the heavy clouds prevent even a star to flicker; but sometimes a flash of lightning strikes down and alights all the desert and the traveller is able to see here and there and this and that.
