Why was the story of Prophet Yusuf mentioned only in Surat Yusuf, while the stories of other prophets are found in more than one Surah?
Allah Almighty mentioned the stories of the prophets in the Qur’an for lessons and confirmation, repeating some and singling out others. The story of Joseph (peace be upon him) was mentioned in full in one , distinguished as "the best of stories" due to the lessons and wisdom it contains. Perhaps this is also due to its beauty, which made it preserved without repetition, or because it contained the temptation of women and Joseph's beauty, or as an indication of the Arabs' inability to challenge the Qur’an, or because it was revealed in response to the Companions' request for a full narration, thus it was revealed in a comprehensive and complete manner.
