All of Joseph's brothers were jealous of him for his talents and because they thought their father favored him over the others (but obviously didn't). They plotted to kill him:
They said: "Truly Joseph and his brother are loved more by our father than we: But we are a goodly body! really our father is obviously wandering (in his mind)!
"Slay ye Joseph or cast him out to some (unknown) land, that so the favour of your father may be given to you alone: (there will be time enough) for you to be righteous after that!"
—Qur'an, sura 12 (Yusuf) ayat 8-9[7]
But one of the brothers, in the Bible this is said to be Ruben,[8] felt sorry for him, and suggested they throw him into a well, said to be Jubb Yussef (Joseph's Well), so that a caravan might pick him up and take him into slavery. One from among them said:
Said one of them: "Slay not Joseph, but if ye must do something, throw him down to the bottom of the well: he will be picked up by some caravan of travellers."
—Qur'an, sura 12 (Yusuf) ayah 10[9]
