And the Egyptian who bought him said to his wife: "Make his stay
honorable. It may be he will be of benefit to us, or that we may adopt
him as a son." And likewise We fixed up establishment for Yusuf
in the land, and that We might teach him the explanation of happenings.
And Allah prevails in His command, but most men do not know. |

And when he attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and knowledge.
And likewise We reward the doers of good. |

And she in whose house he was, desired him to yield himself, and she
closed the doors and said: "Come on!" He said: "Refuge
with Allah; surely He, my Rabb, has made good my lodging. Surely the
wrongdoers are never made to prosper." |
| 24
And certainly she resolved to have him, and he would have resolved
for her, had he not seen the power of his Rabb. Likewise it was that
We might turn away evil and indecency from him. Surely he was one
of Our devoted bondsmen. |

And they both raced for the door, and she rent his shirt from behind,
and they both met her husband near the door. She said: "What
is the recompense of one who intends evil to your wife except that
he be put in prison or a painful punishment?" |
| 26
He said: "She desired me to yield myself." And a witness
from her family bore witness: "If his shirt be torn at the front,
then she has spoken the truth and he is of the liars. |
| 27
"And if his shirt be torn at the back, then she has told lies
and he is of the truthful." |
| 28
So that when he saw that his shirt was torn from behind, he said:
"It is certainly a device of you women; your device is indeed
a stupendous one! |
| 29
"O Yusuf! pass this over. And ask forgiveness for your sin; surely
you are among the guilty." |

And the Egyptian (-the Aziz) who bought him (Gen.
37:36; 39:1) said to his wife (Zulaikha): "Make
his stay honorable. It may be he will be of benefit to us, or
that we may adopt him as a son." And likewise (as contemplated)
We fixed up establishment for Yusuf in the land, and that
We might teach him the explanation of (these) happenings.
And Allah prevails (all) in (the execution of) His
command (to which none can exercise any option), but
most men do not know (it). |
| 22
And when he attained his maturity, We gave him wisdom and
knowledge (and thus he got an old head on young shoulders).
And likewise (with knowledge and wisdom) We reward
the doers of good (Gen. 39:2). |
| 23
And (along with the common women of Egypt, even their
ladyships enjoyed free life, so) she in whose house he was,
desired him to yield himself (to her), and she closed
the doors and said: "Come on (my dear, Gen. 39:7-12)!"
He said: "(God forbid! I seek) refuge with Allah;
surely He, my Rabb, has made good my lodging (and I must
be faithful to the house). Surely the wrongdoers are never
made to prosper." |
| 24
And certainly she resolved to have him, and he would have
resolved for her (under such circumstances), had he not
seen the power of his Rabb (because the temptation along
with obligation to the lady was very strong to resist). Likewise
it was (by making him pass the test) that We might turn
away evil and indecency from him. Surely he was one of Our devoted
bondsmen (2:23). |
| 25
And they both raced for the door, and she (could only
catch hold of the back of his shirt to detain him, and she)
rent his shirt from behind, and (it happened that on
opening the door) they both met her husband near the door.
(Whereas come blows, love goes) she (not realizing that
he who excuses himself accuses himself) said: "What
is the recompense of one who intends evil to your wife except
that he be put in prison or (inflicted) a painful punishment?" |
| 26
He (-Yusuf) said: "(It is not I who intended
evil to your wife, but) she desired me to yield myself
(to her)." And (during the dispute) a witness
from her family bore witness (with wisdom): "If
his shirt be torn at the front (it will indicate that he
had been advancing towards her, and there was a scuffle),
then she has spoken the truth and he is of the liars. |
| 27
"And if his shirt be torn at the back, then she has
told lies (because she must have been tugging from behind)
and he is of the truthful (because he must obviously
have been fleeing)." |
| 28
So that when he (-the husband) saw that his shirt
was torn from behind, he (could understand what had happened,
and innocence being the best defense) said: "(Full
of courtesy, full of craft!) It is certainly a device of
you women; your device is indeed a stupendous one (as you
proved yourself unfaithful to me, and at the same time put the
blame on an innocent youth)! |
| 29
"O Yusuf! pass this over. And (O my Ladyship!) ask
forgiveness for your sin (first of Yusuf, then of Allah);
surely you are among the guilty (because a nice wife and
a back door, often do make a rich man poor)." |
