SURAH YUSUF 23-24
23. And she, in whose house he was,
sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), and
she closed the doors and said: "Come on, 0
you." He said: "I seek refuge in Allah ( or
Allah forbid)! Truly, he (your husband) is my
master! He made my living in a great
comfort! (So I will never betray him). Verily,
the Zalimun (wrong and evil-doers) will never
be successful."
24. And indeed she did desire him, and he
would have inclined to her desire, had he not
seen the evidence of his Lord. Thus it was,
that We might turn away from him evil and illegal sexual intercourse. Surely, he was one
of Our chosen (guided) slaves.
25. So they raced with one another to the
door, and she tore his shirt from the back.
They both found her lord (i.e. her husband) at
the door. She said: "What is the recompense
(punishment) for him who intended an evil
design against your wife, except that he be
put in prison or a painful torment?"
26. He [Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "It was she
that sought to seduce me;" and a witness of
her household bore witness (saying): "If it be
that his shirt is tom from the front, then her
tale is true and he is a liar!
27. "But if it be that his shirt is tom from
the back, then she has told a lie and he is
speaking the truth!"
28. So when he (her husband) saw his
[(Yusuf's (Joseph)] shirt tom at the back, he
(her husband) said: "Surely, it is a plot of you
women! Certainly mighty is your plot!
29. "O Yusuf (Joseph)! Turn away from
this! (0 woman!) Ask forgiveness for your
sin. Verily, you were of the sinful."
