Surat Yusuf (50-51)

{وَقَالَ الْمَلِكُ ائْتُونِي بِهِ فَلَمَّا جَاءهُ الرَّسُولُ قَالَ ارْجِعْ إِلَى رَبِّكَ فَاسْأَلْهُ مَا بَالُ النِّسْوَةِ اللاَّتِي قَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ إِنَّ رَبِّي بِكَيْدِهِنَّ عَلِيمٌ} (يوسف : 50)

50- That boy told the king about the expression of his dream as Yusuf (peace be upon him) told him. The king was astonished by that knowledge and wanted to know further about Yusuf. He said, "Bring me Yusuf."

When the messenger went to Yusuf to bring him as the king commanded, Yusuf refused to go with him and preferred to stay in Jail until his name is cleared so that he would come out pure and innocent from any doubt. Moreover, he wanted to prove that all the years he spent in prison were without guilt. He said to the messenger of the king, "Go back to your master and ask him about those women who cut their hands, and Allah is more knowledgeable of their mockery and what they had done to me, and He shall punish them for that."

{قَالَ مَا خَطْبُكُنَّ إِذْ رَاوَدتُّنَّ يُوسُفَ عَن نَّفْسِهِ قُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّهِ مَا عَلِمْنَا عَلَيْهِ مِن سُوءٍ قَالَتِ امْرَأَةُ الْعَزِيزِ الآنَ حَصْحَصَ الْحَقُّ أَنَاْ رَاوَدتُّهُ عَن نَّفْسِهِ وَإِنَّهُ لَمِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ} (يوسف : 51)

51- The king brought them to stand before him and said: What is your matter and why did you try to seduce Yusuf, and you warned him against disobeying his mistress if he does not obey her? Did he commit something illegal? They all said: God forbid! We have not seen any evil of him and he did not betray his master.

His mistress (the wife of Al `Aziz) said: Now the truth has become clear. It is me who tried hard to seduce him to commit fornication but he refused, was chaste in his actions, and truthful in his words.
