قال ما خطبكن اذ راودتن يوسف عن نفسه قلن حاش لله ما علمنا عليه من سوء قالت امرات العزيز الان حصحص الحق انا راودته عن نفسه وانه لمن الصادقين

(The king) said (to the ladies): "What was your affair When ye did seek to seduce Joseph from his (true) self?" The ladies said: "God Preserve us! no evil Know we against him!" Said the ’Azīz's wife: "Now is the truth manifest (To all): it was I Who sought to seduce him From his (true) self: He is indeed of those Who are (ever) true (and virtuous).
