Wa raawadat hul latee huwa fee baitihaa 'an nafsihee wa ghallaqatil abwaaba wa qaalat haita lak; qaala ma'aazal laahi innahoo rabbeee ahsana maswaay; innahoo laa yuflihuz-zaalimoon

12:23. And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him. She closed the doors and said, "Come, you." He said, "[I seek] the refuge of Allah. Indeed, he is my master, who has made good my residence. Indeed, wrongdoers will not succeed."

تو جس عورت کے گھر میں وہ رہتے تھے اس نے ان کو اپنی طرف مائل کرنا چاہا اور دروازے بند کرکے کہنے لگی (یوسف) جلدی آؤ۔ انہوں نے کہا کہ خدا پناہ میں رکھے (وہ یعنی تمہارے میاں) تو میرے آقا ہیں انہوں نے مجھے اچھی طرح سے رکھا ہے (میں ایسا ظلم نہیں کرسکتا) بےشک ظالم لوگ فلاح نہیں پائیں گے
