وَلَمَّا بَلَغَ أَشُدَّهُۥٓ ءَاتَيۡنَٰهُ حُكۡمٗا وَعِلۡمٗاۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ
(12:22) And when Joseph reached the age of maturity, We granted him judgement
and knowledge.0 Thus do We reward those who do good.

وَرَٰوَدَتۡهُ ٱلَّتِي هُوَ فِي بَيۡتِهَا عَن نَّفۡسِهِۦ وَغَلَّقَتِ ٱلۡأَبۡوَٰبَ وَقَالَتۡ هَيۡتَ لَكَۚ قَالَ مَعَاذَ ٱللَّهِۖ إِنَّهُۥ رَبِّيٓ أَحۡسَنَ مَثۡوَايَۖ إِنَّهُۥ لَا يُفۡلِحُ ٱلظَّـٰلِمُونَ
(12:23) And it so happened that the lady in whose house Joseph was living,
sought to tempt him to herself, and one day bolting the doors she said: "Come
on now!" Joseph answered: "May Allah grant me refuge! My Lord has provided an
honourable abode for me (so how can I do something so evil)? Such wrong-doers
never prosper."1

وَلَقَدۡ هَمَّتۡ بِهِۦۖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوۡلَآ أَن رَّءَا بُرۡهَٰنَ رَبِّهِۦۚ كَذَٰلِكَ لِنَصۡرِفَ عَنۡهُ ٱلسُّوٓءَ وَٱلۡفَحۡشَآءَۚ إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ
(12:24) And she advanced towards him, and had Joseph not perceived a sign2
from his Lord he too would have advanced towards her. Thus was Joseph shown
a sign from his Lord that We might avert from him all evil and indecency,3
for indeed he was one of Our chosen servants.
