Waqala almaliku i/toonee bihi falamma jaahu alrrasoolu qala irjiAA ila rabbika fais-alhu ma balu alnniswati allatee qattaAAna aydiyahunna inna rabbee bikaydihinna AAaleemun\n50. So the king said:\n \"Bring ye him unto me.\"\n But when the messenger\n Came to him, (Joseph) said:\n \"Go thou back to thy lord,\n And ask him, \"What is\n The state of mind\n Of the ladies\n Who cut their hands?\"\n For my Lord is\n Certainly well aware\n Of their snare.\"\n51. Qala ma khatbukunna ith rawadtunna yoosufa AAan nafsihi qulna hasha lillahi ma AAalimna AAalayhi min soo-in qalati imraatu alAAazeezi al-ana hashasa alhaqqu ana rawadtuhu AAan nafsihi wa-innahu lamina alssadiqeena\n51. (The king) said (to the ladies):\n \"What was your affair\n When ye did seek to seduce\n Joseph from his (true) self?\"\n The ladies said: \"God\n Preserve us! no evil\nKnow we against him!\"\n Said the \u2019Az\u012bz's wife:\n \"Now is the truth manifest\n (To all): it was I\n Who sought to seduce him\n From his (true) self:\n He is indeed of those\n Who are (ever) true (and virtuous).\n52. Thalika liyaAAlama annee lam akhunhu bialghaybi waanna Allaha la yahdee kayda alkha-ineena\n52. \"This (say I), in order that\n He may know that I\n Have never been false\n To him in his absence,\n And that God will never\n Guide the snare of the false ones.\n53. Wama obarri-o nafsee inna alnnafsa laammaratun bialssoo-i illa ma rahima rabbee inna rabbee ghafoorun raheemun\n53. \"Nor do I absolve my own self\n (Of blame): the (human) soul\n Is certainly prone to evil,\n Unless my Lord do bestow\n His Mercy: but surely\n My Lord is Oft-Forgiving,\n Most Merciful.\"\n54. Waqala almaliku i/toonee bihi astakhlishu linafsee falamma kallamahu qala innaka alyawma ladayna makeenun ameenun\n54. So the king said:\n \"Bring him unto me;\n I will take him specially\n To serve about my own person.\"\n Therefore when he had spoken\n To him, he said:\n \"Be assured this day,\n Thou art, before our own Presence,\n With rank firmly established,\n And fidelity fully proved!\n55. Qala ijAAalnee AAala khaza-ini al-ardi innee hafeethun AAaleemun\n55. (Joseph) said: \"Set me\n Over the store-houses\n Of the land: I will\n Indeed guard them,\nAs one that knows\n (Their importance).\"\n56. Wakathalika makanna liyoosufa fee al-ardi yatabawwao minha haythu yashao nuseebu birahmatina man nashao wala nudeeAAu ajra almuhsineena\n56. \"Thus did we give\n Established power to Joseph\n In the land, to take possession\n Therein as, when, or where\n He pleased. We bestow\n Of Our mercy on whom\n We please, and We suffer not,\n To be lost, the reward\n Of those who do good.\n57. Walaajru al-akhirati khayrun lillatheena amanoo wakanoo yattaqoona\n57. But verily the reward\n Of the Hereafter\n Is the best, for those\n Who believe, and are constant\n In righteousness.","title":"The Quran: S\u016bra XII.: Y\u016bsuf, or Joseph.: Sectio...","type":"page"}
