English Translation
23Then the lady of the house in which he lived felt an intense desire for Joseph and wanted to have her way with him; she shut the doors tight and said: "Come here!" Joseph said: "I seek refuge in Allah from doing such a thing, for your husband is my master and my benefactor. He has given me a good position. It is a fact that wrongdoers who betray those who trust them will never attain what they hope for."
