Yusuf 31

فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ اَرْسَلَتْ اِلَيْهِنَّ وَاَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَـًٔا وَاٰتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سِكّ۪ينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّۚ فَلَمَّا رَاَيْنَهُٓ اَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ اَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلّٰهِ مَا هٰذَا بَشَرًاۜ اِنْ هٰذَٓا اِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَر۪يمٌ ۝٣١

31When the Aziz's wife heard of the women's gossip about her, she invited them to her house and prepared a lavish banquet for them. She gave each of them a knife. Then she said to Joseph: "Go out to them." When the women saw him, they were so dazzled by his beauty that they lost themselves and cut their hands. And they said: "Allah preserve us! This cannot be a human being; he can only be a wonderful angel!"
