And thus, We established Joseph in the land that We might teach him the interpretation of events.

One of her household testified, "If his shirt is torn at the front then she is speaking the truth, and he is lying. 26 but if it be that his shirt has been torn from behind, then she has lied, and he is one of the truthful.' 27 When the husband saw the shirt torn at the back, he said: "Surely this is a woman's ruse, and the wiles of women are great. 28 “O Yusuf! Disregard this – and O woman! Seek forgiveness for your sin; indeed you are of the mistaken.” 29
