And thus We made a place for Yusuf in the land, and it was in order that We may teach him the interpretation of discourses. And Allah is Dominant in His purpose, but most of men know not. 21 When he reached the prime of life We gave him wisdom and knowledge.

He said: I seek Allah's refuge, surely my Lord made good my abode: Surely the unjust do not prosper. 23 And she advanced towards him, and had Joseph not perceived a sign from his Lord he too would have advanced towards her.

They found her husband at the door.
