12.31 - So when she heard of their plan, she sent for them and prepared for them a recliner and brought to each of them a knife and said (to Yusuf): Come out before them. So when they saw him, they admired him and cut their hands and said: Perfect is Allah. This is not a human; indeed, this is not except an honourable angel. 12.32 - She said: That is the one about whom you blamed me, and I have certainly sought to seduce him to give himself, but he abstained. And if he does not do what I command him, he will surely be imprisoned and will be among those humiliated. 12.33 - He (Yusuf) said: My Lord! Prison will be more likeable to me than that for which they invite me; and if You avert not their plan from me, I will incline toward them and be among the ignorant. 12.34 - So his Lord responded to him and averted from him their plan. Indeed, He is the Hearing, the Knowing. 12.35 - Then it appeared to them after they had seen the signs that they should imprison him for a time. 12.36 - And there entered the prison with him two young men. One of them said: Indeed, I have seen myself pressing wine. And the other said: I have seen myself carrying over my head bread of which the birds eat. Inform us of its interpretation; indeed, we see you among those who do good. 12.37 - He (Yusuf) said: I will not receive food that is provided to you except that I will inform you both of its interpretation before it comes to you. That is from what my Lord has taught me; indeed, I have left the religion of a people who do not believe in Allah; and in the hereafter they will be those who are unbelievers. 12.38 - And I have followed the religion of my fathers, Ibrahim and Ishaq and Yaqoub; it never was for us to associate with Allah a thing. That is from the grace of Allah upon us and upon the people, but most people do not give thanks. 12.39 - O my two companions of prison! Are divided lords better or Allah the One, the Prevailing? 12.40 - You do not worship other than Him except names which you have named, you and your fathers; Allah has not sent down for it any authority. Indeed, judgment is only for Allah; He has commanded that you do not worship except Him. That is the correct religion but most people do not know.
