Story of Prophet Yusuf (AS) Part-2

Prophet Yusuf (AS) in Egypt
Thus, Prophet Yusuf (AS) arrived in Egypt. At
the slave market the buyers were all attracted
by him, because he was a very handsome
young man. News of this remarkable youth
swept through the city. The Aziz (Governor of
Egypt and Chief Officer of the King), whose
name was Fotifaar, offered a price that none
could match. He brought Prophet Yusuf (AS)
home and told his wife Zuleikha that they
would adopt him as their son.
Zuleikha, however, was so taken by Prophet
Yusuf's (AS) beauty that she sought to have
an illegal association with him. A Prophet of
Allah could never be part of such an evil deed
and Prophet Yusuf (AS) backed away from the
advances of Zuleikha. As he raced for the door
she ripped his shirt from behind. At the door
they met the Aziz. On seeing her husband,
Zuleikha tried to blame Yusuf (AS) by claiming
that he had tried to lay a hand on her. Before
the Aziz could vent his fury on Prophet Yusuf
(AS), a baby spoke up from the cradle, and
the Holy Qur'an says:
And a witness from her own household
testified, "If his shirt is torn from the front,
then she speaks the truth and he is of the
liars. And if his shirt is torn from behind, then
she lies and he is of the truthful ones.
Surah Yusuf, 12:26,27
The shirt was, of course, torn from behind, and
the Aziz was extremely angry with his wife for
attempting such an act of indecency. The
women of the city heard about Zuleikha's
actions and began to gossip and make fun of
her. To explain her attraction she decided to
let them see Prophet Yusuf (AS) themselves.
She called forty of them to the palace for a
meal. As soon as they all had a knife to cut
some fruit, she called Prophet Yusuf (AS) into
the room on some excuse. So dazzled were
they by his beauty and presence, that they cut
their fingers in their distraction and exclaimed,
"This is not a human being - he must be an
angel!"
Zuleikha was furious with Prophet Yusuf (AS)
because he had caused her to be ridiculed. In
her anger and frustration, she caused him to
be imprisoned on false charges of assault.
