Both of them ran to the door. The woman tore his shirt from the back. To the side of the door, they encountered her husband. The woman said, “what else could the punishment be for those who want to harm your family but prison or a severe punishment?”
Tafsir
Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' got rid of her and ran towards the door to go out. The woman, on the other hand, catches up with him from behind to prevent him from going out and hangs him by his shirt, tearing it at the back. In the meantime, Hazrat Yusuf and the woman came across her husband Aziz of Egypt near the door. Meanwhile, Aziz was sitting by the door with her uncle.
Immediately, the woman slanders Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm' in self-defense. He says that the punishment for anyone who wants to harm your family should be either imprisonment or torture.
According to the narrations, it is said that the woman fell in love with Hadrat Yusuf 'alaihis-salâm'. Because he loved her so much, he said this in order to ensure that she would first be imprisoned so that her husband would not kill her, and that after she was released from prison, she would be sentenced to be beaten so that they would not do any harm to her.
What is said in the video
Surah Yusuf, verse 25: They both ran toward the door. That is, that (?) — we'd call him the Minister of Finance. Like today's Minister of Finance. The wife of the gentleman who handled Egypt's finances, when she wanted to have her way with Joseph, Joseph (peace be upon him), because he feared Allah, turns away from this and runs toward the door to escape the woman. Meanwhile the woman runs after him. That is, so as not to let him go. She insists on forcing him. So what does it say? They both ran toward the door. The woman tore his shirt from behind. Of course, when Joseph lunges toward the door and wants to get out, the woman, that shirt (?), it tears.
They met her husband at the door. When the door opens, of course, Joseph (peace be upon him) comes upon the woman's husband; and when the woman sees her husband in front of her this time, she slanders Joseph. What does she say? The woman said: What is the punishment of one who wanted to do evil to your wife, other than being thrown into prison or a painful torment, she says.
The slander is ready at once. In fact, at the start of a series of adventures through which Allah Almighty would raise Joseph, Joseph (peace be upon him), at the start of this misfortune, along the road of this adventure, or journey, begins to travel on. That is, the road of prison. Maturing there, and finally being cleared, and after that, more or less gaining a say over Egypt. Yes, Joseph (peace be upon him), to escape the woman and get outside, runs toward the door. The woman, to give him no chance to get out, catches up from behind and pulls at his shirt.
The shirt (?) at the back. Meanwhile Joseph and the woman are by the door. They come upon the woman's husband, the Aziz of Egypt, of Egypt. Aziz of Egypt is the name of the woman's husband.
Meanwhile the Aziz and the woman's cousin were sitting together by the door.
At once the woman, to defend herself, slanders Joseph (peace be upon him). She says: The punishment of one who wanted to do evil to your wife must be prison or torment. According to the narrations, they say the woman falls in love with Joseph (peace be upon him). Because she loved him so much, so that her husband would not kill him, first a life in prison, and after getting out of prison, so that they would do him no harm, to have him given a beating punishment, that is, a flogging punishment, and set free — that is why she said this, they say. Of course these are narrations, narrations. The woman may play all sorts of tricks; back then there was no beating punishment anyway, no beating punishment.
Perhaps, out of the feelings of the nafs, they could kill him, but there is no such religious ruling. That is, back then there was no religious ruling; no prophet had even come to them yet. These narrations are words that people, according to their own understanding of the religion of Islam, attribute to the woman. But the woman may well have fallen in love. True. Otherwise she wouldn't have attacked Joseph (peace be upon him) in this way. Yes.
