surah Yusuf aya 31 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِّنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ﴾
[ يوسف: 31]
12:31 So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said [to Joseph], "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishWhen the wife of the minister heard of their disapproval of her and their gossip about her, she sent an invitation to them to come and see Joseph, so that they would excuse her.
She prepared for them a place with cushions and pillows and she gave each one of the women who were invited a knife to cut food.
She then said to Joseph ( peace be upon him ), ‘Go out to them!’ When they saw him, they were taken aback by his beauty and stunned by his handsomeness.
As a result, they cut their hands with the knives that were meant for cutting food and they said: Allah is free of faults! This boy is not human.
The beauty he possesses is not found in human beings.
He can only be one of the noble angels.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
So when she heard of their accusation, she sent for them and prepared a banquet for them; she gave each one of them a knife (to cut the foodstuff with), and she said [(to Yusuf (Joseph)]: "Come out before them." Then, when they saw him, they exalted him (at his beauty) and (in their astonishment) cut their hands. They said: "How perfect is Allah (or Allah forbid)! No man is this! This is none other than a noble angel!"

12:31 So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and translate in arabic
فلما سمعت بمكرهن أرسلت إليهن وأعتدت لهن متكأ وآتت كل واحدة منهن سكينا وقالت اخرج عليهن فلما رأينه أكبرنه وقطعن أيديهن وقلن حاش لله ما هذا بشرا إن هذا إلا ملك كريم
سورة: يوسف - آية: ( 31 ) - جزء: ( 12 ) - صفحة: ( 239 )Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
When she heard of their evil intent aggravating her guilt, she invited them to her house and gave them a banquet. The seats were propped up with cushions, the table was set with delightful food and table knives were put in place, one for each. When they were served with the course whereat they use the knives, she ordered him –Yusuf- to come into the room. When the women saw him they were overwhelmed with wonder and they marvelled at his exceptional good looks with profound admiration to the extent that they missed the fruit and wounded their hands. They exclaimed Allah forbid this is not a mortal; he is none other than a highly impressive, stately and distinguished angel
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(12:31) When she heard about their cunning talk, she invited them to a banquet at her house and got ready pillows for the party *26 and placed before each of them a knife. Then, (when they were engaged in cutting fruit) she made a sign to Joseph. as if to say, "Come out before them. " When they caught sight of him, they were so amazed that they cut their hands, and exclaimed spontaneously, "Good God! He is no man; he is a noble angel!"
So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and meaning
*26) The ancient Egyptians used to place pillows and cushions in such feasts for the guests to recline. And this is confirmed by the archaeological remains in Egypt.
There is no mention at all of this banquet in the Bible but it has been described in the Talmud in a way quite different from that of the Qur'an. Needless to say that while this narrative in the Qur'an is natural, life-like and teaches moral lessons, the one in the Talmud lacks all these things.
So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and meaning in Urdu
اس نے جو اُن کی یہ مکارانہ باتیں سنیں تو اُن کو بلاوا بھیج دیا اور ان کے لیے تکیہ دار مجلس آراستہ کی اور ضیافت میں ہر ایک کے آگے ایک چھری رکھ دی (پھر عین اس وقت جبکہ وہ پھل کاٹ کاٹ کر کھا رہی تھیں) اس نے یوسفؑ کو اشارہ کیا کہ ان کے سامنے نکل آ جب ان عورتوں کی نگاہ اس پر پڑی تو وہ دنگ رہ گئیں اور اپنے ہاتھ کاٹ بیٹھیں اور بے ساختہ پکا ر اٹھیں "حاشاللّٰہ، یہ شخص انسان نہیں ہے، یہ تو کوئی بزرگ فرشتہ ہے"
