Surah Yusuf ayat 25 Tafsir Quran 12:25

﴿وَاسْتَبَقَا الْبَابَ وَقَدَّتْ قَمِيصَهُ مِن دُبُرٍ وَأَلْفَيَا سَيِّدَهَا لَدَى الْبَابِ ۚ قَالَتْ مَا جَزَاءُ مَنْ أَرَادَ بِأَهْلِكَ سُوءًا إِلَّا أَن يُسْجَنَ أَوْ عَذَابٌ أَلِيمٌ﴾
[ يوسف: 25]

12:25 And they both raced to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back, and they found her husband at the door. She said, "What is the recompense of one who intended evil for your wife but that he be imprisoned or a painful punishment?"

And they raced to the door Joseph making for it in order to escape while she in order to grab hold of him caught hold of his garment and pulled him towards her and she tore his shirt from behind whereupon they encountered her master her husband at the door. She composed herself and then said ‘What is to be the requital of him who intends evil who intends fornication against your folk but that he should be imprisoned locked up in a jail or suffer a painful chastisement?’ by having him beaten.

To escape the threatened evil he ran to the door: as she chased him she could only reach the hack of his garment, and in his struggle to advance forward, the back of his garment was torn. The master was just coming in and they all met at the door. To justify her action and have her revenge, she said to her husband: What punishment should be appropriate for someone who tried to assail your wifes virtue but that he be imprisoned or suffers a condign punishment

( And they raced with one another to the door ) Joseph wanting to leave and her wanting to lock the door. The woman got there first ( and she tore his shirt ) in two ( from behind ) from the waist to his feet, ( and they met her lord and master ) the husband of the woman; and it is said: her cousin ( at the door. She said ) the woman said to her husband: ( What shall be his reward, who wisheth evil ) adultery ( to your folk, save prison or a painful doom ) be severely beaten?

So they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back. They both found her lord (i.e. her husband) at the door. She said: "What is the recompense (punishment) for him who intended an evil design against your wife, except that he be put in prison or a painful torment?"
