Surah 12. Yusuf, Ayah 29
| يُوسُفُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَٰذَا ۚ وَاسْتَغْفِرِي لِذَنْبِكِ ۖ إِنَّكِ كُنْتِ مِنَ الْخَاطِئِينَ |
| Transliteration | : | yosuf acrid. can haadhaa wa- istaghfire li- dhanb -ki 'inna -ki kunti min al- khaat.i'en |
| Pickthall | : | O Joseph! Turn away from this, and thou, (O woman), ask forgiveness for thy sin. Lo! thou art of the sinful. |
| Asad | : | [But,] Joseph, let this pass!26 And thou, [O wife,] ask forgiveness for thy sin - for, verily, thou hast been greatly at fault!" |
| Malik | : | O Yusuf, say no more about this, and you (O my wife) seek forgiveness for your sins, for you were indeed the wrongdoer." |
| Yusuf Ali | : | "O Joseph pass this over! (O wife) ask forgiveness for thy sin for truly thou hast been at fault!" 1676 |
Note - 26Lit., "turn aside from this". According to almost all the
commentators, the meaning is, "do not mention this to
anyone", the implication being that the husband was
prepared to forgive and forget.

Note - 1676As was only fair, he apologised to Joseph and begged him
to give no further thought to the injury that had been
done to him, first by the love-snare of his wife,
secondly, by the utterly false charge made against him,
and thirdly, by the scene, which must have been painful
to a man of such spotless character as Joseph. That was
not enough. He must ask his wife humbly to beg Joseph's
pardon for the wrong that she had done him. And he must
further ask her to consider her unbecoming conduct in
itself, apart from any wrong done to Joseph.
