-
And a few women in the city
talked: "[look at] Wife of Aziz, she seduces her servant
seeking to elicit him
fulfilling her desire;
-
Indeed he has reached
her pericardium,
piercing desire for nearness-love has impassioned her.
-
Indeed we find her certainly
in a state of manifest forgetfulness/mindlessness". [12:30]
-
Thereat,
when she heard about their bickering she sent invitation to them;
-
And prepared for them
cushioned seating/repast-food requiring leaning to cut it with knife,
and she gave to each one of them individually a fruit knife.
-
And she asked him, "you come
before them."
-
Thereat, when those
women had seen him they did extol him. And they pricked their hands;
-
And said,
"Absolute exaltation is for Allah. This is
not a man. This is not but a superb angel"
[12:31]
 
-
She said, "Then that is the phenomenon
about which you objurgated me saying his
attraction has pierced into my heart;
-
And yes, I seduced him to elicit him meet my desire. Thereat, he
remained firm to his resolve [and ran away
to the exit door].
-
But if he
performs not that which I am commanding him, he will certainly be imprisoned and he will
become one of the degraded". [12:32]
 
 
 
-
He prayed: "My Sustainer
Lord! imprisonment is more suited and dearer to me than going towards what they
are inviting, inciting me.
-
Should You the
Exalted not avert their
scheme-trick compelling me to incline towards them: I would have surge of
passion overwhelmed towards them; and would become one of those who are carried away by emotions.
[12:33]
-
Acceding to his prayer His
Sustainer Lord responded, thereby He the Exalted revolved their
scheme-seducing tricks away from him.
-
The fact
remains that He the Exalted is eternally
the All-Listening, the All-Knowing.
[12:34]
-
Afterwards, the
cause became
apparent/understood for them after having observed/analyzed evidential
hints, they decided they must take him into
protective custody-imprison him for a while. [12:35]
-
[He was accordingly sent to
prison] And two young men
entered along with him in the prison.
-
One of those two said,
"Indeed I see myself in the dream that I am extracting wine/alcoholics."
-
And the second one said,
"Indeed I see myself in the dream that I am carrying over my head bread
out of which the birds are eating."
-
You tell us the
outcome/eventuality of this dream.
-
We see you one
of
proportionately balanced generous men." [12:36]
 
 
-
He replied, "The
food/meal which is served to you both will not reach you but I would
have meanwhile told/construed you the effect/end result/meanings of that
dream before the meal might reach you.
-
This construing of
dreams is with the
knowledge my Sustainer Lord has imparted to me;
-
I have indeed
abandoned the method of
people who believe not in Allah
the Exalted;
-
And they are in fact
the people who reject the Hereafter. [12:37]
-
Instead I have
diligently followed the method of my fathers,
Iebra'heim, and
Ies'hauq,
and
Ya'qoob.
[عليهم
السلام].
-
It has never been befitting
for us that we might associate with Allah
the Exalted anything.
-
This is a blessing by the grace of Allah
the Exalted upon us and upon the people.
-
But fact
remains that most of the people do not
appreciate-recognize-express gratitude. [12:38]
This is the straightly
settled/permanent/perpetuated way/discipline/rule/operative system.
 
 
-
O you my
two companions of the
prison, reflect:
-
"Are diverse lords-godheads better to believe in; or
Allah the Exalted Who is the Solitary Lord, Absolutely Dominant for
ever? [12:39]
-
Other than Him you people
worship/owe allegiance are nothing but merely feminine names which you
people and your forefathers have coined/innovated,
-
for which Allah has sent no
affirmation/authority for it.
-
The authority for decision and commanding the matters is
exclusive for Allah the Exalted.
-
He has commanded that you people should be
subject/subservient/allegiant to none but exclusively and absolutely
to Him the Exalted.
-
This is the straightly
settled, permanent discipline, rule, operative system.
-
Despite unambiguous pronouncements
the fact is that most of
the people intend not to understand it." [12:40]
 
-
O you both my companions of the prison! one of you
after safe release will be serving
wine-alcoholic drinks to his Master-King;
-
And the other
[on being convicted/awarded capital punishment]
will be crucified,
whereat the birds will eat a part of his head.
-
The matter about which you both inquire
has since been decreed." [12:41]
 
-
And he said to the one
of them about whom he construed that he will be safely released,
"You mention about me before your Master-King"
-
Thereby, after release Shai'taan/Satan made him forget to mention to his Master-King
whereby
he remained in the prison for several years. [12:42]
