Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: In the saying of Allah the Exalted in Surat Yusuf[Yusuf 12:24], he asks: Is there evidence in this verse that the soul of a believer intends to commit a sin? And if so, do you have any advice to offer your sons in this time?
Answer:
As for Yusuf (peace be upon him), the verse must be completed:[Yusuf 12:24] meaning, had it not been for the proof, had he not seen the proof of his Lord, he would have inclined toward her. Allah knows best. Had he not seen the proof of his Lord, he would have inclined toward her, but the proof of his Lord that was in his heart, and the prophethood that was with him, prevented him from doing so. My dear one. It prevented him from doing so.
As for the believer, yes, he does intend it. For this reason, the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Yes.

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَا أَن رَّأَىٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِAnswer:

Whoever intends to do a bad deed and does not do it, one good deed is recorded for him. If he does it, one bad deed is recorded against him. Whoever intends to do a good deed and does not do it, one good deed is recorded for him. If he intends it and does it, ten good deeds are recorded for him.
من هم بسيئة فلم يعملها كتبت له حسنة فإن عملها كتبت عليه سيئة واحدة ومن هم بحسنة فلم يعملها كتبت له حسنة فإن هم بها وعملها كتبت له عشر حسنات.
