Question:
Your Eminence! He is inquiring about the noble verse as well, saying: Allah (Blessed and Exalted is He) says in His noble Book in Surat Yusuf: [Yusuf:24]. He asks: What is the proof that Yusuf (peace be upon him) saw from his Lord?
Answer:
Yusuf (peace be upon him) desired her, and she desired him after the solicitation, but Allah protected him and guarded him from it, and he was saved. There is no clear text regarding what this proof was; it is something that Allah showed him, which caused him to refrain from this matter and not proceed with it, and Allah protected him from it. This is because he was among the sincere servants of Allah, whom Allah purified for His worship, obedience, and prophethood (peace be upon him). Some of the Salaf said that he saw the voices of Ya'qub before him, and others said something else.
The point is that there is no explanation of this proof from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the sayings of the Children of Israel are not to be relied upon. It is a proof that Allah showed him, which necessitated his restraint and caution. This is because Allah made him among His sincere servants, whom He purifies from such matters. Therefore, He, the Exalted, said: [Yusuf:24], meaning: purified from these indecencies. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants.
وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلا أَنْ رَأَى بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهِ كَذَلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوءَ وَالْفَحْشَاءَ إِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِينَAnswer:
