And Allah is Dominating in His affair but the majority of mankind does not know.
The Egyptian indicated his desire to his wife to adopt Yusuf (PBH) as their son but his wife later attempted to involve him in a shameful act. This may be one of the reasons of the warning “……and He has not made, those whom you adopt as sons, your (real) sons…… call them by their father’s name………. “33: 4 – 5. Again the shirt torn from behind is produced as circumstantial evidence to prove the innocence of Yusuf (PBH).

And they raced towards the door and she tore his shirt from behind and they found her husband near the door, she said, “”What is the reward of one who intends (to do something) evil with your wife, except that he should be imprisoned or (given) a painful punishment?””

He said, “”She sought (to make) me yield (for an evil act and thus attempted to cause me to slip) from myself.”” And a witness from her people bore witness, “”If his shirt is torn from the front then she speaks the truth and he is of the liars,

And the women in the city said, “”The Aziz’s wife seeks her slave to yield to her (for an evil act, his) love has affected her heart deeply, we certainly see her in manifest error.”
There was gossip in the society about this incident. The Egyptian’s wife tried to justify her action by proving that Yusuf (PBH) was very handsome

So when she heard of their plot (to defame her) she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave to everyone of them a knife and said (to Yusuf), “”Come out before them.”” So when they saw him they regarded him great and (in their amazement) cut their hands and said, “”Glory be to Allah above all! this is not a human being, he is none other than an honored angel.””

She said, “”That is the person with respect to whom you blamed me and I did seek to make him yield himself to me but he abstained, and if he does not do what I command him to do, he will definitely be imprisoned and he will be of those who are degraded.””

He said, “”My Fosterer! the prison is dearer to me than that to which they invite me and if You do not turn away their plot from me, I may incline towards them and become one of the ignorant.””
Yousuf (PBH) preferred the prison to the sinful act he was invited to.

Before interpreting the dreams, Yusuf (PBH) propagated Islam speaking against polytheism. This he probably did because the minds of the two prisoners must be concentrating fully on whatever he said, anticipating the interpretation of their dreams.

He said, “”The food which you are provided with would not (even) come to you but I will inform you both about its interpretation before it (actually) come to you, that is (something) of what my Fosterer has taught me, I have forsaken the religious dictates of people who do not believe in Allah and do not believe in the hereafter.
