The Koran (Al-Qur'an) CHAPTER XI. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD. / CHAPTER XII. / IN THE NAME OF THE MOST MERCIFUL GOD.; lines 20308-20401 confidence: high
The woman in whose house Joseph lives shuts the doors and calls him; Joseph refuses, and the text says God turns away evil after Joseph sees a demonstration of his Lord.
Joseph refuses the woman's sexual invitation, sees a demonstration of his Lord, and later prays for prison rather than the crime; the Lord turns away the snare.
