One day, the lady of the house (who had gradually been fallen in love with Joseph) tried to seduce him. She locked the doors and said: "I am all yours." Joseph replied: “I seek refuge in Lord; the One who has raised me in such a nice home. The Lord never let the unjust people (such as a person who has been treated nicely in a house and then develop a sinful relationship with the land lord’s wife) to succeed.”
And she, in whose house he was, sought to seduce him (to do an evil act), and she closed the doors and said: "Come on, O you." He said: "I seek refuge in Allâh (or Allâh forbid)!

And the lady, in whose house he lived, tried to seduce him. She locked the doors ˹firmly˺ and said, "Come to me!" He replied, “Allah is my refuge! It is ˹not right to betray˺ my master, who has taken good care of me. Indeed, the wrongdoers never succeed.”
