It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said regarding the statement of Allah Almighty: { فَاسْأَلْہُمَابَالُالنِّسْوَۃِاللّٰاتِیقَطَّعْنَأَیْدِیَہُنَّ} "If I had been in the place of Yusuf (peace be upon him), I would have accepted the messenger's word very quickly and I would not have sought any excuse."
