فَٱسْتَجَابَ fa-is'tajāba So responded
لَهُۥ lahu to him
رَبُّهُۥ rabbuhu his Lord
فَصَرَفَ faṣarafa and turned away
عَنْهُ ʿanhu from him
كَيْدَهُنَّ ۚ kaydahunna their plot
إِنَّهُۥ innahu Indeed, [He]
هُوَ huwa He
ٱلسَّمِيعُ l-samīʿu (is) All-Hearer

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan.

It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 34) {فَاسْتَجَابَ لَهٗ رَبُّهٗ …: } His Lord accepted his prayer and removed from him the deceit and cunning of all those women, so that after this, there was no incident in which any woman tried to entice him. It appears that the beauty of Yusuf was shielded by the awe of prophethood, just as no woman ever dared to make such an invitation to our Prophet (peace be upon him), even though the extent of his beauty and grace cannot even be imagined.

So his Lord accepted Yusuf’s prayer [34] and turned away from him the schemes of the women. Surely, He is the All-Hearing, All-Knowing.

[34] That is, Allah Almighty granted Prophet Yusuf (Joseph) ؑ such determination and steadfastness that no woman's charm could affect him.
