The Confession of the Women:
Now the situation had become such that the king himself began to take personal interest in the matter of Sayyiduna Yusuf ؑ. He immediately summoned all the women who had participated in that cushioned banquet and demanded their testimony. The king’s statement before the testimony, “When you tried to seduce Yusuf,” shows that the king was indeed aware of this incident. However, contrary to the opinion of the dignitaries of the state, he had not given much importance to investigating this matter. These women also now fully understood the delicacy of the situation, realizing that there was no choice but to speak the truth. Thus, they clearly confessed that Yusuf was completely innocent; he had not even looked at any of them with an evil eye. After the testimony of the women, there remained no room for any trickery or falsehood on the part of Zulaikha, and she openly confessed before everyone that she was the real culprit. She admitted that she had tried to entice him, and Yusuf ؑ was completely innocent and truthful.
