Arabic text

162 - وَبِهذَا الإِسناد عَنْ عَلِىِّ بْنِ الحُسَيْن‏عَلَيْهِمَاالسَّلاَمُ أَنَّهُ قالَ: فِي قَوْلَ اللَّه عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: (لَوْ لا أَنْ رَأى بُرْهانَ رَبِّه) قالَ: قامَت اِمْرَأَةُ العَزِيز إِلى الصَّنَم فَأَلقَتَ عَلَيْهِ ثَوباً فَقالَ لَها: يُوسُف ما هذا؟ قالَت: أستَحيِي مِنَ الصَّنَمَ أَن يُرانا فَقالَ لَها يُوسُف: أَتَستَحيينَ مِمَّنْ لا يَسْمَعُ وَلا يُبصِرُ وَلا يَفقَه وَلا يَأْكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ وَلا أستَحيي أَنَا مِمَّنْ خَلَق الإِنْسان وَعَلَّمَه فَذلِك قَوْلَهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: (لَوْ لا أَنْ رَأى بُرْهانَ رَبِّهِ).

Translation

31-162 According to the same documentation, it is narrated that regarding the Honorable the Exalted God’s words, ‘…but that he saw the evidence of his Lord…’ Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.) said, “The wife of the Al-Aziz (king of Egypt) stood up and threw some material over the idol. Joseph (a.s.) asked her why she did that. She said, “I am ashamed of this idol who sees us.” Then Joseph (a.s.) told her, “You are ashamed of this idol which neither hears and sees, nor understands, eats or drinks, but should I not be ashamed of Him who created man and has taught him the following Words of the Honorable the Exalted God, ‘…but that he saw the evidence of his Lord…’”

Translation: Dr. Ali Peiravi — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
