Sura 12 Yusuf (Joseph), ayah 31

  1. فَلَمَّا سَمِعَتْ بِمَكْرِهِنَّ أَرْسَلَتْ إِلَيْهِنَّ وَأَعْتَدَتْ لَهُنَّ مُتَّكَأً وَآتَتْ كُلَّ وَاحِدَةٍ مِنْهُنَّ سِكِّينًا وَقَالَتِ اخْرُجْ عَلَيْهِنَّ ۖ فَلَمَّا رَأَيْنَهُ أَكْبَرْنَهُ وَقَطَّعْنَ أَيْدِيَهُنَّ وَقُلْنَ حَاشَ لِلَّهِ مَا هَٰذَا بَشَرًا إِنْ هَٰذَا إِلَّا مَلَكٌ كَرِيمٌ

    أَرْسَلَتْ
    she sent
    إِلَيْهِنَّ
    for them
    وَأَعْتَدَتْ
    and she prepared
    لَهُنَّ
    for them
    مُتَّكَـًٔا
    a banquet
    وَءَاتَتْ
    and she gave
    كُلَّ
    each
    وَٰحِدَةٍ
    one
    مِّنْهُنَّ
    of them
    سِكِّينًا
    a knife
    وَقَالَتِ
    and she said,
    ٱخْرُجْ
    "Come out
    عَلَيْهِنَّ
    before them."
    فَلَمَّا
    Then when
    رَأَيْنَهُۥٓ
    they saw him
    أَكْبَرْنَهُۥ
    they greatly admired him,
    وَقَطَّعْنَ
    and cut
    أَيْدِيَهُنَّ
    their hands,
    وَقُلْنَ
    they said,
    حَٰشَ
    "Forbid
    لِلَّهِ
    Allah,
    مَا
    not
    هَٰذَا
    (is) this
    بَشَرًا
    a man
    إِنْ
    not
    هَٰذَآ
    (is) this
    إِلَّا

    مَلَكٌ
    an angel
    كَرِيمٌ
    noble."

    So when she heard of their scheming, she sent for them and prepared for them a banquet and gave each one of them a knife and said (to Joseph), "Come out before them." And when they saw him, they greatly admired him and cut their hands and said, "Perfect is Allah! This is not a man; this is none but a noble angel."
