وَرَاوَدَتْهُ الَّتٖی هُوَ فٖی بَیْتِهَا عَنْ نَفْسِهٖ وَغَلَّقَتِ الْاَبْوَابَ وَقَالَتْ هَیْتَ لَكَؕ قَالَ مَعَاذَ اللّٰهِ اِنَّهُ رَبّٖٓی اَحْسَنَ مَثْوَایَؕ اِنَّهُ لَا یُفْلِحُ الظَّالِمُونَ

Warawadathu allatee huwa fee baytiha AAan nafsihi waghallaqati alabwaba waqalat hayta laka qala maAAatha Allahi innahu rabbee ahsana mathwaya innahu la yuflihu alththalimoona
