وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهٖࣗ وَهَمَّ بِهَاۚ لَوْلَٓا اَنْ رَاٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهٖؕ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّٓوءَ وَالْفَحْشَٓاءَؕ اِنَّهُ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصٖینَ

Walaqad hammat bihi wahamma biha lawla an raa burhana rabbihi kathalika linasrifa AAanhu alssooa waalfahshaa innahu min AAibadina almukhlaseena

And she certainly determined [to seduce] him, and he would have inclined to her had he not seen the proof of his Lord. And thus [it was] that We should avert from him evil and immorality. Indeed, he was of Our chosen servants

She verily desired him, and he would have desired her if it had not been that he saw the argument of his Lord. Thus it was, that We might ward off from him evil and lewdness. Lo! he was of Our chosen slaves
