Tafsir of "Ibn Kathir" (English)

قَالَHe (Yusuf) said, (in truth and honesty),هِيَ رَاوَدَتْنِي عَن نَّفْسِيIt was she that sought to seduce me,and mentioned that she pursued him and pulled him towards her until she tore his shirt.وَشَهِدَ شَاهِدٌ مِّنْ أَهْلِهَا إِن كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن قُبُلٍAnd a witness of her household bore witness (saying):"If it be that his shirt is torn from the front...",not from the back,فَصَدَقَتْthen her tale is true,that he tried to commit an illegal sexual act with her.Had he called her to have sex with him and she refused, she would have pushed him away from her and tore his shirt from the front,وَهُوَ مِنَ الكَاذِبِينَand he is a liar! وَإِنْ كَانَ قَمِيصُهُ قُدَّ مِن دُبُرٍ فَكَذَبَتْ وَهُوَ مِن الصَّادِقِينَ
