Finally, I was forced to return both Huwi and Sufer to their previous positions after taking over the duties of palace steward.
I can no longer perform my previous duties as table steward and resident reciter.
If you allow me, I will present a report on all the tasks accomplished today.
I appointed you as steward of palace affairs so I wouldn't have to worry about the details of what happens inside the court.
You are not required to submit reports.
I trust you greatly. I hope I am worthy of this trust you mention. You are worthy of it.
If you were not like that, you would not have attained this position.
A person only puts the comb on the top of his head because he wants to untangle the knots in his hair.
Yusuf unties the knots in the palace.
And this is the place of our trust. How strange.
The fact that Zuleikha belongs to a noble lineage prevents her from praising or commending anyone among creation.
Especially since she is admired and respected by everyone.
If Zuleikha admires you.
Then I have no doubt that everyone in the palace admires you as well.
I have no doubt that Yusuf, from the beginning, captured the hearts of all the workers and residents in the palace.
I do not see myself as deserving of all this praise.
And if I have done any work, it is simply because of my job.
If the honorable Potiphar allows me, I will leave his presence to continue my work. You do not need to ask permission to come and go inside the palace.
Of course, you can stay or leave whenever you wish.
Thank you very much.
Did something happen?
Yusuf used to be kind and gentle with me in the past.
But for some time now, he has been turning his gaze away from my face.
I have no doubt that Yusuf turns his gaze away from you out of chastity.
He did not give a child.
And he sees that looking at the faces of beautiful women goes against manners and morals.
I consider this behavior of his a kind of insult.
Perhaps he fears being tempted by the beauty of Zuleikha's beautiful eyes.
If he looks at them.
You take everything as a joke. I am not joking at all.
We must have taqwa regarding the glances of beautiful women.
The interaction between Zuleikha and Yusuf was remarkable.
Anything you see happening does not escape my notice.
The night is approaching and I am very tired.
I want to go to sleep. No one should come in to me. Go to sleep, my lady, and I will stay here.
I don't need you. You go too.
O Allah, I seek refuge for myself and my body with You.
O Allah, do not leave me to the worst of Your creation, protect me from the schemes of the corrupt, and shelter me in Your protection.
O Allah, if I have been guided to do or say something good.
That is because You have made her heart love it.
These people to me.
I ask You, O Allah, not to leave me to myself for even the blink of an eye, ever.
O Allah, I seek refuge in You.
From being caught in the traps of the schemes of this immorality.
Without You being my supporter and helper.
You fool.
What do you want from me? Why don't you leave me alone? I beg your pardon, my lady, forgive me, I was forced to do this.
Did you see? Didn't I tell you he doesn't care about our gods and rituals? Didn't I tell you he is a disbeliever?
We must summon the high priest, the honorable Akhmaho, Potiphar, here so he can see him for who he really is.
If you dare utter a single word about Yousersif's beliefs in front of people and put his life in danger, I will kill you with my own hands.
I want Yousersif alive, and I have nothing to do with his religion or beliefs. Do you understand?
But my lady, I fear his cleverness for you.
He will take away your faith in the gods of Egypt. You have nothing to do with these matters at all. You must obey me.
Do not forget that you are my companion. But if you wish to act as you please, I will know how to deal with you.
Understood, understood.
I have neither seen nor heard anything from Yusuf at all, my lady. Be completely assured.
I am your secret among your women.
Will you allow this foolish woman to suggest it?
Why don't you do like Yusuf, and turn to the gods of the temple?
Why don't you go to the great Amun and ask him to fulfill your need?
Long live my great lady. What brings you here at night?
I came for worship.
O our great mother.
I will shower you with many vows and gifts if you help me to win over Yusuf.
I have no deity but you, help me.
I love him very much. He belongs to me.
I paid the price for this, I mean, so that this boy would obey my orders.
Amun. What happened, my lady?
At this time, Amun is fast asleep.
We should not disturb him at this late hour of the night.
I promise you, if you pray for me so that my need is fulfilled, I will be generous to you and to the god Amun.
My lady, you could have come in the morning to ask for what you need.
I will take this idol with me as an amana. I want to confide in it and pray to it tonight.
I do not know why Amun does not help me.
Aren't you one of the gods of his temple? My lady, if it weren't for the help of the god Amun, you wouldn't be enjoying all this honor, respect, and glory.
It is Amun who honored you above the women of Egypt and gave you authority and leadership over everyone in the palace. Don't speak nonsense. What honor and what authority?
Amun has made me insignificant in the eyes of a servant I bought with my own money, and he even finds it too much to look at my face, as if I were a worn-out rag.
I give up authority over the palace and Medina. I only ask that this boy obeys me.
The Hebrew. How strange.
Why do you show all this weakness from yourself?
You are the lady of this palace and you own Yusuf the servant.
Masters have the right to deal with their servants as they wish and want. Why don't you use your power instead of begging him for love and affection?
You are right.
So I do not care to be loved by some of my servants.
I only want him himself, and he is without a doubt owned by my right hand.
And he did not dare to disobey any of my commands.
O great Amun.
Is it through you that I will obtain this Hebrew boy?
So if you are generous to me and grant me access to Yousersif, I will be generous to your temple with many gifts and abundant wealth.
Decorate this room in the best way possible, and let me know when you are finished.
Si tenez.
Does your son's voice bother you, Thien?
No, I was passing by and I heard the sound of Kisin crying.
What's wrong with him? Why is he sobbing? I don't know. I just fed him and changed his clothes, but still.
He doesn't stop crying.
How strange, a few days ago the palace steward, Yuzartif, passed by us, and he wiped his head and he calmed down.
The gentle touch of Yusuf calms anyone's fear. What is my lady doing here in the middle of the night?
Perhaps sleep has abandoned me too, just like Kisin.
Yusuf must come to me, and when he enters.
Close all seven doors.
And send out Tama, Tiyamin, and all the male and female servants from you.
Lady Zuleikha is asking for your presence.
You go now, and I will follow you.
Then I will wait for your arrival at the passage of the seven doors.
My Lord.
Do not leave me alone.
I have no helper but You. Stop, my son, calm down.
Come on, calm down, my dear. No.
What happened to Sittini? Why is Kisin sobbing? He never stops crying. Maybe he wants you to comfort him with your hand.
Why didn't he stop?
Perhaps his restlessness was due to a hidden reason. Maybe his sensitive soul sensed some harm lying in wait for us.
And will some harm befall us?
Is that why your son Sin will not stop crying?
This room that I showed you is reserved only for the most distinguished of Zuleikha and Potiphar's guests.
And to reach this room, you must pass through these seven doors that we are passing through, and the keys to the locks are kept only by Zuleikha.
The orders of Lady Zuleikha.
Long live Lady Zuleikha.
You know that you are one of my slaves. It is as you say.
And you know that slaves must always submit to the orders of their masters.
Have I ever disobeyed any of your orders?
You must obey me today as well.
Command me, and I am at your service.
I have prepared myself for you, O Zarsi.
I seek refuge with Allah, my Lord.
What do you want from me, woman?
Betrayal.
I told you that I would be at your service, but I will never obey you when it comes to betrayal.
So, what is it that you want from me? I want you to give yourself to me.
Your husband has treated me well for years and raised me to a high position.
And now you are asking me to betray him? I have never withheld love and kindness from you either. I am grateful to you and to the honorable Potiphar, but do you want me to repay your kindness with disobedience?
And betrayal, you owe me, and you must repay my kindness to you.
And as one of my slaves, you must obey me. If you both have been good to me.
So by the grace of Allah, I see myself as indebted to Him, the Exalted, before you and more than you. I have saved myself from the humiliation of the mighty to the depths of disgrace in order to attain you.
And I will not stop until I achieve my goal. My name is written among the Prophets in the heavens, and by Allah, I would never be written among the sinners and adulterers on earth.
No one among the people will know this secret except you and me. But how could we hide it from Allah, who is present and watching us? Do you fear the anger of the God of gods?
I am also ashamed before you, but this is a small matter.
I cannot bear your harsh looks, forgive me, O great Amun.
He no longer sees the sin we are about to commit. But I fear my Lord and my God, the All-Hearing, the All-Seeing.
Fear of that metal statue is a sign of foolishness and stupidity. Are you calling me foolish and stupid?
I could crush hundreds like you under my feet.
You are not even worthy to clean my horses' hooves, and you say that obeying the orders of the great Amun is foolishness?
I give the orders and you are obliged to obey me, otherwise I will point my finger and you will be buried.
Buried where you stand.
I will obey you and follow all your orders on the condition that I do not.
There must not be any disobedience to Allah, the One, nothing else.
You must be disciplined so that you return to your senses.
Severe punishment is likely to awaken from heedlessness those who are captive to their forbidden desires.
O Prophet of Allah, this is a revelation sent down from Allah, the One. I will never leave you alone.
Beware of trying to strike or discipline Zuleikha.
She will slander you and speak lies, saying that Yusuf wanted to force me into sin.
When he saw me turning away, save yourself from the traps of Satan.
And run towards the door. O Prophet of Allah, this is revelation sent down from Allah, the One.
O Prophet of Allah, this is revelation sent down from Allah, the One.
There is no escape before you, you are obliged to obey my commands.
It seems to me that things are happening here, and I would like to know their explanation.
I hear.
Let one of you say something. Woe to us, this is what we have brought upon ourselves by being kind to him.
Do you see how he is trying to seduce your wife?
What is the punishment for someone who intends evil for your family and tries to seduce your wife, except prison or severe torment.
Zuleikha is the one who invited me and tried to seduce me. I saw him enter the lady's chamber and try to seduce her.
O noble one, I know you will reject every proof I bring you of my innocence. You will side with your wife against your will.
To save face in front of the people, and no one dares to testify against Lady Zuleikha.
Out of fear that they might be touched by the sparks of her anger.
His soul becomes distressed and he is forgotten, do not anger me any further.
I am searching for the evidence and the witness so I can know which of you is guilty.
I have no evidence to present for my innocence from the sin, and I have no regret for you to falsely testify in my favor. So you are guilty.
And you must be punished. You judged me as a traitor without evidence, but the truth does not count what you said.
She is the one who called me to her room and tried to seduce me, and I have no witness except Allah, my Lord.
You entered upon Zuleikha in her private chambers.
She never testified to that.
Everyone knows that Lady Zuleikha is the guilty one, but no one dares to say it openly. Call your witness to come here and testify for you.
Allah, my Lord, sees my situation at every moment.
And He knows that I am being falsely accused, and what a great trial it is if He leaves me alone. I don't think you will believe me.
Let this servant speak.
If you are unable to provide evidence of your innocence.
I will not hesitate to take your life immediately.
O noble one, I saw Yusuf passing through the palace corridor, then playing a little with Kisin, the boy whose crying you now hear.
After that, he entered the corridor of the seven doors and closed them.
I. I was in my room, resting, then I turned.
I saw him standing over my head, so I screamed at the top of my voice.
Then he ran away.
User Saif should punish her here. But.
Leave me.
I have someone who will testify. Where is he? Who is the witness? Summon him to be present immediately. Certainly.
I will call a witness who does not know me, so he will not support me, and does not know Lady Zuleikha, so he will not be her enemy.
And he will not be able to understand for whose benefit he is testifying or against whom the claim is.
Also, he is a relative of Lady Zuleikha, and his testimony is supposed to be in her favor.
Tell me who he is. Summon him immediately to be present before I take retribution from you. My witness is this child whose crying you hear now.
Are you trying to mock me? I ask you by the kindness you have shown me to send for the boy to be brought here so he can testify.
How can the infant testify in your favor?
This is impossible, but that's fine.
Bring him to us.
Long live Ali at the position of Potiphar.
This is my cousin Setni, and this is her child.
Tell them to testify.
Yasin, testify to the truth.
Say what Allah, the One, has taught you. Go ahead.
Yasin, testify to the truth.
I obey the command of Allah, the One, and I repeat.
His words: If his shirt is torn from the front, then she has told the truth and he is one of the liars.
But if his shirt is torn from the back, then she has lied and he is one of the truthful.
How did you speak, O dear one, mother of yours?
You wanted to deceive me with your tears and your excessive crying.
Truly, your plotting, O women, is indeed great and significant.
I apologize to you for the accusation I made against you.
Forgive me and my wife Zuleikha.
Do not bring up this matter against us as long as I live.
None of you has the right to tell others about what you heard.
And if you dare to broadcast what happened here.
The punishment will be severe. Go.
What is the matter? What happened, my lady?
An infant.
Kikisan, the son of Sitini.
He spoke and exposed me in front of everyone.
And how could an infant speak?
But he did. But, but how did he speak?
I also do not know. Yusuf asked him to speak, and then he spoke.
And even stranger than that, the infant spoke obeying the command of Allah, the One.
This is pure magic. If what you are saying is true.
Then it is nothing but magic. Yusuf did not only enchant the people in the palace, but he also enchanted the infants.
No one would have dared to testify against me, except for the infant.
This is the work of magicians. They practice magic and should be punished for. That's enough, Kali Mama.
Weren't these doors locked? How did he manage to escape?
This is unbelievable. The doors opened for him even though he didn't touch them.
By themselves? I told you he practices magic. He is not a magician. I raised him myself since he was a child.
And I know he has never met a magician in his life. What about the door? And that infant?
I wonder who Yusuf is?
Satan.
What do you command me, O one of high status?
How was he able to speak?
I still do not believe it.
What are you doing here? Why did you come to the palace? I came from Memphis to meet Lady Zuleikha.
I did not know this would happen, otherwise I would not have come. You came to meet Zuleikha, your cousin.
There is no harm in that. I thank you and your son very much.
If it weren't for your presence, I would have fallen for Zuleikha's deception, and I would have stained my hands with the shedding of this young man's pure blood.
I also don't know how you were able to speak.
I wish you had seen Zuleikha's condition.
A six-month-old child who spoke. I heard him speak myself.
What will we do if the news spreads everywhere?
It is said that she had been pursuing him for some time.
I was in the palace and saw with my own eyes how deeply upset she became.
She left the party when I asked her about her young man, Yusuf.
Her love for her young man is on everyone's lips. Ah, she never cared for any man because of her arrogance and pride.
Yet here she is, kneeling before one of her slaves.
The wife of Amun, the greatest god of Egypt and the goddess of his temple, has surrendered herself to one of her slaves.
And he is a foreign slave whose job was to tend the camels. This is a great disgrace.
We must inform the high priest, the Ikhmah, about what happened.
Zuleikha and Potiphar will not be safe from the consequences of this terrible crime. Yes, the honor of Zuleikha and Potiphar and their status depend on the outcome of what happened.
Didn't I order you to leave me alone? Leave the place!
