The scholars differed on the "hems" (intention/inclination) of Yusuf mentioned in the verse, offering several interpretations:
- That he "hemmed" concerning her with a psychological inclination, a natural human instinct, but his piety and chastity prevented him from following his desires. - That he "hemmed" to push her away from himself, then preferred to flee. - That no "hems" occurred from him at all due to the presence of the proof, and this view was favored by Imam Abu Hayyan and Sheikh Al-Shinqiti.
