Surah Yusuf (Joseph), Verse 24

وَلَقَدْ هَمَّتْ بِهٖ وَهَمَّ بِهَا لَوْلَاۤ اَنْ رَّاٰ بُرْهَانَ رَبِّهٖ كَذٰلِكَ لِنَصْرِفَ عَنْهُ السُّوْٓءَ وَالْفَحْشَآءَ اِنَّهٗ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا الْمُخْلَصِیْنَ ۟

Wa laqad hammat bihee wa hamma bihaa law laaa ar ra-aa burhaana rabbih; kazaalika linasrifa 'anhu sooo'a walfahshaaa'; innahoo min 'ibaadi nal mukhlaseen

And (with passion) did she desire him, and he would have desired her, but that he saw the evidence of his Lord: thus (did We order) that We might turn away from him (all) evil and shameful deeds: for he was one of Our servants, sincere and purified.
