Verily, He is All-Seer of what you do.

(272) And to Allah belongs the Ghaib (Unseen) of the heavens and the earth, and to Him return all affairs (for decision). So worship Him (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه و سلم) and put your trust in Him. And your Lord is not unaware of what you (people) do.

(273) And there came a caravan of travellers and they sent their water-drawer, and he let down his bucket (into the well). He said: "what good news! Here is a boy." So they hid him as merchandise (a slave). And Allah was the All-Knower of what they did.

(274) So they raced with one another to the door, and she tore his shirt from the back. They both found her lord (i.e. her husband) at the door.

(276) "Then will come after that, seven hard (years), which will devour what you have laid by in advance for them, (all) except a little of that which you have guarded (stored).

(277) And the king said: "Bring him to me." But when the messenger came to him, [Yusuf (Joseph)] said: "Return to your lord and ask him, 'what happened to the women who cut their hands? Surely, my Lord (Allah) is Well-Aware of their plot.'"

(278) (The King) said (to the women): "what was your affair when you did seek to seduce Yusuf (Joseph)?" The women said: "Allah forbid! No evil know we against him!"

This quantity is easy (for the king to give)."
