Commentary

And when the meaning was: So he looked, he based his saying on it: ﴿So when he saw﴾ meaning her master ﴿his shirt﴾ meaning Yusuf, blessings and peace be upon him ﴿torn from the back, he said﴾ to her, and he had decisively established the truth of his words and her falsehood, emphasizing for the sake of her denial ﴿Indeed, this﴾ meaning this accusation against him ﴿is from your plotting﴾ O assembly of women; and plotting is: a person's seeking what he dislikes. ﴿Indeed, your plotting is great﴾ and the great is: what diminishes the measure of something else from it in a tangible or meaningful way. He found it great because it is more subtle than the plotting of a man, and gentler and more hidden, because the devil, glorified and exalted is He, is more capable of their shortcomings. And their plotting, which is from the plotting of the devil, is weaker than weak in comparison to what Allah, the Exalted and Majestic, plans to nullify it.
