I am muslim & i have read the story of Yusuf (as) (aka Joseph) so many times & every time i read it, i smile because Yusuf (as) was blessed with many gifts & the one gift that caused many problems for him was physical beauty. He was so handsome that no man on earth was as good-looking as him, yet he never used his goodlooks to commit any evil.
But when she heard of their malicious talk, she sent for them and made a sumptuous meal and then she gave a knife to each of them. She said [to Yusuf], "Go out to them." When they saw him, they were amazed by him and cut their hands. They said, "Allah preserve us! This is no man. What can this be but a noble angel here!" (Surah Yusuf: 31)
She said, "You see! It's him you blamed me for. I tried seducing him but he refused. If he does not do what I order him, he will be put in prison and brought low." (Surah Yusuf: 32)
