Commentary
Shagafa – {smote her to the heart (with love)}, it is
a past tense from the word shagaf, which means “to enter in the
bottom of the heart, and save own, let all thoughts to empty the heart”. Shagafa-haa –
(he has smitten her to the heart), hubban – (by the path of
love). Shagaf means “to fall in someone’s love. The person who
is charmed in love of someone else is called mashguuf.
Mak-rin – (secret plan), to show something else;
separate from that which is in the heart. Those women were desirous to see
Joseph (peace be upon him) that how much beautiful would he be? Apparently they
reproached that “A woman of so much higher class fell in love of a slave”.
Slave is considered always as of the lowest grade.
The women of the city
caught the sound of the story in respect of the Wife of Aziz (a
ruler of) Egypt. They said one to another “It seems not good that a woman
from highest class begin to be pleased on a slave. At last they all expressed
their opinion that she has been mad. When wife of the ruler heard, she invited
all of them and prepared for them a cushioned couch decorated with large
pillows, which support the back of the persons when sitting down, so that
Joseph (peace be upon him) may be viewed by them after sitting comfortably.
