Sa’id Bin Jobeir and Zohâq state that the witness to the chastity of the veracious one was a sucking-babe and the son of Zuleikha’s aunt. A’krama and Qotâda say that he was a wise and upright man, who had by his great acuteness guided the A’ziz out of the valley of confusion and had led him into the straight path. Mujâhad says that he was a courtier and confidant of the family of the A’ziz, who was at that time sitting with him at the door of the palace. Asdi states that he was the son of Zuleikha’s uncle, and well known among the people as a very virtuous person. Others assert that the witness to Yusuf’s chastity was the brother of the A’ziz, who was the general accountant and calculator; whilst some allege that this witness was not of the human, but of the angelic race. The opinion of two other parties is, that he was a miraculous individual created by the Almighty for the above purpose, and that he was nevermore seen again after bearing his testimony to the chastity of Yusuf. Others again imagine that the fact itself [of the garment torn in the rear] was a sufficient evidence; and it is known to intelligent readers as being alluded to also in the glorious book, where Allah says: ‘A witness of her own family bore testimony,’ etc.* The opinions, however, enounced by theologians, and mentioned by some historians, have been recorded here. Allah knows the true state of the case best.
