It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said in the explanation of the Quranic verse regarding those women who had cut their hands: If I had stayed in prison for as long as Prophet Yusuf (peace be upon him) did, and then I was offered release, I would have accepted it at that very moment and would not have sought any excuse.
