Yusuf is imprisoned without Justification

Allah says, `Then it occurred to them that it would be in their interest to imprison Yusuf for a time, even after they were convinced of his innocence and saw the proofs of his truth, honesty and chastity.' It appears, and Allah knows best, that they imprisoned him after the news of what happened spread. They wanted to pretend that Yusuf was the one who tried to seduce the `Aziz's wife and that they punished him with imprisonment. This is why when the Pharaoh asked Yusuf to leave jail a long time afterwards, he refused to leave until his innocence was acertained and the allegation of his betrayal was refuted. When this was successfully achieved, Yusuf left the prison with his honor intact, peace be upon him.

Аллах помог Йусуфу устоять перед страшным искушением и пройти великое испытание, однако молва о происшедшем распространилась по всему городу. Люди разделились на тех, кто оправдывал жену визиря, и тех, кто порицал и обвинял ее, и поэтому хозяева Йусуфа решили, что его следует бросить в темницу. Они знали о его невиновности, но надеялись, что если Йусуф окажется в темнице, то очень скоро люди позабудут о происшедшем. Хорошо известно, что слухи продолжают распространяться до тех пор, пока для этого существует повод. Но стоит этому поводу исчезнуть, как люди забывают о случившемся. Руководствуясь этими соображениями, вельможи решили, что целесообразно заточить Йусуфа в темницу.

So, said at the end of the verse (35) was:

ثُمَّ بَدَا لَهُم مِّن بَعْدِ مَا رَ‌أَوُا الْآيَاتِ لَيَسْجُنُنَّهُ حَتَّىٰ حِينٍ

Later on, even after having seen the signs, they [ the ` Aziz of Misr and his advisers ] deemed it proper [ or expedient ] to imprison him for a time.

Thus, to the prison he was sent.
