مکر و حیلة زنان

در این آیه به مکر زنان -البته زنانی همچون همسر عزیز که بی‌بند و بار و هوسران‌اند - اشاره شده و برای آن صفت عظیم آمده است. در تاریخ و همچنین در داستان‌ها که سایه‌ای از تاریخ است» مطالب زیادی در این زمینه نقل شده که مطالعة مجموع آنها نشان می‌دهد زنان هوسران برای رسیدن به مقصود خودء نقشه‌هایی می‌کشند که در نوع خود بی‌نظیر است. در ماجرای یوسف(ع) هم می‌خوانیم که زن عزیز مصر چگونه یوسف را به ناپاکی متهم کرده» خود را پاکدامن معرفی کرد؛ یا مجلسی برای زنان مصر تشکیل داد و عمل زشت خود را توجیه کرد.
