They became more intimate every day until a spell of passion came and separated them. When the shadow of passion fell upon the soul of Yusuf, Zuleikha happened to think of covering the face of the idol, which was in her room. This astonished Yusuf and made him ask her, "What doest thou?" She said, "I cover the face of my god that seeth us with his eyes full of wrath." This startled Yusuf. He saw the vision of his father pointing his finger towards heaven. Yusuf said, "Stay, O Zuleikha, of what hast thou put me in mind! The eyes of thy god can be covered with a piece of cloth, but the eyes of my God cannot be covered. He seeth me wherever I am."
