Interestingly enough in some of our sources it is said that this is  mentioned in Torah while (as far as I studied) this is not true.<\/div>\n<div>It seems  like the story was developed later mainly in poetry and works of  literature in places like Persia and from there has found its way to  Islamic literature.<\/div>\n<div>Having  said that, I should also say that in all the sources where this story  is narrated, it is also made clear that the wife of Aziz of Egypt was  sorry about her actions and did repent and accepted the religion of  Joseph. In the Qur\u2019\u0101n we also see that there is an element of returning  to the truth by the wife of Aziz (12:51, and note that some scholars  believe that even 12:52 and 12:53 are the words of the wife of Aziz and  not Joseph, which if true then shows that she really reformed herself to  a religious woman).<\/div>\n<div>So  my conclusion is that we do not have any reliable reports about the  story of marriage of Joseph to the wife of Aziz of Egypt and we have a  different report about this in Torah. Therefore most probably the story  is the product of poets and those fond of love fictions. However, in  principle and from moral point of view there is no problem with what the  story suggests  as it clearly says that the wife of Aziz repented and  we know that she tried to seduce Joseph but did not go beyond this. <\/div>\n<p><strong>Answered by:<\/strong> Farhad Shafti<\/p>\n<p><strong>Date:<\/strong> 2015-03-30<\/p>\n<button class=\"simplefavorite-button\" data-postid=\"6876\" data-siteid=\"1\" data-groupid=\"1\" data-favoritecount=\"0\" style=\"\">Favorite <i class=\"sf-icon-star-empty\"><\/i><\/button>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is the  source of the popular story that All\u0101h&#8217;s Messenger Yusuf (sws) had  entered into marriage with the same woman that had tried to seduce him? <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":14147,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[1154],"tags":[2307,1168,1155,2630],"class_list":["post-6876","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-belief-in-prophethood","tag-egypt","tag-marriage","tag-prophet","tag-yusuf"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.5 -
