In the name of God, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful
The story of Joseph, peace be upon him, with the wife of Al-Aziz
The news spread in the city
This is the second scene of Joseph's story with Al-Aziz's wife
The events of which take place between Al-Aziz’s wife and the women of the city
And their envy of Joseph, peace be upon him
God Almighty said
Women in Medina said that Al-Aziz’s wife was seducing her boy about himself
She was passionate about love
We see it in clear error
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said
God Almighty says mention him
The women talked about the matter of Joseph and the wife of the dear in the city of Egypt
What happened about them became public, but it was not kept secret
They said, “The wife of Al-Aziz desires her servant, that is, her servant, about himself.”
Al-Saadi, may God have mercy on him, said
This means that the news became famous and widespread in the country
The women talked about it and they started blaming her and saying
A dear woman tells her boy about himself because he has fallen in love with her
That is, this is disgusting
She is a great woman
And her husband is great
Despite this, she continued to worry about himself about her boy, who was under her hand and in her service
However, his love had reached a great extent in her heart
It's common news in the city
It gives us an indication of the nature of society at that time
The nature of women’s councils and the talk that takes place in them
People spread the news until it spread throughout the city
What Al-Aziz had feared happened, as the news spread from Joseph, peace be upon him
So he advised him by saying:
Joseph turned away from this
So Yusuf refrained from discussing the matter
But the news spread and spread among people from a source other than Joseph, peace be upon him
When the news reached the women of the city
They shared it in their gatherings
They criticized the dear woman for this evasiveness
Their criticism of it included several issues
The first one
They denounced such behavior from someone like her and someone like him
The second one
Their explanation for this argument
That it came from her because she was passionate about his love
The third one
They described her as being in clear error with no concealment or resemblance
As for the first matter
It is their disapproval that such behavior would be issued by someone like her and someone like him
People have come to know that great people are great people
And the owners of shrines
They have higher morals than the morals of common people
And they abstain from some permissible actions
Maintaining their symptoms, people do not talk about them
In his story, Raql was with Abu Sufyan before he converted to Islam
Hercules said
Which of you is closer in lineage to this man who claims to be a prophet?
Abu Sufyan said
So I said, “I am.”
So they made me sit in front of him
And my friends sat behind me
Then he called his translator and said:
Tell them
I am asking about this man who claims to be a prophet
If he lies to me, then lie to him
Abu Sufyan said
God bless
If they had not influenced me to lie, I would have lied
What prevented Abu Sufyan from lying?
He is the master of his people
I feared that it would be implied that he had lied one day
This is a lesson for all people of high standing in societies
From scholars, prayers, preachers, imams of mosques, and others
To monitor their actions and behavior with people
And to rise above the morals of common people
This is because they are the true masters of society
Because people's eyes are raised to them
Rather, it takes people away from this great group
Which represents practical role models and religious leadership in all societies
As well as the enemies of Islam and those lurking about it
They are attacking Islam by attacking the actions of this group of society
It is not appropriate for any of the scholars, supplications, or preachers
Or others who represent this religion
Their actions may cause people to turn away from Islam
Or to open the door to challenging scholars, supplications, and others
Especially with regard to the relationship with women in society with their various specialties
Such as dealing with female media professionals and going out with them on video programmes
This opens the door to criticism of supplications and scholars in general
The second issue is their explanation for this prevarication
That it came from her because she was passionate about his love
Ibn Jarir al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said
He says that Joseph's love had reached the depths of her heart
So he entered under him until he conquered her heart
The heart's lining is its veil and cover in which it is located
This is the sixth of the ten levels of love
Which Ibn al-Qayyim, may God have mercy on him, mentioned in his book Madarij al-Salikeen
Where the sixth said passion
He says he is passionate about something, so he is passionate about it
His beloved passion, meaning his love reached the depths of his heart
As the women said about the dear woman
He fell in love with her and there are three sayings about it
One of them is the love that takes over the heart
So that it obscures it from others
Al-Kalbi said: His love obscured her heart so that she could not understand anything other than him
The second is love that reaches inside the heart
The person who said this said:
The meaning is that she loved him until his love entered the depths of her heart, that is, inside it
The third is love that reaches the membrane of the heart
The endocardium is the membrane of the heart
If love reaches him, he enters the heart
Al-Sadi said Al-Shaghaf is a thin skin on the heart
He says love entered him until it hit the heart
Some predecessors read her passion for the neglected eye
The meaning of love is gone by every sect
He reached his highest levels through it, including the passion of mountains for their peaks
This level of love
She is the one the corrupt man seeks to deliver the girl to
With his sweet words and his lying actions
Even if the girl falls into it
She became his prisoner and he could do whatever he wanted with her
She responds to him like a blind man to his leader
If its purpose is fulfilled
He threw it away and moved on to another one
This is a lesson for every girl
Do not let anyone other than her husband enter her heart
She should not give this degree of love to anyone other than her husband
The consequences of this will be dire for her
The third matter
They described her as being in clear error with no concealment or resemblance
Ibn Green Al-Tabari, may God have mercy on him, said
Say, “Let us see the wife of the Mighty One in her evasion of her youth from himself.”
His love overcame her
There is a mistake in the action and an intentional wrongdoing of the path
It is clear to those who contemplate it and know it
It is a misguidance and a mistake that is neither correct nor valid
Al-Taher Ibn Ashour, may God have mercy on him, said
Misguidance here is a violation of the right path
That is, she is captivated by the love of this girl
This is a ruling on her part that she is in clear error
Based on her disgraceful behavior and lack of respect for her status in society
Among the passion that struck her heart was her love for her boy, Joseph, peace be upon him
Thus, society, even if it is corrupt, judges wrongful behavior
Which all rational people realize, even if they fall into it
But was the women’s criticism of the wife of the dear with the intention of advising her?
Or with the intention of denying it
Or is there another purpose behind this statement?
For the rest of the talk
We will continue in an upcoming meeting, God willing
The story of Joseph and the wife of Al-Aziz
