Some exegetes claim that Yusuf (peace be upon him) married the wife of Al-Aziz, basing this on Allah Almighty's saying: "(Joseph) said, 'Appoint me over the storehouses of the earth. Indeed, I am a knowing guardian.'" No authentic hadith has been reported from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) regarding this. Perhaps the exegetes' basis for this is books of historical accounts or Isra'iliyyat, whose truthfulness or falsehood cannot be definitively ascertained.
