Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 4-1300b
"عَنْ عَلِيَّ فِى قَوْلهِ: "وَلَقدْ هَمَّتْ بِهِ" قالَ: طَمِعَتْ فِيهِ فَقَامَتْ إِلَى صَنَمٍ مُكلَلٍ بالدُّرِّ واليَاقوتِ فِى ناحيِة البَيْتِ فَسَترَتهُ بِثَوْبٍ أَبْيَض بَيْنَها وَبَيْنهُ، فَقَالَ: أَىَّ شيءٍ تَصْنعَينَ؟ فَقالَتْ: أَسْتِحى مِنْ إلَهِى أَنْ يَرانِى عَلى هَذِهِ السَّوْءَةِ. فقالَ يُوسفُ: تَستَحِين مِن صَنَم لا يَأكُلُ وَلا يَشْرَبُ، وَلاَ أستَحِى أنا مِنْ إِلَهى الذى هو قَائِمٌ عَلَى كُلِّ نَفسٍ بِما كسَبَتْ؟ ! ثُمَّ قال: لاَ تَنَالِينَهَا مِنِّى أَبَدًا. وهو البُرْهَانُ الذىَ رآه".

Ali, concerning Allah's words {And she certainly desired him}, said: 'She desired him, so she went to an idol adorned with pearls and rubies in a corner of the house and covered it with a white cloth between herself and it. He said: What are you doing? She said: I am shy before my god that he should see me in this state of indecency. Yusuf said: Are you shy before an idol that does not eat or drink, and I am not shy before my God, who is watching over every soul for what it has earned? Then he said: You will never obtain me. That is {the proof of his Lord that he saw}.'
