This study found that the quality of the Israiliyat narrations in Tafsir al-Tabari about the story of the Prophet Yusuf and the temptation of a woman used to interpret Surah Yusuf verse 24, some of the narrations are odd and not in line with Islamic law, and some are mauquf ( silenced), because it is not supported by the arguments of the Qur'an or hadith. Al-Tabari himself is essentially inconsistent with his aim of interpreting the verses of the Qur'an from narrations that have no clear path of history, especially regarding Surah Yusuf verse 24, where he instead quotes Israeli stories whose quality is not guaranteed. So it is feared that the knowledge obtained regarding these israiliyat stories obscures the true meaning of the original meaning stated by the Qur'an or the Sunnah of the Prophet Muhammad
