يُوسُف : ١٤

  • قَالُواْ They said
  • لَئِنۡ If
  • أَكَلَهُ eats him
  • ٱلذِّئۡبُ the wolf
  • وَنَحۡنُ while we
  • عُصۡبَةٌ (are) a group
  • إِنَّآ indeed we
  • إِذٗا then
  • لَّخَٰسِرُونَ surely (would be) losers
They said, "If a wolf should eat him while we are a [strong] clan, indeed, we would then be losers."
They said, 'Truly if (la-in: the laam here is for oaths) the wolf were to devour him, when we are [so hardy] a band, a group, then we indeed are losers!', incapable [of anything]. Thus, he sent him off with them.
