يُوسُف : ٨٨

  • فَلَمَّا So when
  • دَخَلُواْ they entered
  • عَلَيۡهِ upon him
  • قَالُواْ they said
  • يَٰٓأَيُّهَا O Aziz
  • ٱلۡعَزِيزُ O Aziz
  • مَسَّنَا Has touched us
  • وَأَهۡلَنَا and our family
  • ٱلضُّرُّ the adversity
  • وَجِئۡنَا and we have come
  • بِبِضَٰعَةٖ with goods
  • مُّزۡجَىٰةٖ (of) little value
  • فَأَوۡفِ but pay (in) full
  • لَنَا to us
  • ٱلۡكَيۡلَ the measure
  • وَتَصَدَّقۡ and be charitable
  • عَلَيۡنَآۖ to us
  • إِنَّ Indeed
  • ٱللَّهَ Allah
  • يَجۡزِي rewards
  • ٱلۡمُتَصَدِّقِينَ the charitable
So when they entered upon him [i.e., Joseph], they said, "O ʿAzeez, adversity has touched us and our family, and we have come with goods poor in quality, but give us full measure and be charitable to us. Indeed, Allāh rewards the charitable."
And so when they entered to him, they said, 'O Court officer, misfortune, hunger, has befallen us and our family; and we have come with reject merchandise, refused by any person who sees it, because of its worthlessness - it consisted of counterfeit dirhams or something else - so fill up, complete, for us the measure and be charitable to us, by overlooking the worthlessness of our merchandise; truly God requites the charitable', He rewards them: he [Joseph] thus took pity on them and he was overtaken by compassion [for them] and removed the partition between them and himself.
