قالوا يا أبانا ما نبغي
They said: "O our father! What (more) can we desire...'', what more can we ask for,
هذه بضاعتنا ردت إلينا
This, our money has been returned to us; Qatadah commented (that they said), "What more can we ask for, our merchandise was returned to us and the Aziz has given us the sufficient load we wanted.'' They said next,
ونمير أهلنا
so we shall get (more) food for our family, `if you send our brother with us the next time we go to buy food for our family,'
ونحفظ أخانا ونزداد كيل بعير
and we shall guard our brother and add one more measure of a camel's load. since Yusuf, peace be upon him, gave each man a camel's load of corn.

This quantity is easy (for the king to give). They said these words to make their case more appealing, saying that taking their brother with them is worth this gain,
