(The brothers) said, “By Allah! Indeed, Allah has raised you above us... We were certainly in error.”
Sayyed Abbas Sadr-Ameli
They said: 'By Allah! Allah has indeed preferred you above us, and we certainly have been guilty'.
Al-muntakhab fi tafsir al-Qur'an al-Karim
"Goodness", they said, "indeed Allah has taken you by preference out of all of us and exalted you in status, rank and fortune and characterized you by impressive disposition." "We do acknowledge our sinful deed and confess ourselves to Allah with full purpose of amendment of life."
