﴿ قَالُوا۟ تَٱللَّهِ لَقَدْ ءَاثَرَكَ ٱللَّهُ عَلَيْنَا وَإِن كُنَّا لَخَٰطِـِٔينَ ﴾

“[The brothers] said: "By God! Most certainly has God raised thee high above us, and we were indeed but sinners!"”

(They said) Joseph's brothers said to Joseph: (By Allah, verily Allah hath preferred you above us, and we were indeed sinful) towards you, and disobedient of Allah..
