And when they came (again) before him (Joseph) they said: O ruler! Misfortune
hath touched us and our folk, and we bring but poor merchandise, so fill for
us the measure and be charitable unto us. Lo! Allah will requite the
charitable.

Commentary
‘Az-zur-ru – (misfortune, severity), this word has passed
earlier. Zurrun is used for every kind of misfortune and evil.
Here it aims “poverty, want, indigence”.
Muz-jaatin – (worthless, less than the requirement and
poor). It has been derived from the word ‘az-jaa’, which means
“carrying forward slowly”. Muz-jaatin means “the thing which
is not able to go forth itself, but it is driven by effort” as defective coins,
worthless merchandise, broken furniture etc.
Tasaddaqun – (be charitable), it is a word of command,
origin of which is sadaqah. It means “to sacrifice for the welfare
of others”.
Brothers of Joseph
(peace be upon him) reached Egypt again in distressed condition and
described to the ruler of Egypt (Joseph) about their un-fortune
circumstances that “the time of fasting from necessity is going to surround us
and the members of our family very soon. We have nothing to pay the price of
the provisions. However we have brought some poor merchandise. Kindly set the
price aside and give us the measure of the same quantity which you give
usually. We are in such condition at this time that you may give us the grain
as Alms and Charity. Allah Almighty is the Merciful and the Gracious. He gives
more from Himself to those who feel pity upon others.
