تفسير : (they said: glorified be our lord!) we ask forgiveness of our lord. (lo! we have been wrong-doers) we harmed ourselves by our transgression and intention to deprive the needy ones and also by failing to say “allah willing”.

تفسير : they said, ‘glory be to god, our lord. verily we have been wrongdoers’, by denying the poor folk [what is] their due.
