Transliteration:( Qaaloo yaaa abaanas taghfir lanaa zunoobanaa innaa kunnaa khaati'een )
205. The plural from "they said" tells us that on this occasion not only Yahooda had come from Egypt, but few brothers had come. though Yahooda was the first to convey the good news, Since the condition for seeking forgiveness for injustice and cruelty is that the fragrance of rose emanated from our Holy prophet perspiration one who is unjustly treated should be the one to forgive, these brother had requested Hazrat Yacoob (on whom be peace) to do this, i.e. he should also forgive them and he should pray to Allah Almighty for same.
