* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs

{ قَالُواْ نَفْقِدُ صُوَاعَ ٱلْمَلِكِ وَلِمَن جَآءَ بِهِ حِمْلُ بَعِيرٍ وَأَنَاْ بِهِ زَعِيمٌ }

(They said: We have lost) we are looking for (the king's cup) in which he drinks and also uses for measurement. This cup is made of gold and I am being accused of stealing it, (and he who bringeth it shall have a camel load, and I (said Joseph) am answerable for it) I guarantee a camel load for him. All this was said by the youth whom Joseph had sent after his brothers.
