وَجَآءَتۡ سَیَّارَۃٌ فَاَرۡسَلُوۡا وَارِدَہُمۡ فَاَدۡلٰی دَلۡوَہٗ ۖ قَالَ یٰبُشۡرٰی ہٰذَا غُلٰمٌ ۚ وَاَسَرُّوۡہُ بِضٰعَۃً ۚ وَاللّٰہُ عَلِیۡمٌۢ بِمَا یَعۡمَلُوۡنَ
The members of the caravan looked upon Joseph as a precious asset.
Commentary:
It is noteworthy how God takes care of His faithful servants. Joseph’s brothers cast him into a deep well in the wilderness but God so arranged that immediately afterwards a caravan arrived there. A man sent to fetch water from a well happened to go to the very well into which Joseph had been cast and this led to his being taken out alive.
The words, And they concealed him as a piece of merchandise, show that the members of the caravan looked upon Joseph as treasure and saw in him a youth of promise.

The members of the caravan looked upon Joseph as a precious asset.
فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوۡا عَلَیۡہِ قَالُوۡا یٰۤاَیُّہَا الۡعَزِیۡزُ مَسَّنَا وَاَہۡلَنَا الضُّرُّ وَجِئۡنَا بِبِضٰعَۃٍ مُّزۡجٰٮۃٍ فَاَوۡفِ لَنَا الۡکَیۡلَ وَتَصَدَّقۡ عَلَیۡنَاۤ ۖ اِنَّ اللّٰہَ یَجۡزِی الۡمُتَصَدِّقِیۡنَ
The conduct of Joseph’s brothers on this occasion seems to be inexplicable. They seemed to have morally sunk so low that, ignoring the real purpose of their present visit to Egypt, which was to make a search for Joseph, Benjamin and Judah, they began to beg for corn.
Commentary:
The Arabic word عزیز (meaning, an honourable or exalted one) does not seem to be a specific title, though in later times i.e. after the advent of Islam, the Kings of Egypt came to be known by this title. The ancient Egyptians did not speak Arabic and therefore we cannot think that the Ministers of Egypt were known by this title. So in the verse under comment the word has been used only in the sense of a chief or an exalted person. In this sense also Potiphar has been called عزیز in v. 52.

Either they had morally sunk so low that, ignoring the real purpose of their present visit to Egypt, which was to make a search for Joseph, Benjamin and Judah, they began to beg for corn, or, perhaps fearing lest they should be taken for spies, they begged for corn to hide the real purpose of their visit.
