قَالَ ذَٰلِكَ مَا كُنَّا نَبْغِ ۚ فَٱرْتَدَّا عَلَىٰٓ ءَاثَارِهِمَا قَصَصًا

[Moses] exclaimed: "That [was the place] which we were seeking!"72 And the two turned back, retracing their footsteps,
  - Mohammad Asad

I.e., the disappearance of the fish indicated the point at which their quest was to end (see note [67]).

Musa said: "That is the place we were looking for," so they went back retracing their footsteps.
  - Muhammad Farooq-i-Azam Malik
Moses responded, 'That is 'exactly' what we were looking for.'1 So they returned, retracing their footsteps.
  - Mustafa Khattab

 Moses was given a sign: when he and his assistant Joshua (or Yûsha’ ibn Nûn) lost their food (a salted fish), this would be the place where they would find the man of knowledge.

He said: This is that which we have been seeking. So they retraced their steps again.
  - Marmaduke Pickthall
Moses said: "That was what we were seeking after": so they went back on their footsteps following (the path they had come).
  - Abdullah Yusuf Ali
