More dutiful to their mother than anyone in this community.
بِأُمِّهِمَا — to their mother. This packs the preposition bi- ('to, toward') with a noun and a DUAL possessive '-hima' (their, of two), giving 'to their (two persons') mother'. The dual suffix is notable: it agrees with the two sons, marking the mother as shared by exactly two. With the dutifulness word, bi- marks the one the devotion is directed at.
