Bis-Millaahir-Rah-maanir-Rahiim.
(In the name of Allaah, the Beneficent, the Merciful)

قَالَا رَبَّنَآ إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَىٰ 45

 قَالَ لَا تَخَافَآ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَىٰ 46 

45.  They said: our Lord! Lo! we fear that he may commit access against us or that he may play the tyrant. 46.  He said: Fear not. Lo! I am with you twain, Hearing and Seeing.

Commentary

Allaah Almighty bestowed Prophet-hood to Moses and his brother Aaron (peace be upon them) both, and after that; He commanded to Moses (peace be upon him): Go now along with your brother and remember Me in all conditions. You should never be negligent or careless from My Remembrance. It is your duty that you should go unto Pharaoh, the King of Egypt. He has transgressed the bounds. He tyrannizes the helpless people and disregards every individual.

Moses (peace be upon him) was aware of the temperament of Pharaoh. He requested: we both brothers are afraid of Pharaoh because he is arrogant and perhaps he either would not let us to go unto himself or be enraged after hearing incomplete saying, then he may tyrannize us or command to kill us.

After that it was commanded: you should not fear in this matter. I am with you every time. I hear your every saying and see your every deed. I shall be hearing entire conversation among you and Pharaoh. I shall be seeing Pharaoh’s behavior with you. Don’t worry and do your duty unhesitatingly.

Good servants of Allaah Almighty ask for His help in difficulties when they observe that they are weak, and He helps them.
