Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Musa's fear of Fir`awn and Allah's strengthening HimAllah, the Exalted, informs that Musa and Harun pleaded to Allah, expressing their grievance to him:إِنَّنَا نَخَافُ أَن يَفْرُطَ عَلَيْنَآ أَوْ أَن يَطْغَى(Verily, we fear lest he should hasten to punish us or lest he should transgress.) They meant that Fir`awn might seize them unexpectedly with a punishment, or transgress against them by tormenting them, when they actually did not deserve it.
