Meaning and lessons
Musa and Harun were sent to Pharaoh and said they feared he would act hastily against them or transgress. Allah answered: "Fear not. I am with you both; I hear and I see." Ibn Kathir explains that this is Allah's support, protection and help: nothing is hidden from Him, and nothing happens to them without His knowledge.
Two ayat earlier Allah told them to speak to Pharaoh with gentle words (20:44). Courage and gentleness go together in calling to the truth.
