45
قالا رَبَّنا إِنَّنا نَخافُ أَن يَفرُطَ عَلَينا أَو أَن يَطغىٰ

Muhammad Asad

The two [brothers] said: "O our Sustainer! Verily, we fear lest he act hastily with regard to us,1 or lest he [continue to] transgress all bounds of equity."
  • I.e., "lest he prevent us, by banishing or killing us outright, from delivering Thy message fully".
