20:47 So go to him and say, 'Indeed, we are messengers of your Lord, so send with us the Children of Israel and do not torment them. We have come to you with a sign from your Lord. And peace will be upon he who follows the guidance.

So go to him and say “Truly we are two messengers of your Lord so let the Children of Israel go with us to Syria and do not continue to chastise them in other words release them from your exploitation of them in those oppressive works of yours such as digging construction and the lifting of heavy objects. We have verily brought you a sign a definitive argument from your Lord as proof of our truthfulness in delivering the Message; and may peace be upon him who follows right guidance that is to say may he be secure from God’s chastisement.

Go to him and say: We are Messengers of Allah, your Creator, We ask you to release the children of Israel from bondage and to send them with us and not to torture them. We have brought you an evident sign from Allah, your Creator, and peace be upon those who have the world all before them and Providence their guide

Musa's fear of Fir`awn and Allah's strengthening Him Allah, 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.
Ad-Dahhak reported from Ibn `Abbas that he said that transgress here means, "To exceed the bounds." قَالَ لاَ تَخَافَآ إِنَّنِى مَعَكُمَآ أَسْمَعُ وَأَرَى ( He (Allah ) said: "Fear not, verily, I am with you both, hearing and seeing.") meaning; "Do not fear him ( Fir`awn ), for verily, I am with you and I hear your speech and his speech as well.
I see your place and I see his place as well.
Nothing is hidden from Me of your affair.
Know that his forehead is in My Hand, and he does not speak, breathe, or use any force, except by My leave and after My command.
I am with you by My protection, My help and My support." فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولاَ إِنَّا رَسُولاَ رَبِّكَ ( So go you both to him, and say: "Verily, we are both Messengers of your Lord..." ) Musa admonishes Fir`awn Concerning his statement, قَدْ جِئْنَـكَ بِـَايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ ( indeed, We have come with a sign from your Lord! ) meaning with evidence and a miracle from your Lord. وَالسَّلَـمُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى ( And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance! ) meaning, `peace be upon you if you follow the guidance.' Because of this, when the Messenger of Allah ﷺ wrote a letter to Heraclius, the emperor of Rome, beginning with,
«بِسْمِ اللهِ الرَّحْمنِ الرَّحِيمِ، مِنْ مُحَمَّدٍ رَسُولِ اللهِ إِلَى هِرَقْلَ عَظِيمِ الرُّومِ، سَلَامٌ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدى، أَمَّا بَعْدُ، فَإِنِّي أَدْعُوكَ بِدِعَايَةِ الْإِسْلَامِ، فَأَسْلِمْ تَسْلَمْ يُؤْتِكَ اللهُ أَجْرَكَ مَرَّتَيْن»
( In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
From Muhammad, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, to Heraclius the emperor of Rome.
Peace be upon him who follows the guidance.
Thus, to proceed: Verily, I invite you with the invitation of Islam.
So accept Islam and you will be safe, and Allah will give you a double reward. ) Due to this, Musa and Harun said to Fir`awn, فَأْتِيَاهُ فَقُولاَ إِنَّا رَسُولاَ رَبِّكَ فَأَرْسِلْ مَعَنَا بَنِى إِسْرَءِيلَ وَلاَ تُعَذِّبْهُمْ قَدْ جِئْنَـكَ بِـَايَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّكَ وَالسَّلَـمُ عَلَى مَنِ اتَّبَعَ الْهُدَى - إِنَّا قَدْ أُوحِىَ إِلَيْنَآ أَنَّ الْعَذَابَ عَلَى مَن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى ( And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance! Truly, it has been revealed to us that the torment will be for him who denies, and turns away. ) In His flawless revelation, Allah has revealed to us that torment is prepared exclusively for those who reject the signs of Allah and turn away from His obedience.
As Allah says, فَأَمَّا مَن طَغَى - وَءاثَرَ الْحَيَوةَ الدُّنْيَا - فَإِنَّ الْجَحِيمَ هِىَ الْمَأْوَى ( Then for him who transgressed all bounds, and preferred the life of this world, Verily, his abode will be Hellfire. ) 79:37-39 Allah, the Exalted, also says, فَأَنذَرْتُكُمْ نَاراً تَلَظَّى - لاَ يَصْلَـهَآ إِلاَّ الاٌّشْقَى - الَّذِى كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى ( Therefore I have warned you of a blazing Fire.
None shall enter it save the most wretched.
Who denies and turns away. ) 92:14-16 Allah also says, فَلاَ صَدَّقَ وَلاَ صَلَّى - وَلَـكِن كَذَّبَ وَتَوَلَّى ( So he neither believed nor prayed! But on the contrary, he belied and turned away. ) 75:31-32 This means that he denied with his heart and turned away by his actions.

( So go ye unto him ) to Pharaoh ( and say: Lo! we are two messengers of thy Lord ) to you. ( So let the Children of Israel go with us ) to their homeland, ( and torment them not ) do not toil them with work, nor kill their men and use their women as servants, because they are free. ( We bring thee a token ) a sign ( from thy Lord ) i.e. the sign of the hand, which is the first sign that he showed to Pharaoh ( And peace will be for him who follows right guidance ) monotheism.

"So go you both to him, and say: 'Verily, we are Messengers of your Lord, so let the Children of Israel go with us, and torment them not; indeed, we have come with a sign from your Lord! And peace will be upon him who follows the guidance!
