➋ {وَ لَا تَنِيَا فِيْ ذِكْرِيْ : ’’ لَا تَنِيَا ‘‘ ’’وَنٰي يَنِيْ وَنْيًا‘‘} On the pattern of {’’وَعَدَ يَعِدُ‘‘}, meaning to be lazy, negligent, or to become weary. That is, do not be negligent in My remembrance; this will strengthen your resolve and keep your steps firm, because when you remember Me, My countless great favors will remain before you, which will prevent any weakness in fulfilling the mission of prophethood. (Tabari) Allah Almighty has also commanded us to remember Him abundantly when facing the enemy (see Al-Anfal: 45) and has praised those who remember Him in every situation and called them {’’اُولُوا الْاَلْبَابِ ‘‘ }. See Surah Al-Imran (190).

The Benefit of Allah's Remembrance:
Previously, only Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) was told to go to Pharaoh because he had become arrogant. Now, when Sayyiduna Harun (peace be upon him) was also granted prophethood and made his helper, the same instruction was given to both of them, and they were now emphasized not to be negligent in My remembrance, because the remembrance of Allah is the very thing that is the means of success for the people of Allah and the best weapon against the enemy. Through this, the quality of remaining attached to Allah and relying on Him is developed. Then, the strength to endure the hardships that arise in this path with patience and steadfastness is also produced.
