The Reaction of Pharaoh to the Speech of the Believing Man:
This is the last part of the speech of that believing man, and it is clear from this that he delivered this speech while putting his life at stake. And that now Pharaoh would not let him live at any cost. The second thing that becomes evident is that this believing man was not holding an ordinary position, but rather he was entrusted with an extremely sensitive and responsible office, due to which Pharaoh could not dare to arrest him immediately. Pharaoh had come to know that the call of Sayyiduna Musa ؑ had penetrated the highest echelons despite his utmost restrictions and harshness. Therefore, now this matter was not just about this believing man alone or the killing of Musa ؑ, but rather he wanted to find out how far the effects of the Islamic call had reached within his own court and among his own people. That is why, for the time being, he put both of them in abeyance, lest by killing either or both of them, such an uproar might arise which could not be controlled later. And the third thing that becomes clear is that whatever was in the heart of this believing man, he expressed it openly and with full courage. And to further confirm his truthfulness, he also said that soon you will remember my words, that whatever this man said was indeed correct. "Soon" may refer to the Day of Judgment, and it may also refer to the day when the punishment descended upon the people of Pharaoh and they were drowned in the Red Sea.
