236. Hazrat Moosa (on whom be peace) had offered this prayer and Hazrat
Haroon (on whom be peace) had said Amien upon it. From this we learn

Says Allah Almighty. "Supplicate to your Lord in absolute humility and
silence". (S7 V55). For this reason Amien in Salaah should be said soflty

The tafsir of Surah Yunus verse 89 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Yunus ayat 88 which provides the complete commentary from verse 88 through 89.
(10:89) Allah responded: ‘The prayer of the two of you is accepted. So keep steadfast, and do not follow the path of the ignorant.[90]
90. In this verse, Allah has urged Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his followers to guard against a common misunderstanding that is likely to arise in such cases. It so happens that those people who have no knowledge of the reality and who do not understand the wisdom of Allah’s ways are liable to believe from the apparent success of His rebels that perhaps it is His will that they should dominate in the world. When they witness the failures of the upholders of the truth in their conflict with falsehood in contrast to the splendor and vast possessions of the champions of falsehood, they begin to think that Allah does not will to help the truth in its conflict with falsehood. Therefore some foolish people further conclude from these wrong suppositions that it is useless to exert for the establishment of the truth. Then they consider it to be the best and most proper thing to rest content with the little religiosity that the sovereignty of falsehood and unbelief allows them. That is why Allah has urged Prophet Moses (peace be upon him) and his followers to guard against such a misunderstanding and to carry on the mission entrusted to them with patience under the adverse circumstances.
[538]- Literally, "the supplication of both of you," i.e., that of Moses and of Aaron, who joined by saying, "Āmeen" ("O Allāh, respond").
