Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali

So We seized him and his hosts, and We threw them all into the sea (and drowned them). So behold (O Muhammad صلى الله عليه وسلم) what was the end of the Zâlimûn [wrong-doers, polytheists and those who disbelieved in the Oneness of their Lord (Allâh), or rejected the advice of His Messenger Mûsâ (Moses) عليه السلام].

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.

(Ayah 40) ➊ { فَاَخَذْنٰهُ وَ جُنُوْدَهٗ فَنَبَذْنٰهُمْ فِي الْيَمِّ: ’’ نَبَذَ يَنْبِذُ ‘‘} To throw down. At this point, many intermediate events have been omitted, which are mentioned in other places; here, only the outcome has been reported. In these words, Allah has depicted their worthlessness in contrast to their false arrogance: those who considered themselves to be something great, when the respite given to them by Allah to come to the right path ended, they were thrown into the sea like rubbish.
➋ { فَانْظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الظّٰلِمِيْنَ:} In this, every person who seeks a lesson is directed to take heed from their outcome, that the same fate will befall those who deny the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him.

So We seized Pharaoh and his armies and cast them into the sea. So see how was the end of the wrongdoers.

[52]
The Fate of Pharaoh:

At this point, many events in between have been omitted, which are mentioned at numerous other places. Here, only the news of their fate is given—what happened to these oppressors and those who sought greatness in the land. In what helpless state they died, with what regrets in their hearts they passed away, and how, at the time of death, they could not even speak a word to anyone.
