98. 1. That is, Pharaoh, just as he was their leader and guide in the world, on the Day of Resurrection he will also be at the forefront and will lead his people under his leadership into Hell.

98. 2. "Wird" refers to a watering place where the thirsty go to quench their thirst. But here, Hell is called "wird"—the watering place, meaning Hell into which people will be taken; that is, both the place is evil and those who go there are evil. May Allah protect us from it.
