Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
(Therefore We seized him) i.e. Pharaoh, because of what he said initially, “I am your exalted lord”, and his other claim: “I know not that you have a god other than me” (and his hosts) the Coptic people, (and abandoned them unto the sea) and cast them in the sea. (Behold) O Muhammad (the nature of the consequence for evil-doers) how was the end of the idolaters: Pharaoh and his host!
