* تفسير Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
{ فَعَصَىٰ فِرْعَوْنُ ٱلرَّسُولَ فَأَخَذْنَاهُ أَخْذاً وَبِيلاً }(But Pharaoh rebelled against the messenger) i.e. Moses, and did not accept his call, (whereupon We seized him with no gentle grip) therefore We punished him with a severe punishment, i.e. by drowning.
