Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner asks: Is the meaning of the statement of Allah the Exalted[Yunus 10:92] general for everyone who came from the nations, or is it specific to his people? Because some people use this as evidence for the preservation of Pharaoh’s body until our day?
Answer:
There is no evidence for this, because “those behind you” means from among his people, so that they would not say that he did not drown with his people. And Allah displayed his body so that they would see it and know that he had drowned and was cut off.
