The report of Jibril placing clay in the mouth of Pharaoh

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Is it authentic that Jibril (peace be upon him) placed clay in the mouth of Pharaoh so that he would not utter the testimony of faith, and that if he had uttered the testimony of faith, Allah would have had mercy on him?

Answer:
Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said to him:
Now? And you had disobeyed [Him] before and were of the corrupters?آلْآنَ وَقَدْ عَصَيْتَ قَبْلُ وَكُنتَ مِنَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ
[Yunus 10:91]
The testimony of faith does not benefit one at the time of death, it does not benefit when the soul reaches the throat, and neither repentance nor the testimony of faith is of any benefit.

The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
