What is the validity of the argument using the statement: “So today We will save you with your body” for the existence of Pharaoh’s body?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, says: It is claimed that Pharaoh’s body was found, and this is cited as evidence by the statement of the Exalted:
So today We will save you in body that you may be to those who succeed you a signفَالْيَوْمَ نُنَجِّيكَ بِبَدَنِكَ لِتَكُونَ لِمَنْ خَلْفَكَ آيَةً
[Yunus 10:92]
. Is this correct?

Answer:
The claim that this is Pharaoh’s body is an illusion; this is an illusion; this is an illusion. However, his corpse was brought out because the Children of Israel doubted his death; they doubted his death. So Allah showed them his corpse, lifeless and dead, so that they would know that he had died and their eyes would be reassured by that. Yes.
