The reconciliation between Allah’s saying to Pharaoh: “Now, when you have disobeyed before,” and the Prophet’s request of his uncle

Question:
How do you reconcile Allah’s saying to Pharaoh, , and the fact that he had already spoken the words “There is no god but Allah,” with the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) request of his uncle Abu Talib to say them at the time of his death?

Answer:
Before the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was drowned, he asked his servant to do so before the water reached his throat. Abu Talib was of sound mind and heard what the Messenger was saying so that he would understand. When the water reached his throat, he understood but did not hear. This was before the water reached his throat. As for Pharaoh, this only happened after the water reached his throat, after the drowning overtook him. When the drowning overtook him, he was certain of death. Yes.
