Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Musa supplicated against Fir`awn and His ChiefsAllah mentioned what Musa said when he prayed against Fir`awn and his chiefs after they refused to accept the truth. They continued to go astray and be haughty and arrogant. Musa said: رَبَّنَآ إِنَّكَ ءاتَيْتَ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلاّهُ زِينَةً(Our Lord! You have indeed bestowed on Fir`awn and his chiefs splendor) and pleasure of this worldly life. وَأَمْوَالاً(and wealth) plentiful and abundant.
