Yunus • EN-TAFSIR-IBN-ABBAS
﴿ ثُمَّ بَعَثْنَا مِنۢ بَعْدِهِم مُّوسَىٰ وَهَٰرُونَ إِلَىٰ فِرْعَوْنَ وَمَلَإِي۟هِۦ بِـَٔايَٰتِنَا فَٱسْتَكْبَرُوا۟ وَكَانُوا۟ قَوْمًۭا مُّجْرِمِينَ ﴾
“And after those [earlier prophets] We sent Moses and Aaron with Our messages unto Pharaoh and his great ones: but they gloried in their arrogance, for they were people lost in sin.”
(Then, after them) after these messengers, (We sent Moses and Aaron unto Pharaoh and his chiefs with Our revelations) with Our Scripture; it is also said that this means: with Our nine signs: the hand, the staff, the deluge, the locusts, lice, frogs, blood, drought and shortage of harvests; it is also said that the revelations here mean: obliteration, (but they were arrogant) deeming themselves above faith, the Scripture, the Messenger and the revelations (and were a guilty folk) and were idolaters.
