The Most High said, “And Pharaoh called out to his people, boasting, ‘My people, is the Kingdom of Egypt not mine? And these rivers that flow at my feet, are they not mine? Do you not see?’” [43:51]
He used to boast that the rivers flowed beneath him so Allaah made it all flow above him and put him at the bottom of the sea.

Ibn al-Qayyim said about the Jews, “Allaah split the sea in two for them and saved them from their enemy yet their feet hadn’t even dried when they said to Mūsā, “Make for us a god like their gods.” He replied, “Indeed, you are a really ignorant people!” [Al-Aʿrāf:138] … and even though they had witnessed signs and wonders they wanted to stone Mūsā and his brother Hārūn to death on numerous occasions even though revelation was still being revealed among them!”

“Cursed were those who disbelieved among the Children of Israel by the tongue of David and of Jesus, the son of Mary. That was because they disobeyed and [habitually] transgressed.” [Maaʾidah:78]

Mujāhid said, “They were cursed by the tongue of David and so become apes. And they were cursed by the tongue of Jesus and turned into pigs.”
