Allah also said,
{But Fir'awn belied and disobeyed. Then he turned his back, striving (against Allah). Then he gathered (his people) and cried aloud. Saying: "I am your lord, most high." So Allah, seized him with exemplary punishment for his last and first transgression. Verily, in this is an instructive admonition for whosoever fears Allah.}

Allah also said,
{He will go ahead of his people on the Day of Resurrection, and will lead them into the Fire, and evil indeed is the place to which they are led.}

This will be the condition of those who were followed. They will have a great share of the punishment on the Day of Resurrection. This is as Allah says,
{For each one there is double (torment), but you know not.}

Allah also says that the disbelievers will say while they are in the Hellfire,
{"Our Lord! Verily, we obeyed our chiefs and our great ones, and they misled us from the (right) way. Our Lord! Give them double torment."}

Concerning the statement,
{They were pursued by a curse in this (deceiving life of this world) and (so they will be pursued by a curse) on the Day of Resurrection.}

meaning, 'We have made them to be followed by something more than the punishment of the Fire and that is their being cursed in this life.'
{and on the Day of Resurrection, evil is the gift granted.}

Mujahid said, "Another curse will be added to them on the Day of Resurrection, so these are two curses." 'Ali bin Abi Talhah said that Ibn 'Abbas said,
{evil indeed is the gift granted.}

"The curse of this life and the Hereafter." Ad-Dahhak and Qatadah both said the same thing. This is similar to Allah's statement,
{And We made them leaders inviting to the Fire: and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped. And We made a curse to follow them in this world, and on the Day of Resurrection, they will be among the despised.}

Allah also says,
{The Fire, they are exposed to it, morning and afternoon. And on the Day when the Hour will be established (it will be said to the angels): "Cause Fir'awn's people to enter the severest torment!"}
