(4). 3107. Ibn 'Abbās narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Allāh drowned Fir'awn he said: 'I believe that there is no god except the One that the children of Isrā'īl believe in.' So Jibra'īl said: 'O Muḥammad! If you could only have seen me, while I was taking (the mud) from the sea, and filling his mouth out of fear that the mercy would reach him.'" (Hasan)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan.

Commentary
This Hadīth teaches us about the Vastness and Abundance of Allāh's Mercy, when Pharaoh was drowning and the clear signs of the punishment appeared to him, he began to express faith for the sake of safety and protection of life, whereas when the punishment appears and it strengthens its grip, believing then is of no use.
