Tafsir
So neither the heaven nor the earth wept for them — in contrast to the case with believers at the point of whose death weep both their places of prayer on earth and the route by which their deeds ascend the heaven; nor were they reprieved nor were they deferred until they were able to make repentance.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(And the heaven) the gate of heaven (and the earth) and the place of prayer on earth (wept not for them) for Pharaoh and his folk; this is because when the believer dies the gate of heaven from which his works ascends, and the place wherein he used to pray on earth, will weep for him; Pharaoh and his folk did not have any good works to ascend to heaven nor any place of prayer on earth, (nor were they reprieved) from drowning.
