Ibn Abbas Commentary
(So Allah seized him) Allah punished him ((and made him) an example for the after (life) and for the former) the punishment that he suffered in the life of the world is drowning and the punishment of the Hereafter will be in the Fire; it is also said that this means: Allah has punished him because of his former and latter pronouncements. His first pronouncement being: �I do not know of any other god for you except Me� and the second being (I am your Lord the Highest) and it is said that there is an interval of 40 years between the first and second pronouncements.
