Chapter 40, Page 472, Juz 24

38. And he who believed said, "O my people, follow me; I will guide you to the way of right conduct. 39. O my people, this worldly life is only [temporary] enjoyment, and indeed, the Hereafter - that is the home of [permanent] settlement. 40. Whoever does an evil deed will not be recompensed except by the like thereof; but whoever does righteousness, whether male or female, while he is a believer - those will enter Paradise, being given provision therein without account. 41. And O my people, how is it that I invite you to salvation while you invite me to the Fire? 42. You invite me to disbelieve in Allāh and associate with Him that of which I have no knowledge, and I invite you to the Exalted in Might, the Perpetual Forgiver. 43. Assuredly, that to which you invite me has no [response to a] supplication in this world or in the Hereafter; and indeed, our return is to Allāh, and indeed, the transgressors will be companions of the Fire. 44. And you will remember what I [now] say to you, and I entrust my affair to Allāh. Indeed, Allāh is Seeing of [His] servants." 45. So Allāh protected him from the evils they plotted, and the people of Pharaoh were enveloped by the worst of punishment - 46. The Fire; they are exposed to it morning and evening. And the Day the Hour appears [it will be said], "Make the people of Pharaoh enter the severest punishment." 47. And [mention] when they will argue within the Fire, and the weak will say to those who had been arrogant, "Indeed, we were [only] your followers, so will you relieve us of a share of the Fire?" 48. Those who had been arrogant will say, "Indeed, all [of us] are in it. Indeed, Allāh has judged between the servants." 49. And those in the Fire will say to the keepers of Hell, "Supplicate your Lord to lighten for us a day from the punishment." 50. They will say, "Did there not come to you your messengers with clear proofs?" They will say, "Yes." They will reply, "Then supplicate [yourselves], but the supplication of the disbelievers is not except in error [i.e., futility]."
