وكنت من المفسدين

And you were one of the mischief-makers. You were among the makers of mischief on the earth who misled the people

وجعلنهم أيمة يدعون إلى النار ويوم القيمة ﻻ ينصرون

and We made them leaders inviting to the Fire: and on the Day of Resurrection, they will not be helped. (28:41) These facts about Fir`awn and his status at that time were among the secrets of the Unseen that Allah revealed to His Messenger, Muhammad. Similarly Abu Dawud At-Tayalisi recorded that Ibn Abbas said that Allah's Messenger said;

قال لي جبريل لو رأيتني وأنا آخذ من حال البحر فٲدسه في فم فرعون مخافة أن تدركه الرحمة

Jibril said to me, "If you could have seen me while I was taking black mud from the sea and placing into the mouth of Fir`awn out of fear that the mercy would reach him.'' Abu Isa At-Tirmidhi and Ibn Jarir also recorded it. At-Tirmidhi said, "Hasan Gharib Sahih.'' About Allah's statement,
