Pharaoh Saved in His Body

Muslims like to assert that Pharaoh's (which one?) body was preserved.


S 10:90-92 And we passed beyond the sea with the Banu Isra’il and Fir’awn and his troops followed them in rebellion and enmity until when the drowning came suddenly upon them, he said: I have believed that there is no god but the one whom the Banu Isra’il has believed in and I am of the Muslims. Now? And you disobeyed before and were of the corrupters. So today we save you in your body that you may be to him who has succeeded you a sign. And a lot of people are heedless of our signs.


Fir'awn was saved in his body, i.e. alive. In Legends of the Jews we read:


Pharaoh never died, and never will die. He always stands at the portal of hell, and when the kings of the nations enter, he makes the power of God known to them at once, in these words: "O ye fools! Why have ye not learnt knowledge from me? I am denied the Lord God, and He brought ten plagues upon me, sent me to the bottom of the sea, kept me there for fifty days, released me then, and brought me up. Thus I could not but believe in Him." Ch.1 Vol. 3 https://www.sacred-texts.com/jud/loj/loj303.htm
