Could you reference the narration?
Jibril (‘alayhis salam) told Muhammad (sallallahu ‘alayhi wa sallam): “There was nothing on earth that I detested more than Fir’awn. When he [proclaimed] belief [just before drowning] I stuffed his mouth with sludge, fearing that mercy would come to him.”
Answer:
Imam Tabarani (rahimahullah) has recorded this narration on the authority of Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (radiyallahu ‘anhu).
(Al Mu’jamul Awsat, Hadith: 5819)
The narration is corroborated and suitable to quote.
(Refer: Majma’uz Zawaid, vol. 7 pg. 36)

And Allah Ta’ala Knows best.
