Even if he is going to receive punishment. it will be given in such a way that he will not be disgraced, because he is the follower of the Holy Prophet صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم | Disgrace is specially set-aside for the infidels.

The dua recited will be by this last group (Tafseer Rooh Mu'ani). They will be offering the dua of forgiveness because they would be seeing the infidels falling into Hell.
