  He says, "My Lord was angry today with an anger like none before it, and none like it will be after it, and indeed there was for me a supplication which I invoked against my people,"

  مِثْلُهُ — like it. A comparison noun meaning 'its like' with an 'it' pronoun fused on. It says no equal anger existed, the attached 'it' pointing back to the anger named earlier, measuring all other anger against this one.
