Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Verse range: 11:53

Open in Qurani

The Conversation between (the People of) `Ad and Hud Allah, the Exalted, informs that they said to their Prophet,

قالوا يا هود ما جيتنا ببينة

They said: "O Hud! No evidence have you brought us. This means that they claimed that Hud had not brought them any proof or evidence for what he claimed.

وما نحن بتاركي آلهتنا عن قولك

and we shall not leave our gods for your (mere) saying! They were saying how could his mere statement, "Leave these gods,'' be sufficient proof for them to leave their idols!

وما نحن لك بمومنين

and we are not believers in you. This means that they did not believe what he was saying was true
