He (Shu`ayb) said to them,
ويا قوم ﻻ يجرمنكم شقاقي
And O my people! Let not my Shiqaq cause you, This means, "Do not let your hatred and enmity of me cause you to persist in your corruption and disbelief. If you continue this way, you will suffer the same vengeance and torment that overcame Nuh's people, Hud's people, Salih's people and Lut's people.'' Qatadah said,
ويا قوم ﻻ يجرمنكم شقاقي
(And O my people! Let not my Shiqaq cause you), "He is saying, `Do not be influenced by your differing with me.''' As-Suddi said, "This means your enmity of me should not lead you to continue in misguidance and disbelief, or else you will be afflicted by what afflicted them.''
أن يصيبكم مثل ما أصاب قوم نوح أو قوم هود أو قوم صالح
... to suffer the fate similar to that of the people of Nuh or of Hud or of Salih, and the people of Lut are not far off from you!'' Concerning His statement,
وما قوم لوط منكم ببعيد
