Tafsir of Nuh 71:5

Nuh complains about his Encounter with His People Allah tells about His servant and Messenger, Nuh, and that he complained to his Lord about the response he received from his people, and how he was patient with them for this long period of time -- which was nine hundred and fifty years. He complained due to his explaining and clarifying matters for them and his calling them to guidance and the straightest path. So

قال

he (Nuh) said,

رب إني دعوت قومي ليﻼ ونهارا

O my Lord! Verily, I have called to my people night and day, meaning, `I did not abandon calling them night and day, carrying out Your command and in obedience to You.'

فلم يزدهم دعايي إﻻ فرارا
