Tafsir
Verse range: 26:116
{They said, "If you do not desist, O Noah, you will surely be among those who are stoned."}
This is not a report of disbelief, for he [Noah] knew that the Knower of the unseen and the witnessed is more knowing. Rather, he meant: "I do not call upon You against them because they have angered and harmed me; I only call upon You for Your sake, for the sake of Your religion, and because they have belied me regarding Your revelation and Your message. So judge {between me and them}."
{‘Ād denied the messengers. When their brother Hūd said to them, "Will you not fear God? Indeed, I am to you a trustworthy messenger. So fear God and obey me. And I do not ask you for it any payment; my payment is only from the Lord of the worlds. Do you build on every high place a sign, amusing yourselves? And do you take palaces, hoping that you might live forever? And when you strike, you strike as tyrants. So fear God and obey me."}
