He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?

Tafsir (Commentary)

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Local

The Response of Nuh Allah says, informing about the response of Nuh to his people, أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَى بَيِّنَةٍ مِّن رَّبِّى (Tell me, if I have a clear proof from my Lord,) Bayyinah means certainty, a clear matter, and truthful prophethood. That is the greatest mercy from Allah upon him (Nuh) and them (his people). فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ (but that (mercy) has been obscured from your sight.) "Obscured from your sight" in this verse means, `it was hidden from you and you are not guided to it. Thus, you people did not know its importance so you hastily rejected and denied it.' أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا (Shall we compel you (to accept) it) This means, "Should we force you to accept it, while you actually detest it."
