The Noble Quran

English

They said: "O Nûh (Noah)! You have disputed with us and much have you prolonged the dispute with us, now bring upon us what you threaten us with, if you are of the truthful."

Muhammad Asad

English

But the great ones among his people, who refused to acknowledge the truth, answered: We do not see in thee anything but a mortal man like ourselves; and we do not see that any follow thee save those who are quite obviously the most abject among us; and we do not see that you could be in any way superior to us: on the contrary, we think that you are liars!

Fatah Muhammad Jalandhari

Urdu

انہوں نے کہا کہ نوح تم نے ہم سے جھگڑا تو کیا اور جھگڑا بھی بہت کیا۔ لیکن اگر سچے ہو تو جس چیز سے ہمیں ڈراتے ہو وہ ہم پر لا نازل کرو

Abdur-Rahman ibn Nasir al-Sa'diArabic

فلما رأوه، لا ينكف عما كان عليه من دعوتهم، ولم يدركوا منه مطلوبهم { قَالُوا يَا نُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَا } من العذاب { إِنْ كُنْتَ مِنَ الصَّادِقِينَ } فما أجهلهم وأضلهم، حيث قالوا هذه المقالة، لنبيهم الناصح. فهلا قالوا: إن كانوا صادقين: يا نوح قد نصحتنا، وأشفقت علينا, ودعوتنا إلى أمر، لم يتبين لنا، فنريد منك أن تبينه لنا لننقاد لك، وإلا فأنت مشكور في نصحك. لكان هذا الجواب المنصف، الذي قد دعي إلى أمر خفي عليه، ولكنهم في قولهم، كاذبون، وعلى نبيهم متجرئون. ولم يردوا ما قاله بأدنى شبهة، فضلا عن أن يردوه بحجة.

Hafiz Ibn KathirArabic

يقول تعالى مخبرا عن استعجال قوم نوح نقمة الله وعذابه وسخطه والبلاء موكل بالمنطق. "قالوا يا نوح قد جادلتنا فأكثرت جدالنا" أي حاججتنا فأكثرت من ذلك ونحن لا نتبعك "فأتنا بما تعدنا" أي من النقمة والعذاب ادع علينا بما شئت فليأتنا ما تدعو به "إن كنت من الصادقين".

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Ismail ibn KathirEnglish

The People's Request of Nuh to bring the Torment and His Response to Them Allah, the Exalted, informs that the people of Nuh sought to hasten Allah's vengeance, torment, anger and the trial (His punishment). This is based on their saying, قَالُواْ ينُوحُ قَدْ جَادَلْتَنَا فَأَكْثَرْتَ جِدَالَنَا (They said: "O Nuh! You have disputed with us and much have you prolonged the dispute with us...") They meant by this, "You (Nuh) have argued with us long enough, and we are still not going to follow you." فَأْتِنَا بِمَا تَعِدُنَآ (now bring upon us what you threaten us with,) What he (Nuh) promised is referring to the vengeance and torment (from Allah). They were actually saying, "Supplicate against us however you wish, and let whatever you have supplicated come to us." إِن كُنتَ مِنَ الصَّـدِقِينَقَالَ إِنَّمَا يَأْتِيكُمْ بِهِ اللَّهُ إِن شَآءَ وَمَآ أَنتُمْ بِمُعْجِزِينَ ("...if you are of the truthful." (In reply to this,) He said: "Only Allah will bring it (the punishment) on you, if He wills, and then you will escape not.)11:32-33 This means, `It is only Allah Who can punish you and hasten your punishment for you. He is the One from Whom nothing escapes. ' وَلاَ يَنفَعُكُمْ نُصْحِى إِنْ أَرَدْتُّ أَنْ أَنصَحَ لَكُمْ إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ (And my advice will not profit you, even if I wish to give you good counsel, if Allah's will is to keep you astray.) This means: something that could be useful to you (in acceptance) of my preaching to you, warning you and advising you. إِن كَانَ اللَّهُ يُرِيدُ أَن يُغْوِيَكُمْ (if Allah's will is to keep you astray.) This means: your deception and your ultimate destruction. هُوَ رَبُّكُمْ وَإِلَيْهِ تُرْجَعُونَ (He is your Lord! and to Him you shall return.) He is the Owner of the finality of all matters. He is the Controller, the Judge, the Most Just and He does not do any injustice. Unto Him belongs the creation and the command. He is the Originator and the Repeater (of the creation). He is the Owner of this life and the Hereafter.

Tafsir Ibn Kathir

Hafiz Ibn KathirUrdu

قوم نوح کی عجلت پسندی کی حماقت قوم نوح کی عجلت بیان ہو رہی ہے کہ عذاب مانگ بیٹھے۔ کہنے لگے بس حجتیں تو ہم نے بہت سی سن لیں۔ آخری فیصلہ ہمارا یہ ہے کہ ہم تو تیری تابعداری نہیں کرنے کے اب اگر تو سچا ہے تو دعا کر کے ہم پر عذاب لے آؤ۔ آپ نے جواب دیا کہ یہ بھی میرے بس کی بات نہیں اللہ کے ہاتھ ہے۔ اسے کوئی عاجز کرنے والا نہیں اگر اللہ کا ارادہ ہی تمہاری گمراہی اور بربادی کا ہے تو پھر واقعی میری نصیحت بےسود ہے۔ سب کا مالک اللہ ہی ہے تمام کاموں کی تکمیل اسی کے ہاتھ ہے۔ متصرف، حاکم، عادل، غیر ظالم، فیصلوں کے امر کا مالک، ابتداء پیدا کرنے والا، پھر لوٹانے والا، دنیا و آخرت کا تنہا مالک وہی ہے۔ ساری مخلوق کو اسی کی طرف لوٹنا ہے۔
