The Holy Quran 10:71 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

۞ وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَـٰقَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِى وَتَذْكِيرِى بِـَٔايَـٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةً ثُمَّ ٱقْضُوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ

Translation

(O Rasulullaah ﷺ) Recite to them the incident of Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام. (Tell them of the time) When he said to his people, "O my people! If my stay (among you) and my reminders of Allaah's Aayaat are difficult upon you (unpleasant to you and you wish to get rid of me), then only in Allaah do I trust. So you and your partners (may all join forces and) decide your affair (decide what you want to do about me). Then do not let your affair (your decision) be a secret, pass your sentence on me (do to me what you have decided) and do not grant me any respite (any relief because I am not at all afraid of you)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

A lesson from the story of Nuh: that is, tell the people of Makkah the story of Nuh ﵇ and his people, so that it becomes known that those who deny and fabricate lies cannot attain true success. Their capering and glitter last only a few days and ultimately end in everlasting destruction.
