The Holy Quran 54:9 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

۞ كَذَّبَتْ قَبْلَهُمْ قَوْمُ نُوحٍ فَكَذَّبُوا۟ عَبْدَنَا وَقَالُوا۟ مَجْنُونٌ وَٱزْدُجِرَ

Translation

The nation of Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام rejected (Imaan) before them (the Mushrikeen of Makkah). They rejected Our servant (Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام) and said that he was a madman and he was rebuked (threatened, insulted and shunned by them).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

They said: “O Nuh! If you do not desist from your talk, you will be stoned.” Thus they drowned out his word with threats alone. And some have interpreted وَازْدُجِرَ (“and he was driven back”) thus: [they said] “He is a madman, possessed; the jinn have carried off his reason” (Allah protect us!).
