lowliest among us-those (who have believed) by rash judgement;
neither do we see any superiority in you over us; we consider you
liars.'
He said: 'Tell me my people! If I have a clear proof frommy Lord and
He has bestowed on me His grace, though it be hidden from you, can
we compel you to accept it against your will? I seek of you no wealth
for this, my people; for my reward is only with Allah. Nor will I drive
away the faithful, for they will surelymeet their Lord. But I can see that
you are ignorant men. Were I to drive them away, my people, who
would protect me fromAllah?Will you not take heed?
'I do not say to you that I possess Allah's treasures, and I know not
what is hidden. I do not claim to be an angel, nor do I say to those whom
you disdain that Allah will not be bountiful to them-He knows best
what is in their hearts- for then I should become a wrongdoer.'
They said: 'O Nuh, you have disputed, and disputed too much, with
us. Bring down upon us that with which you threaten us, if what you
say be true! '
He said: 'Allah will bring it down upon you when He pleases: you
shall not escape it. Nor will my advice profit you if I intend to give you
good advice, if Allah intends to lead you into error. He is your Lord,
and toHimyou shall return.'
If they say: 'He has invented it himself,' say: 'If I have indeed
invented it, then onme bemy guilt. I am innocent of your crimes.'
And it was revealed to Nuh: 'None of your people will believe in you
save those who have already believed. Do not grieve at what they do.
