Tafseer of Nuh : 21
Saheeh International
Noah said, "My Lord, indeed they have disobeyed me and followed him whose wealth and children will not increase him except in loss.
Ibn Kathir
Tafseer 'Ibn Kathir' (EN)
Nuh complains to His Lord about His People's Response
Allah says that,
قَالَ نُوحٌ رَّبِّ إِنَّهُمْ عَصَوْنِي
Nuh said:"My Lord! They have disobeyed me,
Nuh turned to Allah to inform Allah - the All Knowing from Whom nothing escapes - that he presented the clear call, as mentioned previously, and the comprehensive invitation in various ways. He called them sometimes by encouragement and sometimes by intimidating warnings. Yet, they disobeyed him, opposed him, denied him and followed the children of the world. They were those who were heedless of the command of Allah and they possessed delights of wealth and children. However, these things (worldly benefits) were also for gradual punishment and temporary respite, not for honor or blessing.
Thus, Allah says,
وَاتَّبَعُوا مَن لَّمْ يَزِدْهُ مَالُهُ وَوَلَدُهُ إِلاَّ خَسَارًا
and followed one whose wealth and children give him no increase but loss.
The meaning of Allah's statement,
وَمَكَرُوا مَكْرًا كُبَّارًا
