Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

His People's Threat, Nuh's Prayer against Them, and Their DestructionNuh stayed among his people for a long time, calling them to Allah night and day, in secret and openly. The more he repeated his call to them, the more determined were they to cling to their extreme disbelief and resist his call. In the end, they said:لَئِنْ لَّمْ تَنْتَهِ ينُوحُ لَتَكُونَنَّ مِنَ الْمُرْجُومِينَ(If you cease not, O Nuh you will surely be among those stoned.
