Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Story of Nuh and His PeopleAllah instructed His Prophet , saying: وَاتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ(And recite to them) relate to the disbelievers of the Quraysh who belied you and rejected you, نَبَأَ نُوحٍ(the news of Nuh) meaning, his story and news with his people who belied him. Tell them how Allah destroyed them and caused every last one of them all to drown. Let this be a lesson for your people, lest they will be destroyed like them.
