The Holy Quran 11:29 — Surah Hud

Arabic text

وَيَـٰقَوْمِ لَآ أَسْـَٔلُكُمْ عَلَيْهِ مَالًا ۖ إِنْ أَجْرِىَ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ ۚ وَمَآ أَنَا۠ بِطَارِدِ ٱلَّذِينَ ءَامَنُوٓا۟ ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّلَـٰقُوا۟ رَبِّهِمْ وَلَـٰكِنِّىٓ أَرَىٰكُمْ قَوْمًا تَجْهَلُونَ

Translation

"O my people! I do not ask you for any wealth. My reward is with my Rabb, and I cannot discard (drive away) those who have Imaan (Nooh عليه الصلاة والسلام said this when the people expressed that they would follow him only if he disassociated himself from his followers who were poor). Surely, they (the poor Mu'mineen) will meet their Rabb (after death when they will be able to complain to Allaah about those who discarded them). However, I deem (see) you to be foolish (ignorant) people (people who make foolish statements, who speak without proof)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — التفسير الميسر

قال نوح عليه السلام لقومه: يا قوم لا أسألكم على دعوتكم لتوحيد الله وإخلاص العبادة له مالاً تؤدونه إليَّ بعد إيمانكم، ولكن ثواب نصحي لكم على الله وحده، وليس من شأني أن أطرد المؤمنين، فإنهم ملاقو ربهم يوم القيامة، ولكني أراكم قومًا تجهلون; إذ تأمرونني بطرد أولياء الله وإبعادهم عني.
