The people of Noah belied the message of their Prophet, so they were by this belying all the messengers; because every messenger commands with the confirmation of all the messengers. As their brother Noah said to them: "Will you not fear Allah by leaving the worship of other than Him? Indeed I am to you a messenger trustworthy in what I convey to you, so make the faith a protection for you from the punishment of Allah and obey me in what I command you by it of His worship alone. And I do not ask you a wage on the conveyance of the message, my reward is not but upon the Lord of the worlds, the Disposer in His creation, so beware of His retribution, and obey me by complying with my commands, and avoiding my prohibitions."
