Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Yunus, Ayah 71
۞ وَٱتْلُ عَلَيْهِمْ نَبَأَ نُوحٍ إِذْ قَالَ لِقَوْمِهِۦ يَٰقَوْمِ إِن كَانَ كَبُرَ عَلَيْكُم مَّقَامِى وَتَذْكِيرِى بِـَٔايَٰتِ ٱللَّهِ فَعَلَى ٱللَّهِ تَوَكَّلْتُ فَأَجْمِعُوٓا۟ أَمْرَكُمْ وَشُرَكَآءَكُمْ ثُمَّ لَا يَكُنْ أَمْرُكُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ غُمَّةًۭ ثُمَّ ٱقْضُوٓا۟ إِلَىَّ وَلَا تُنظِرُونِ
And recite to them the news of Noah, when he said to his people, "O my people, if my residence and my reminding of the signs of Allah has become burdensome upon you - then I have relied upon Allah. So resolve upon your plan and [call upon] your associates. Then let not your plan be obscure to you. Then carry it out upon me and do not give me respite.

Ibn Abbas Commentary
(Recite unto them the story of Noah) in the Qur'an, (when he told his people: O my people! If my sojourn (here)) if my extended stay with you (and my reminding you) and my warning of you (by Allah's revelations) from the punishment of Allah (are an offence unto you, in Allah have I put my trust) I rely in and consign my matter to Allah, (so decide upon your course of action) unite upon one decision and one matter, (you and your partners) and seek the help of your idols. (Let not your course of action be in doubt for you) do not make your decision and matter too vague for yourselves. (Then come forth against me, give me no respite) do not wait.
