Tafsir Ibn Abbas: Hud, Ayah 28
قَالَ يَٰقَوْمِ أَرَءَيْتُمْ إِن كُنتُ عَلَىٰ بَيِّنَةٍۢ مِّن رَّبِّى وَءَاتَىٰنِى رَحْمَةًۭ مِّنْ عِندِهِۦ فَعُمِّيَتْ عَلَيْكُمْ أَنُلْزِمُكُمُوهَا وَأَنتُمْ لَهَا كَٰرِهُونَ
He said, "O my people have you considered: if I should be upon clear evidence from my Lord while He has given me mercy from Himself but it has been made unapparent to you, should we force it upon you while you are averse to it?

Tafsir
Scholars largely agree on this ayah
He said ‘O my people have you considered — inform me — if I am acting upon a clear proof a clear statement from my Lord and He has given me mercy — prophethood — from Him and it has been obscured concealed from you ‘amiyat ‘obscured’ a variant reading has the passive ‘ummiyat can we compel you to it are we able to force you to accept it while you are averse to it? We are not able to do that.
Ibn Abbas Commentary
(He said) Noah said: (O my people! Bethink you, if I rely) if I am (on a clear proof from my Lord) on a clear exposition which has come down from my Lord (and there hath come unto me a mercy from His presence) He favoured me with prophethood and Islam, (and it hath been made obscure to you) and my prophethood and Islam have been made obscure to you, (can we compel you to accept it) can we inspire it or teach it to you (when ye are averse thereto) when you are deniers of it?
