Ibn Abbas Commentary

(And Noah) We also honoured him with prophethood, (when he cried) when he prayed to his Lord to destroy his people (of old) before Lot, (We heard his prayer and saved him and his household) as well as those who believed in him (from the great affliction) i.e. from drowning.

And mention Noah what follows Nūhan substitutes for it when he called when he supplicated to God against his people — with the words My Lord do not leave upon the earth any inhabitant from among the disbelievers … to the end of the verse Q. 7126 before that is before the time of Abraham and Lot. And We responded to him and delivered him and his people who were in the Ark with him from the great agony namely from drowning and his people’s denial of him.
