The Aya says:
And I do not tell you that I have Allah’s
stores nor do I claim knowledge of the unperceived nor do I say I am an
angel. And I do not/ will not say to
those that your eyes look down on that Allah will not bring them good. Allah knows what is inside them. I then would be amongst the unjust.
My personal note:
Noah here is bringing his points of
discussion. He humbly tells them what he
is and what he is not. Then he clearly lets them know that mistreating the weak
and vulnerable would be an act of injustice.
