Tafsir Commentary
وَمَآ أَنَاْ بِطَارِدِ الَّذِينَ ءامَنُواْ
(I am not going to drive away those who have believed.) This alludes to the fact that they (the disbelievers) requested Nuh to disassociate himself from the believers, because they were averse to them and felt themselves too important to sit with them. This is similar to the request of disbelievers to the seal of the Messengers ﷺ to disassociate himself from a group of the people who were considered weak in their social status. They wanted the Prophet to sit with them in a special gathering of the elite. Therefore, Allah revealed,
وَلاَ تَطْرُدِ الَّذِينَ يَدْعُونَ رَبَّهُمْ بِالْغَدَاةِ وَالْعَشِىِّ
(And turn not away those who invoke their Lord, morning and afternoon.) Allah also says,
وَكَذلِكَ فَتَنَّا بَعْضَهُمْ بِبَعْضٍ لِّيَقُولواْ أَهَـؤُلاءِ مَنَّ اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِم مِّن بَيْنِنَآ أَلَيْسَ اللَّهُ بِأَعْلَمَ بِالشَّـكِرِينَ
(Thus We have tried some of them with others, that they might say: "Is it these (poor believers) whom Allah has favored from among us" Does not Allah know best those who are grateful)6:53
And O my people who would help who would defend me against God that is against His chastisement if I drive them away? in other words there is none to help me. Will you not then remember? tadhakkarūn the original second tā’ in tatadhakkarūn has been assimilated with the dhāl will you not then be admonished?
And O my people, who would help me against God, who is the Vanquisher over His servants [cf. Q. 6:18], if I drive them away, and make myself liable to His vanquishing power by driving them awayḍ Will you not then remember, the requirements of the human primordial nature and thus be restrained from what you sayḍ

ويا قوم مَن يمنعني من الله إن عاقبني على طردي المؤمنين؟ أفلا تتدبرون الأمور فتعلموا ما هو الأنفع لكم والأصلح؟
كما سأل أمثالهم خاتم الرسل صلي الله عليه وسلم أن يطرد عنهم جماعة من الضعفاء ويجلس معهم مجلسا خاصا فأنزل الله تعالى "ولا تطرد الذين يدعون ربهم بالغداة والعشي" الآية. وقال تعالى "وكذلك فتنا بعضهم ببعض ليقولوا أهؤلاء من الله عليهم من بيننا أليس الله بأعلم بالشاكرين" الآية.
ثم وجه إليهم نداء ثالثا لعلهم يفيئون إلى رشدهم فقالك ( وياقوم مَن يَنصُرُنِي مِنَ الله إِن طَرَدتُّهُمْ أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ )أى : افترضوا يا قوم أنى طردت هؤلاء المؤمنين الفقراء من مجلسى ، فمن ذا الذى يحمينى ويجبرنى من عذاب الله ، لأنه - سبحانه - ميزانه فى تقييم الناس ليس كميزانكم ، إن أكرم الناس عنده هو أتقاكم وليس أغناهم ، وهؤلاء المؤمنون هم أكرم عنده - سبحانه - منكم ، فكيف أطردهم؟والاستفهام فى قوله : ( أَفَلاَ تَذَكَّرُونَ ) لتوبيخهم وزجرهم . والجملة معطوفة على مقدر .أى : أتصرون على جهلكم؛ فلا تتذكرون أن لهم ربا ينصرهم إن طردتهم؟ إنكم إن بقيتم على هذا الإِصرار سيكون أمركم فرطا ، وستتعرضون للعذاب الأليم الذى يهلككم .
القول في تأويل قوله تعالى : وَيَا قَوْمِ مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنْ طَرَدْتُهُمْ أَفَلا تَذَكَّرُونَ (30)قال أبو جعفر : يقول: (ويا قوم من ينصرني)، فيمنعني من الله إن هو عاقبني على طردي المؤمنين الموحِّدين الله إن طردتهم ؟ ، (أفلا تذكرون) ، يقول: أفلا تتفكرون فيما تقولون: فتعلمون خطأه ، فتنتهوا عنه؟.* * *
ويا قوم من ينصرني من الله ) من يمنعني من عذاب الله ، ( إن طردتهم أفلا تذكرون ) تتعظون .
إعادة { ويا قوم } مثل إعادته في الآية قبلها .والاستفهام إنكاري . والنصر : إعانة المقاوم لضدّ أو عدوّ ، وضمن معنى الإنجاء فعدّي ب ( مِن ) أي مَن يخلصني ، أي ينجيني من الله ، أي من عقابه ، لأن طردهم إهانة تؤذيهم بلا موجب معتبر عند الله ، والله لا يحب إهانة أوليائه .وفرع على ذلك إنكاراً على قومه في إهمالهم التذكر ، أي التأمل في الدلائل ومدلولاتها ، والأسباب ومسبّباتها .وقرأ الجمهور { تذّكّرون } بتشديد الذال .وأصل { تذّكرون } ، تتذكرون فأبدلت التاء ذالاً وأدغمت في الذّال . وقرأه حفص «تذكرون» بتخفيف الذّال وبحذف إحدى التاءين . والتذكر تقدم عند قوله : { إن الذين اتّقوا إذا مسّهم طائفٌ من الشيطان تذكّروا } في آخر سورة الأعراف ( 201 ) .
{ وَيَا قَوْمِ مَنْ يَنْصُرُنِي مِنَ اللَّهِ إِنْ طَرَدْتُهُمْ } أي: من يمنعني من عذابه، فإن طردهم موجب للعذاب والنكال، الذي لا يمنعه من دون الله مانع. { أَفَلَا تَذَكَّرُونَ } ما هو الأنفع لكم والأصلح، وتدبرون الأمور.
قوله تعالى : ويا قوم من ينصرني من الله قال الفراء : أي يمنعني من عذابه ." إن طردتهم " أي لأجل إيمانهم .أفلا تذكرون أدغمت التاء في الذال . ويجوز حذفها فتقول : تذكرون .
The task of calling upon people to bow to God relates purely to the Hereafter. In order to ensure its success, it is absolutely necessary that there should be no disputes relating to money, land or property between the call-giver and his addressees. The call-giver himself has to shoulder the responsibility of maintaining a normal atmosphere between himself and his addressees, and for that purpose, he should unilaterally put an end to all types of material and economic disputes. That preacher who, on the one hand, makes a plea for the acceptance of Truth and, on the other, agitates and makes demands about worldly things is not a preacher in the real sense but a charlatan. He can have no value in the eyes either of his addressees or of God. The test of the addressee is that he should be able to see the greatness of Truth in an ordinary man. Conversely, the preacher should not welcome an irreligious person simply because he possesses property and status, nor should he disregard a religious person simply because he does not possess the trappings of worldly pomp and glory. If a preacher does so, it means that by word of mouth he delivers sermons about the importance of the Hereafter, while in practice he proves himself to be one who attaches greater importance to the world. Obviously, this amounts to contradicting oneself, and the word of such a person has no value in the eyes of others.
Then, they were told: ` As for the condition you impose that I should remove the poor from my company in order that you could believe, then let it be very clear that I cannot do that. They may be poor but they are close to the Highest of the high, the greatest honor one can have. Turning such people out is not a right thing to do.'
And: مُّلَاقُو رَبِّهِمْ (They are surely to meet their Lord) could also mean: If, supposedly, I were to turn them out, when they go to their Lord on the day of Qiyamah and complain, what would I have to say? The subject continues in the fourth verse (30): If I were to turn them out, who would save me from Divine punishment? At the end, it was said: All this is nothing but your ignorance and heedlessness. To you being a man is counter to being a prophet, or you go to the other extreme and demand that poor people should be driven away from his company.
(And, O my people! who would deliver me) who would save me (from Allah) from Allah's chastisement (if I thrust them away) due to what you say? (Will ye not then reflect) will you not be admonished by what I say and hence believe?
