﴿ وَلَقَدْ نَادَىٰنَا نُوحٌۭ فَلَنِعْمَ ٱلْمُجِيبُونَ ﴾

“And, indeed, [it was for this reason that] Noah cried unto Us - and how excellent was Our response:”

(And Noah verily prayed unto Us) Noah prayed against his folk, saying: (My Lord! Leave not one of the disbelievers in the land�) [Noah, 71: 26-27], (and gracious was the Hearer of his prayer) by destroying his folk.
