وَنُوحٍ عَشْرُ قُرُونٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ قَالَ فَلَمَّا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيّ صَلَّى الله عَلَيه وَسَلَّم وَأَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ قَالَ فَكَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً
Prophets were sent after people started to differ after being upon the truth
There were ten qarn (generations) between Nūḥ and Ādam. They were all upon the True Shariʿah then they differed ˹thereafter.˺ Then Allah sent Prophets to give glad tidings and warnings. ˹Ibn ʿAbbās˺ said: this is how it is in the recitation of ʿAbdullāh ˹b. Masʿūd˺: "The people were all one ummah (nation) and they then differed..."
«كَانَ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ وَآدَمَ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ فَاخْتَلَفُوا فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ» قَالَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُوا»
[Machine] "Between Adam and Noah were ten centuries, all of them on the same divine law. But when they differed, Allah sent prophets and messengers and revealed His book, so they became one nation."
«كَانَ بَيْنَ آدَمَ وَنُوحٍ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ فَلَمَّا اخْتَلَفُوا بَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ وَالْمُرْسَلِينَ وَأَنْزَلَ كِتَابَهُ فَكَانُوا أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً»
