Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Noah will be called on the Day of Resurrection and he will say, 'Labbaik and Saʿdaik, O my Lord!' Allah will say, 'Did you convey the Message?' Noah will say, 'Yes.' His nation will then be asked, 'Did he convey the Message to you?' They will say, 'No Warner came to us.' Then Allah will say (to Noah), 'Who will bear witness in your favor?' He will say, 'Muhammad and his followers. So they (i.e. Muslims) will testify that he conveyed the Message. And the Apostle (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves, and that is what is meant by the Statement of Allah "Thus We have made of you a just and the best nation that you may be witnesses over mankind and the Apostle (Muhammad) will be a witness over yourselves." (2.143)

Collected by Bukhārī, Ibn Mājah, Aḥmad, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, Suyūṭī

The Prophet ﷺ and his nation will stand witness for Nūḥ when his own nation will deny his mission

bukhari:3339Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl > ʿAbd al-Wāḥid b. Ziyād > al-Aʿmash > Abū Ṣāliḥ > Abū Saʿīd

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nūḥ and his nation will come ˹on Judgement Day˺ and Allah will ask, 'Did you convey ˹the Message˺?' He will reply, 'Yes, indeed O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask his nation, 'Did Nuḥ convey ˹the Message˺ to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then Allah will ask Nūḥ, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad and his followers.' So, we will stand as witnesses for him." That is the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a wasaṭ nation that you might be witnesses over mankind... (Baqarah 2:143)" and wasaṭ means justice.

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Noah will be brought (before Allah) on the Day of Resurrection, and will be asked, 'Did you convey the message of Allah?" He will reply, 'Yes, O Lord.' And then Noah's nation will be asked, 'Did he (Noah) convey Allah's message to you?' They will reply, 'No warner came to us.' Then Noah will be asked, 'Who are your witnesses?' He will reply. '(My witnesses are) Muhammad and his followers.' Thereupon you (Muslims) will be brought and you will bear witness." Then the Prophet ﷺ recited: 'And thus We have made of you (Muslims) a just and the best nation, that you might be witness over the nations, and the Apostle a witness over you.' (2.143)
