Q 11:31

وَلَآ أَقُولُ لَكُمْ عِندِى خَزَآئِنُ ٱللَّهِ وَلَآ أَعْلَمُ ٱلْغَيْبَ وَلَآ أَقُولُ إِنِّى مَلَكٌ وَلَآ أَقُولُ لِلَّذِينَ تَزْدَرِىٓ أَعْيُنُكُمْ لَن يُؤْتِيَهُمُ ٱللَّهُ خَيْرًا ۖ ٱللَّهُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَا فِىٓ أَنفُسِهِمْ ۖ إِنِّىٓ إِذًا لَّمِنَ ٱلظَّـٰلِمِينَ

Et je ne vous dis pas que je détiens les trésors d'Allah, je ne connais pas l'Inconnaissable, et je ne dis pas que je suis un Ange; et je ne dis pas non plus aux gens, que vos yeux méprisent, qu'Allah ne leur accordera aucune faveur; Allah connaît mieux ce qu'il y a dans leurs âmes. [Si je le leur disais], je serais du nombre des injustes.

Muhammad Hamidullah · FR

And I do not tell you that I have the depositories [containing the provision] of Allah or that I know the unseen, nor do I tell you that I am an angel, nor do I say of those upon whom your eyes look down that Allah will never grant them any good. Allah is most knowing of what is within their souls. Indeed, I would then be among the wrongdoers."

Sahih International · EN

Tafsir

Ô mon peuple, je ne prétends pas détenir les réserves détenues seulement par Allah ni ne prétends que je vous distribuerai, si vous avez foi en ce que j’apporte, un surplus de subsistance. Je ne prétends pas non plus connaitre l’Invisible, ni être un ange. Je suis un être humain comme vous. Enfin, je ne dirai pas, concernant les pauvres que vos yeux méprisent et déprécient, qu’Allah ne leur facilitera rien et qu’Il ne les guidera pas. Allah connaît leurs intentions et leurs situations. Si je prétendais tout cela, je serais du nombre des injustes qui méritent le châtiment d’Allah.

Lire Ibn Kathir (Ibn Kathir (abrégé, en anglais))

And I do not say to you that with me are the treasures of Allah, nor that I know the Ghayb; nor do I say I am an angel, and I do not say of those whom your eyes look down upon that Allah will not bestow any good on them. Allah knows what is in their inner selves. In that case, I should, indeed be one of the wrongdoers (31) Nuh is informing them that he is a Messenger from Allah, calling to the worship of Allah alone, without any partners and he is doing this by the permission of Allah. At the same time, he is not asking them for any reward for this work. He invites whomever he meets, whether of nobility or low class. Therefore, whoever responds favorably, then he has achieved salvation. He also explains that he has no power to manipulate the hidden treasures of Allah, nor does he have any knowledge of the Unseen, except what Allah has allowed him to know. Likewise, he is not an angel, rather, he is merely a human Messenger aided with miracles. Nuh goes on to say, "I do not say about these people whom you (disbelievers) detest and look down upon, that Allah will not reward them for their deeds. Allah knows best what is in their souls. If they are believers in their hearts, as their condition appears to be outwardly, then they will have a good reward. If anyone behaves evilly with them after they have believed, then he is a wrongdoer who speaks what he has no knowledge of.
