Translation
(21:76) We bestowed the same favour upon Noah. Recall, when he cried to Us before;68 We accepted his prayer and delivered him and his household from the great distress69 (21:77) and We helped him against a people who rejected Our signs as false. They were indeed an evil people and so We drowned them all.

Commentary

68. This refers to Prophet Noah’s (peace be upon him) prayer which he at last made after having tried his utmost to reform his people: Lord, help me for I have been overpowered. (Surah Al-Qamar, Ayat 10), and Lord, do not leave even a single disbeliever on the earth. (Surah Nooh, Ayat 26).

69. “Great affliction” may either refer to living a miserable life among the wicked people, or to the flood. (For the story of Prophet Noah, see (Surah Al-Aaraf, Ayats: 59-64); (Surah Younus, Ayats 72-74); (Surah Houd, Ayats 25-48), and( Surah Al-Isra, Ayat 3) and the E.N.s thereof).
