surah Hud aya 27 , English translation of the meaning Ayah.
﴿فَقَالَ الْمَلَأُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا مِن قَوْمِهِ مَا نَرَاكَ إِلَّا بَشَرًا مِّثْلَنَا وَمَا نَرَاكَ اتَّبَعَكَ إِلَّا الَّذِينَ هُمْ أَرَاذِلُنَا بَادِيَ الرَّأْيِ وَمَا نَرَىٰ لَكُمْ عَلَيْنَا مِن فَضْلٍ بَلْ نَظُنُّكُمْ كَاذِبِينَ﴾
[ هود: 27]
11:27 So the eminent among those who disbelieved from his people said, "We do not see you but as a man like ourselves, and we do not see you followed except by those who are the lowest of us [and] at first suggestion. And we do not see in you over us any merit; rather, we think you are liars."
Tafsir Ibn Katheer in EnglishThe nobility and leaders of Noah’s people said that they would not respond to his call, saying that he was no better than them, being a man like them, and that they only saw the least important people among them following him straightaway upon a simple suggestion, without considering carefully or examining the situation.
They said that the believers were not more noble or wealthy than them, nor did they have a higher rank than them, which might make them worthy of being followed by them; rather, they considered them to be lying in their claims.
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
The chiefs of the disbelievers among his people said: "We see you but a man like ourselves, nor do we see any follow you but the meanest among us and they (too) followed you without thinking. And we do not see in you any merit above us, in fact we think you are liars."

فقال الملأ الذين كفروا من قومه ما نراك إلا بشرا مثلنا وما نراك اتبعك إلا الذين هم أراذلنا بادي الرأي وما نرى لكم علينا من فضل بل نظنكم كاذبين

But those of his people in whose hearts reigned vices, follies and falsehood said to him: It is evident that you are no more than a mortal like the rest of us and we do not see that your cause has been espoused but by the abject among us who are deficient in sense and intelligence. Nor do we see that you people are merited with such an attribute distinguishing you or conferring on you an air of distinction; to the contrary we think you are liars
Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi
(11:27) The notables among Noah's own people, who had refused to follow him, responded: 'We merely consider you a human being like ourselves. *31 Nor do we find among those who follow you except the lowliest of our folk, the men who follow you without any proper reason. *32 We see nothing in you to suggest that you are any better than us. *33 Rather, we believe you to be liars.'

*30). Substantially, the same warning was delivered by the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him) in the first few verses (viz. 2-3) of this surah.
*31). This is exactly the same absurd objection which the Makkans raised against the Prophet Muhammad (peace be on him). They found it inconceivable that a mortal like themselves who ate arid drank, walked and slept, and who also had a family could be designated a Messenger by God. (See Ya Sin 36, n. Il;al-Shura42,n.41.)
*32). Again, it is noteworthy that the same objection raised by Noah's people against him was raised by the Makkans against the Prophet (peace be on him). The objection being that it is only persons of insignificant position who joined the Prophet's (peace be on him) ranks. They, thus, tried to belittle both the Message and the Messenger by highlighting that his followers were either a few raw youths, a bunch of slaves, or a group of feeble-minded and superstitious commoners from the lower rungs of society. (See Towards Understanding the Qur'an, vol. Il,al-An'arn6,nn. 34-7,pp. 235-7, and Yunus 10, n. 78. p. 57 above.)
*33). The believers claimed that they enjoyed God's favour and mercy, and that those who chose to deviate from their way were subject to God's wrath.
