He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be (11:63)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

There did Saleh say: My people, pause here and think and think but this: what if Allah has enlightened my thoughts and my innermost being and imparted to me knowledge, wisdom and spiritual light and extended His mercy to me! Then, how can I neglect the duty of relating His message to the people when it has been entrusted to me. This shall be disobedience. if I am to disobey Allah, who then can save me from His punishment! You people are simply trying to lead me into error and make me lose my way and incur privation of Allahs mercy

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(11:63) Salih said: 'My people! What do you think? If I had a clear evidence from my Lord, and then He also bestowed His mercy upon me, who will rescue me from the punishment of Allah if I still disobey Him? You can only make me lose even more. *73

He said, "O my people, have you considered: if I should be meaning

*73). Prophet Salih (peace be on him) makes it clear to his people that if he were to follow the advice which they offered him, it would virtually lead to his perdition. Were Salih (peace be on him) to act contrary to his conscience and in opposition to the knowledge and guidance intimated to him by God, he would be liable to God's punishment, and his people would be helpless in their efforts to rescue him from that punishment. Moreover, Salih (peace be on him) was not an ordinary person but a Prophet. This made his dereliction in the sight of God even more grave. For, God would take him to task on the grounds that although he had been encumbered with the duty to direct his people to the right way, he had consciously led them to error.

صالحؑ نے کہا "اے برادران قوم، تم نے کچھ اس بات پر بھی غور کیا کہ اگر میں اپنے رب کی طرف سے ایک صاف شہادت رکھتا تھا، اور پھر اس نے اپنی رحمت سے بھی مجھ کو نواز دیا تو اِس کے بعد اللہ کی پکڑ سے مجھے کون بچائے گا اگر میں اُس کی نافرمانی کروں؟ تم میرے کس کام آ سکتے ہو سوائے اس کے کہ مجھے اور زیادہ خسارے میں ڈال دو
