No 549: Narrated Abu Said: Allah's Apostle said, "Noah and his nation will come (on the Day of Resurrection and Allah will ask (Noah), "Did you convey (the Message)?' He will reply, 'Yes, O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask Noah's nation, 'Did Noah convey My Message to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then Allah will ask Noah, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad and his followers (will stand witness for me).' So, I and my followers will stand as witnesses for him (that he conveyed Allah's Message)." That is, (the interpretation) of the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a just and the best nation that you might be witnesses Over mankind .." (2.143)
It's rather intresting that I cam across this Hadith by an email and thought it was very uniqe, yet very truthful because in the Quran it speaks of Noah-pbuh, as a righteous man, who served God and delivered the message to his people, but they rejected and mocked him, that some of them were so arrogant, as it began raining as he told them, it says he was still inviting them to listen and come a board, they were still arrogant to say no his being untruthful and that it will stop. They mostly rejected because of arrogance and Noah-pbuh according to the Quran is not quilty of anything and is one of God's prophets.
