39. Like the people of Hazrat Nooh, Saleh and Hud (On them be peace) and what end they had met. You are aware of that too. It seems that these people had some knowledge of the historical events.

40. And I had fulfilled this obligation. Thus your guidance therefore, Is not my responsibility. Hence accept faith for your own good and not for my benefit.

 

Ibn-Kathir

The tafsir of Surah Ankabut verse 18 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
Please refer to Surah Ankabut ayat 16 which provides the complete commentary from verse 16 through 18.

(29:18) And if you give the lie (to the Messenger), then many nations before you also gave the lie[30] (to their Messengers). The Messenger is charged with no other duty than to deliver the Message in clear terms.”

Ala-Maududi

(29:18) And if you give the lie (to the Messenger), then many nations before you also gave the lie[30] (to their Messengers). The Messenger is charged with no other duty than to deliver the Message in clear terms.”


30. That is, if you reject my invitation to Tauhid and deny my message that you have to return to your Lord and render an account of your deeds, it will not be a new thing. In the history of mankind many Prophets like Noah, Hud, Salih (peace be upon them) have also brought the same teachings, and their peoples denied them likewise. Now you may judge for yourselves as to whether they harmed the Prophets or only themselves.

(18) And if you [people] deny [the message] - already nations before you have denied. And there is not upon the Messenger except [the duty of] clear notification.[1129]

[1129]- Commentators have differed over this verse - whether it is a continuation of the words of Prophet Abraham or words of comfort given by Allāh to Prophet Muḥammad (ﷺ), which according to context seems more likely.
