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)”

conveyed Allah's Message). That is, (the interpretation) of the

nation that you might be witnesses Over mankind ..“ (2.143)
