This is followed by a similarly short reference to Noah and his saviour: “And long before that, Noah called out [to Us], and We responded to him and saved him with his household from the great calamity, and helped him against the people who had denied Our revelations. Lost in evil were they, and so We caused them all to drown.” (Verses 76-77) Again the reference here does not provide details. It is simply to confirm God’s response to Noah when he appealed to Him. Noah lived at an earlier time than Lot, hence the reference, long before that’. In Noah’s case as well, he and his household were saved with the exception of his wife. As for his people, they were destroyed by the flood, which is described here as ‘the great calamity’. It is described in detail in Sūrah 11, Hūd.

We helped him against the people who denied Our Ayat. Verily, they were a people given to evil. So We drowned them all.
﴿وَنَصَرْنَـهُ مِنَ الْقَوْمِ﴾(We helped him against the people) means, `We saved him and helped him against the people,'﴿الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُواْ بِـَايَـتِنَا إِنَّهُمْ كَانُواْ قَوْمَ سَوْءٍ فَأَغْرَقْنَـهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ﴾(who denied Our Ayat. Verily, they were a people given to evil. So We drowned them all.) meaning, Allah drowned them all, and not one of them was left on the face of the earth, as their Prophet had prayed would happen to them.﴿وَدَاوُودَ وَسُلَيْمَـنَ إِذْ يَحْكُمَانِ فِى الْحَرْثِ إِذْ نَفَشَتْ فِيهِ غَنَمُ الْقَوْمِ وَكُنَّا لِحُكْمِهِمْ شَـهِدِينَ ﴾
