قال يا نوح انه ليس من اهلك انه عمل غير صالح فلا تسالن ما ليس لك به علم اني اعظك ان تكون من الجاهلين ٤٦
قَالَ يَـٰنُوحُ إِنَّهُۥ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ ۖ إِنَّهُۥ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَـٰلِحٍۢ ۖ فَلَا تَسْـَٔلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِۦ عِلْمٌ ۖ إِنِّىٓ أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكُونَ مِنَ ٱلْجَـٰهِلِينَ ٤٦

Allah replied, “O Noah! He is certainly not of your family—he was entirely of unrighteous conduct. So do not ask Me about what you have no knowledge of! I warn you so you do not fall into ignorance.”

عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ
ʿamalun ghayru ṣaliḥin
"It is an unrighteous act" OR "He is (a person of) unrighteous action"
This refers to the act of asking without knowledge, which Noah (pbuh) was being forbidden from. The pronoun may also refer to the son, with an implied annexing noun. NB: some exegetes took this to mean that he was an illegitimate son.
عَمِلَ غَيْرَ صَالِحٍ
ʿamila ghayra ṣaliḥin
"He acted unrighteously"
This is a verbal sentence as the predicate to innahū, referring to the son of Noah (pbuh).

Explanation

These readings provide complementary meanings, especially if the pronoun in innahū is taken in both to refer to the son [al-Mahdawi].

He has revealed to you ˹O Prophet˺ the Book in truth, confirming what came before it, as He revealed the Torah and the Gospel
