Hud 11:40
Hud · Juz 12 · Page 226
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلۡنَا ٱحۡمِلۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ ءَامَنَۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ ٤٠
[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed,1 We said, "Load upon it [i.e., the ship] of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word [i.e., decree] has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.

Commentary on 11:40
﴿حَتّى إذا جاءَ أمْرُنا﴾ غايَةٌ لِقَوْلِهِ ﴿وَيَصْنَعُ الفُلْكَ﴾ وما بَيْنَهُما حالٌ مِنَ الضَّمِيرِ فِيهِ أوْ حَتّى هي الَّتِي يُبْتَدَأُ (p-135)بَعْدَها الكَلامُ. ﴿وَفارَ التَّنُّورُ﴾ نَبَعَ الماءُ مِنهُ وارْتَفَعَ كالقِدْرِ تَفُورُ، و ﴿التَّنُّورُ﴾ تَنُّورُ الخَبْزِ ابْتَدَأ مِنهُ النُّبُوعُ عَلى خَرْقِ العادَةِ وكانَ في الكُوفَةِ في مَوْضِعِ مَسْجِدِها، أوْ في الهِنْدِ أوْ بِعَيْنِ ورْدَةَ مِن أرْضِ الجَزِيرَةِ وقِيلَ التَّنُّورُ وجْهُ الأرْضِ أوْ أشْرَفُ مَوْضِعٍ فِيها. ﴿قُلْنا احْمِلْ فِيها﴾ في السَّفِينَةِ. ﴿مِن كُلٍّ﴾ مِن كُلِّ نَوْعٍ مِنَ الحَيَواناتِ المُنْتَفَعِ بِها. ﴿زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ﴾ ذَكَرًا وأُنْثى هَذا عَلى قِراءَةِ حَفْصٍ والباقُونَ أضافُوا عَلى مَعْنى احْمِلِ اثْنَيْنِ مِن كُلِّ صِنْفٍ ذَكَرٍ وصِنْفٍ أُنْثى. ﴿وَأهْلَكَ﴾ عُطِفَ عَلى زَوْجَيْنِ أوِ اثْنَيْنِ، والمُرادُ امْرَأتُهُ وبَنُوهُ ونِساؤُهم.
﴿إلا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ القَوْلُ﴾ بِأنَّهُ مِنَ المُغْرَقِينَ يُرِيدُ ابْنَهُ كَنْعانَ وأُمَّهُ واعِلَةَ فَإنَّهُما كانا كافِرَيْنِ. ﴿وَمَن آمَنَ﴾ والمُؤْمِنِينَ مِن غَيْرِهِمْ. ﴿وَما آمَنَ مَعَهُ إلا قَلِيلٌ﴾ قِيلَ كانُوا تِسْعَةً وسَبْعِينَ زَوْجَتُهُ المُسْلِمَةُ وبَنُوهُ الثَّلاثَةُ سامٌ وحامٌ ويافِثٌ ونِساؤُهم واثْنانِ وسَبْعُونَ رَجُلًا وامْرَأةً مِن غَيْرِهِمْ.
رُوِيَ أنَّهُ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلاةُ والسَّلامُ اتَّخَذَ السَّفِينَةَ في سَنَتَيْنِ مِنَ السّاجِ وكانَ طُولُها ثَلاثَمِائَةِ ذِراعٍ وعَرَضُها خَمْسِينَ وسُمْكُها ثَلاثِينَ، وجَعَلَ لَها ثَلاثَةَ بُطُونٍ فَحَمَلَ في أسْفَلِها الدَّوابَّ والوَحْشَ وفي أوْسَطِها الإنْسَ وفي أعْلاها الطَّيْرَ.

11:38
وَيَصۡنَعُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَأٞ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُۚ قَالَ إِن تَسۡخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُونَ ٣٨
And he constructed the ship, and whenever an assembly of the eminent of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said, "If you ridicule us, then we will ridicule you just as you ridicule.
11:39
فَسَوۡفَ تَعۡلَمُونَ مَن يَأۡتِيهِ عَذَابٞ يُخۡزِيهِ وَيَحِلُّ عَلَيۡهِ عَذَابٞ مُّقِيمٌ ٣٩
And you are going to know who will get a punishment that will disgrace him [on earth] and upon whom will descend an enduring punishment [in the Hereafter]."
11:40
حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلۡنَا ٱحۡمِلۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلّٖ زَوۡجَيۡنِ ٱثۡنَيۡنِ وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ ٱلۡقَوۡلُ وَمَنۡ ءَامَنَۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٞ ٤٠
[So it was], until when Our command came and the oven overflowed,1 We said, "Load upon it [i.e., the ship] of each [creature] two mates and your family, except those about whom the word [i.e., decree] has preceded, and [include] whoever has believed." But none had believed with him, except a few.

11:41
۞ وَقَالَ ٱرۡكَبُواْ فِيهَا بِسۡمِ ٱللَّهِ مَجۡر۪ىٰهَا وَمُرۡسَىٰهَآۚ إِنَّ رَبِّي لَغَفُورٞ رَّحِيمٞ ٤١
And [Noah] said, "Embark therein; in the name of Allāh [are] its course and its anchorage. Indeed, my Lord is Forgiving and Merciful."
11:42
وَهِيَ تَجۡرِي بِهِمۡ فِي مَوۡجٖ كَٱلۡجِبَالِ وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٌ ٱبۡنَهُۥ وَكَانَ فِي مَعۡزِلٖ يَٰبُنَيَّ ٱرۡكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ ٱلۡكَٰفِرِينَ ٤٢
And it sailed with them through waves like mountains, and Noah called to his son who was apart [from them], "O my son, come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."
11:43
قَالَ سَـَٔاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ جَبَلٖ يَعۡصِمُنِي مِنَ ٱلۡمَآءِۚ قَالَ لَا عَاصِمَ ٱلۡيَوۡمَ مِنۡ أَمۡرِ ٱللَّهِ إِلَّا مَن رَّحِمَۚ وَحَالَ بَيۡنَهُمَا ٱلۡمَوۡجُ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُغۡرَقِينَ ٤٣
[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allāh, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.
11:44
وَقِيلَ يَٰٓأَرۡضُ ٱبۡلَعِي مَآءَكِ وَيَٰسَمَآءُ أَقۡلِعِي وَغِيضَ ٱلۡمَآءُ وَقُضِيَ ٱلۡأَمۡرُ وَٱسۡتَوَتۡ عَلَى ٱلۡجُودِيِّۖ وَقِيلَ بُعۡدٗا لِّلۡقَوۡمِ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٤٤
And it was said, "O earth, swallow your water, and O sky, withhold [your rain]." And the water subsided, and the matter was accomplished, and it [i.e., the ship] came to rest on the [mountain of] Jūdiyy. And it was said, "Away with the wrongdoing people."
11:45
وَنَادَىٰ نُوحٞ رَّبَّهُۥ فَقَالَ رَبِّ إِنَّ ٱبۡنِي مِنۡ أَهۡلِي وَإِنَّ وَعۡدَكَ ٱلۡحَقُّ وَأَنتَ أَحۡكَمُ ٱلۡحَٰكِمِينَ ٤٥
And Noah called to his Lord and said, "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family; and indeed, Your promise is true; and You are the most just of judges!"
