فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَالَّذِينَ آمَنُوا مَعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا قَوْمًا عَمِينَ
“But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship and drowned those who denied Our signs. Indeed, they were a blind people.”
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَاهُ وَمَن مَّعَهُ فِي الْفُلْكِ وَجَعَلْنَاهُمْ خَلَائِفَ وَأَغْرَقْنَا الَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا بِآيَاتِنَا ۖ فَانظُرْ كَيْفَ كَانَ عَاقِبَةُ الْمُنذَرِينَ
“But they denied him, so We saved him and those with him in the ship and made them successors, and We drowned those who denied Our signs. So observe how was the end of those who were warned.”
فَأَوْحَيْنَا إِلَيْهِ أَنِ اصْنَعِ الْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَاءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ فَاسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ اثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ الْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَاطِبْنِي فِي الَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوا ۚ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ
“So We inspired to him, 'Construct the ship under Our observation and Our inspiration.' And when Our command comes and the oven overflows, put into it from every creature two [of each], a pair, and your family, except those for whom the word has preceded from Us. And do not address Me concerning those who have wronged; indeed, they will be drowned.”
