( فأوحينا إليه أن اصنع الفلك بأعيننا ووحينا فإذا جاء أمرنا وفار التنور فاسلك فيها ) أدخل فيها ، يقال سلكته في كذا وأسلكته فيه ، ( من كل زوجين اثنين وأهلك إلا من سبق عليه القول منهم ) أي : من سبق عليه الحكم بالهلاك .
( ولا تخاطبني في الذين ظلموا إنهم مغرقون )
So I revealed to him: Make a ship under My supervision and tutorage. Then, when My command to destroy them is issued and water gushes forth from the place where bread is baked, start taking a male and female from every living species onto the ship, so that they can procreate and not become extinct. Also take your family on board, except for those upon whom Allah’s decree of destruction has been passed i.e. your wife and son. Do not request Me to save and not destroy those who have wronged through disbelief; there is no doubt they shall be destroyed by drowning in the water of the flood.
