Translations

Pickthall — Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall

Then We inspired in him, saying: Make the ship under Our eyes and Our inspiration. Then, when Our command cometh and the oven gusheth water, introduce therein of every (kind) two spouses, and thy household save him thereof against whom the Word hath already gone forth. And plead not with Me on behalf of those who have done wrong. Lo! they will be drowned.

Yusuf Ali — Abdullah Yusuf Ali

So We inspired him (with this message): "Construct the Ark within Our sight and under Our guidance: then when comes Our Command, and the fountains of the earth gush forth, take thou on board pairs of every species, male and female, and thy family- except those of them against whom the Word has already gone forth: And address Me not in favour of the wrong-doers; for they shall be drowned (in the Flood).

تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

فعند ذلك أمره الله تعالى بصنعة السفينة وإحكامها وإتقانها ، وأن يحمل فيها من كل زوجين اثنين ، أي : ذكرا وأنثى من كل صنف من الحيوانات والنباتات والثمار ، وغير ذلك ، وأن يحمل فيها أهله ( إلا من سبق عليه القول ) أي : سبق فيه القول من الله بالهلاك ، وهم الذين لم يؤمنوا به من أهله ، كابنه وزوجته ، والله أعلم .

وقوله : ( ولا تخاطبني في الذين ظلموا إنهم مغرقون ) أي : عند معاينة إنزال المطر العظيم ، لا تأخذنك رأفة بقومك ، وشفقة عليهم ، وطمع في تأخيرهم لعلهم يؤمنون ، فإني قد قضيت أنهم مغرقون على ما هم عليه من الكفر والطغيان . وقد تقدمت القصة مبسوطة في سورة " هود " بما يغني عن إعادة ذلك هاهنا .
