46 Preface قالَ يا نوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيسَ مِن أَهلِكَ ۖ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيرُ صالِحٍ ۖ فَلا تَسأَلنِ ما لَيسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلمٌ ۖ إِنّي أَعِظُكَ أَن تَكونَ مِنَ الجاهِلينَYusuf AliHe said: “O Noah! He is not of thy family:1 For his conduct is unrighteous. So ask not of Me that of which thou hast no knowledge! I give thee counsel, lest thou act like the ignorant!”See n. 5135 above. Like all Prophets of God, Noah was kind-hearted, but he is told that there can be no compromise with evil. And Noah acknowledges the reproof. There was a wife of Noah, who was also an unbelieving woman (66:10), and she suffered the fate of Unbelievers.
