The age of Prophet Nūḥ

hakim:4005Abū Saʿīd Aḥmad b. Muḥammad al-Aḥmasī > al-Ḥasan b. Ḥumayd b. al-Rabīʿ > Mūsá b. Ismāʿīl And Hudbah b. Khālid > Ḥammād b. Salamah > ʿAlī b. Zayd > Yūsuf b. Mihrān > Ibn ʿAbbās

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Allah sent Nūḥ at ˹the age of˺ forty years, and he remained with his nation for a thousand years less fifty years inviting them ˹to Islam.˺ He then lived after the flood for sixty years when the number of people increased and they ˹started to˺ spread."  

The two shaykh (Bukhāri and Muslim) agreed upon the ḥadīth of Abū Hurayrah and Anas from the Prophet ﷺ on the ḥadith of shafāʿah (intercession) that ˹the people˺ will come to Nūḥ and say that you were the first Messenger sent upon earth.
الحاكم:٤٠٠٥حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَحْمَسِيُّ ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ حُمَيْدِ بْنِ الرَّبِيعِ ثنا مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ وَهُدْبَةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَا ثنا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ زَيْدٍ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مِهْرَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «بَعَثَ اللَّهُ نُوحًا لِأَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً وَلَبِثَ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا يَدْعُوهُمْ وَعَاشَ بَعْدَ الطُّوفَانِ سِتِّينَ سَنَةً حَتَّى كَثُرَ النَّاسُ وَفَشَوْا»  

قَدِ اتَّفَقَ الشَّيْخَانِ عَلَى حَدِيثِ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ وَأَنَسٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فِي حَدِيثِ الشَّفَاعَةِ فَيَأْتُونَ نُوحًا فَيَقُولُونَ أَنْتَ أَوَّلُ رَسُولٍ أُرْسِلَ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
