"لَوْ رَحِمَ الله أَحَدًا مِنْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ لَرَحِمَ أُمَّ الصَّبِيِّ، كَانَ نُوح مكَثَ فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمسِينَ عَامًا يَدْعُوهُم حَتَّى كَانَ آخِر زَمَانِهِ غَرَسَ شَجَرةً فَعَظمَت فَذَهَبَت كُلَّ مَذْهَب ثُمَّ قَطَعَهَا، ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَعْمَلُهَا سَفِينَةً فَيَمرُّونَ فيسئلون فيقُول: اعْملهَا سَفِينَة، فَيَسخَرونَ مِنْه وَيَقُولُونَ: يَعْملُ سَفِينَةً فِي البَرِّ، وكَيْفَ تَجْرِي؟ قَالَ: سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا، وَفَارَ التَّنُّور، وَكَثُر المَاء فِي السكك، خَشيت أُمُّ الصَّبِيِّ عَلَيْه، وكَانَت تُحِبُّهُ حُبًا

شَدِيدًا، فَخَرَجَت بِهِ إِلَى الجَبَل حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَهُ، فَلمَّا بَلَغَهَا المَاء خَرَجَتْ بِهِ حَتَّى اسْتَوت عَلَى الجَبَل، فَلَمَا بَلَغَ الْمَاءُ رَقَبتَهَا رَفَعَتْهُ بِيَدِهَا، ثُمَّ ذَهَبَ بِهَا المَاءُ، فَلَوْ رَحِمَ اللهُ - تَعَالَى - مِنْهُم أَحَدًا لَرَحِمَ أُمَّ الصَّبِيِّ".

Construction of the Ark of Nūḥ and the story of the mother of the young child at the time of the Great Flood

hakim:4010ʿAlī b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Mānī > Aḥmad b. Ḥāzim > Abū Gharazah > Mūsá b. Yaʿqūb al-Zamʿī > Fāʾid a freed slave of ʿUbaydullāh b. ʿAlī > Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbd al-Raḥman b. Abū Rabīʿah

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If Allah were to show Mercy to anyone from among the nation of Nūḥ, he would show Mercy to Umm al-Ṣabī (mother of the young boy)." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nūḥ remained with his nation for a thousand years save fifty inviting them ˹to the Message˺ until the end of his time. He planted trees and they became plentiful/large and they ˹grew˺ in all different ways. Then he cut them and began to make his ship. ˹The people˺ used to pass by and say that he is making a ship on land, how would it sail?' The he would said, 'You will soon find out.'

When he was finished with it and 'fār al-tannūr' (commonly interpreted as the bursting of springs from the ground) and the flooding started in the pathways. Umm al-Ṣabī feared for ˹her child˺ and she loved him intensely. She left toward the mountain until she reached a third of it. When the water reached it, she left from there until she settled on the two-thirds of the mountain. Then when the water reached it, she left from there until settled on ˹top˺ of the mountain. When the water reached up to her neck, she lifted him in her arms until the water washed him away. So if Allah were to show Mercy to anyone among them, he would show Mercy to Umm al-Ṣabī."
