The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Nūḥ and his nation will come ˹on Judgement Day˺ and Allah will ask, 'Did you convey ˹the Message˺?' He will reply, 'Yes, indeed O my Lord!' Then Allah will ask his nation, 'Did Nuḥ convey ˹the Message˺ to you?' They will reply, 'No, no prophet came to us.' Then Allah will ask Nūḥ, 'Who will stand a witness for you?' He will reply, 'Muhammad and his followers.' So, we will stand as witnesses for him." That is the Statement of Allah: "Thus we have made you a wasaṭ nation that you might be witnesses over mankind... (Baqarah 2:143)" and wasaṭ means justice.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «يَجِيءُ نُوحٌ وَأُمَّتُهُ فَيَقُولُ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى: هَلْ بَلَّغْتَ؟ فَيَقُولُ: نَعَمْ أَىْ رَبِّ۔ فَيَقُولُ لأُمَّتِهِ: هَلْ بَلَّغَكُمْ؟ فَيَقُولُونَ: لاَ مَا جَاءَنَا مِنْ نَبِيٍّ۔ فَيَقُولُ لِنُوحٍ: مَنْ يَشْهَدُ لَكَ؟ فَيَقُولُ مُحَمَّدٌ ﷺ وَأُمَّتُهُ۔ فَنَشْهَدُ أَنَّهُ قَدْ بَلَّغَ۔» وَهْوَ قَوْلُهُ جَلَّ ذِكْرُهُ {وَكَذَلِكَ جَعَلْنَاكُمْ أُمَّةً وَسَطًا لِتَكُونُوا شُهَدَاءَ عَلَى النَّاسِ} وَالْوَسَطُ الْعَدْلُ۔»  

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."  

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»  

that he mentioned the statement of Allah ﷻ "We sent Nūḥ to his nation... (Nūḥ 71:1)" then mentioned that Nūḥ took a bath and saw his son looking at him. He then said, "You're looking at me while I'm taking a bath? May Allah discolor you." ˹Ibn Masʿūd˺ said: he was then darkened and he is the father of Sūdān (the African race).  

أَنَّهُ ذَكَرَ قَوْلَ اللَّهِ ﷻ {إِنَّا أَرْسَلْنَا نُوحًا إِلَى قَوْمِهِ} [نوح 1] فَذَكَرَ أَنَّ نُوحًا اغْتَسَلَ فَرَأَى ابْنَهُ يَنْظُرُ إِلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: تَنْظُرُ إِلَيَّ وَأَنَا أَغْتَسِلُ؟ خَارَ اللَّهُ لَوْنَكَ! قَالَ: فَاسْوَدَّ فَهُوَ أَبُو السُّودَانِ۔  

There were ten qarn (generations) between Nūḥ and Ādam. They were all upon the True Shariʿah then they differed ˹thereafter.˺ Then Allah sent Prophets to give glad tidings and warnings. ˹Ibn ʿAbbās˺ said: this is how it is in the recitation of ʿAbdullāh ˹b. Masʿūd˺: "The people were all one ummah (nation) and they then differed..."  

«كَانَ بَيْنَ نُوحٍ وَآدَمَ عَشَرَةُ قُرُونٍ كُلُّهُمْ عَلَى شَرِيعَةٍ مِنَ الْحَقِّ فَاخْتَلَفُوا فَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ النَّبِيِّينَ مُبَشِّرِينَ وَمُنْذِرِينَ» قَالَ وَكَذَلِكَ فِي قِرَاءَةِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ «كَانَ النَّاسُ أُمَّةً وَاحِدَةً فَاخْتَلَفُوا»  

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."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «لَوْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ أَحَدًا مِنْ قَوْمِ نُوحٍ لَرَحِمَ أُمَّ الصَّبِيِّ» قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَانَ نُوحٌ مَاكِثًا فِي قَوْمِهِ أَلْفَ سَنَةٍ إِلَّا خَمْسِينَ عَامًا يَدْعُوهُمْ إِلَى اللَّهِ حَتَّى كَانُوا آخِرَ زَمَانِهِ غَرَسَ شَجَرَةً فَعَظُمَتْ وَذَهَبَتْ كُلَّ مَذْهَبٍ ثُمَّ قَطَعَهَا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ يَعْمَلُ سَفِينَةً فَيَسْخَرُونَ مِنْهُ وَيَقُولُونَ يَعْمَلُ سَفِينَةً فِي الْبَرِّ فَكَيْفَ تَجْرِي؟ فَيَقُولُ سَوْفَ تَعْلَمُونَ

فَلَمَّا فَرَغَ مِنْهَا فَارَ التَّنُّورُ وَكَثُرَ الْمَاءُ فِي السِّكَكِ خَشِيَتْ أُمُّ الصَّبِيِّ عَلَيْهِ وَكَانَتْ تُحِبُّهُ حُبًّا شَدِيدًا فَخَرَجَتْ إِلَى الْجَبَلِ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَهُ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهَا الْمَاءُ خَرَجَتْ بِهِ حَتَّى بَلَغَتْ ثُلُثَيِ الْجَبَلِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَهَا خَرَجَتْ حَتَّى اسْتَوَتْ عَلَى الْجَبَلِ فَلَمَّا بَلَغَ الْمَاءُ رَقَبَتَهَا رَفَعَتْهُ بِيَدِهَا حَتَّى ذَهَبَ بِهِ الْمَاءُ فَلَوْ رَحِمَ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ أَحَدًا لَرَحِمَ أُمَّ الصَّبِيِّ۔»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Rajab is a great month in which Allah multiplies the rewards. So whoever fasts for a day in Rajab, it is as if he has fasted for a whole year. And whoever fasts for seven days, the seven gates of Hell will be closed to him. And whoever fasts for eight days, the eight gates of Paradise will be opened for him. And whoever fasts for ten days, Allah will grant him whatever he asks for. And whoever fasts for fifteen days, a caller will announce in the heavens: 'May Allah forgive what has passed for you, so start anew.' And whoever does more, Allah will increase it. And in Rajab, Allah carried Noah in the ark, so he fasted in Rajab and commanded his companions to fast. The ark set sail with them for six months, until they landed on Mount Judi. And Noah and those with him expressed gratitude to Allah. And on the day of Ashura, Allah split the sea for the children of Israel. And on the day of Ashura, Allah accepted the repentance of Adam and the city of Yunus. And in Rajab, Ibrahim ﷺ was born."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رَجَبٌ شَهْرٌ عَظِيمٌ يُضَاعِفُ اللهُ فِيهِ الْحَسَنَاتِ فَمَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَجَبٍ فَكَأَنَّمَا صَامَ سَنَةً وَمَنْ صَامَ مِنْهُ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُلِّقَتْ عَنْهُ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَابِ جَهَنَّمَ وَمَنْ صَامَ مِنْهُ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ فُتِحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الْجَنَّةِ وَمَنْ صَامَ مِنْهُ عَشَرَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَمْ يَسْأَلِ اللهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاهُ إِيَّاهُ وَمَنْ صَامَ مِنْهُ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا نَادَى مُنَادٍ فِي السَّمَاءِ قَدْ غُفِرَ لَكَ مَا مَضَى فَاسْتَئْنِفِ الْعَمَلَ وَمَنْ زَادَ زَادَهُ اللهُ ﷻ وَفِي رَجَبٍ حَمَلَ اللهُ نُوحًا فِي السَّفِينَةِ فَصَامَ رَجَبًا وَأَمَرَ مَنْ مَعَهُ أَنْ يَصُومُوا فَجَرَتْ بِهِمُ السَّفِينَةُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُرٍ آخِرُ ذَلِكَ يَوْمُ عَاشُورَاءَ أُهْبِطَ عَلَى الْجُودِيِّ فَصَامَ نُوحٌ وَمَنْ مَعَهُ وَالْوَحْشُ شُكْرًا لِلَّهِ ﷻ وَفِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ أفْلَقَ اللهُ الْبَحْرَ لِبَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ وَفِي يَوْمِ عَاشُورَاءَ تَابَ اللهُ ﷻ عَلَى آدَمَ ﷺ وَعَلَى مَدِينَةِ يُونُسَ وَفِيهِ وُلِدَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ»  

"مَنْ صَامَ يَوْمًا مِنْ رَجَبٍ كانَ كَصِيَامِ سَنَة، وَمَن صَامَ سَبْعَةَ أَيَّامٍ غُلِّقَتْ عَنْهُ سَبْعَةُ أَبْوَاب جَهَنَّمَ، وَمَن صَامَ ثَمَانِيَةَ أَيَّامٍ فُتِّحَتْ لَهُ ثَمَانِيَةُ أَبْوَابِ الجَنَّةِ، وَمَنْ صَامَ عَشْرَةَ أَيَّامٍ لَمْ يَسْألِ اللهَ شَيئًا إِلا أَعْطَاهُ، وَمَن صَامَ خَمْسَةَ عَشَرَ يَوْمًا نَادَى مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ: قَدْ غَفَرْتُ لَكَ مَا سَلَفَ، فَاسْتَأنِف العَمَلَ، قَدْ بَدَّلتُ سيئاتِكَ حَسَنَات، وَمَن زَادَ زَادَهُ اللهُ، وفِي رَجَبٍ حُمِلَ نُوح بِالسَّفِينة وَصَامَ نُوحٌ وَأَمَرَ مَنْ مَعَهُ أَنْ يَصُومُوا، وَجَرَت بِهِم السفِينَةُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهُر إِلَى آخِرِ ذَلِكَ لِعَشْر خَلَوْنَ مِن المُحَرمِ".  

"رجبٌ شَهْرٌ عظيمٌ، يضاعِفُ اللَّه فيهِ الحسنات، لمنْ صام يوْمًا مِنْ رجب فَكَأنَّما صام سنةً، ومنْ صام مِنْه سبْعةَ أَيَّام غُلِّقَتْ عَنْه أبْوابُ جهنَّمَ، ومنْ صام منْهُ ثَمانِيةَ أَيَّامٍ فُتِّحتْ لَه ثَمانِيةُ أَبْواب الجنِّةِ، ومنْ صام مِنهُ عشرةَ أَيَّامٍ لَمْ يسْأَل اللَّهَ شَيْئًا إِلَّا أَعْطَاه، ومنْ صام مِنْه خَمْسة عشَر يوْمًا نَادى منَاد مِنَ السَّماءِ، قَدْ غُفِر لَكَ ما مضَى فَاستَأْنْفِ العملَ، ومنْ زاد زَاده اللَّه، وفى رجبٍ حَملَ اللَّه نُوحًا في السَّفينةَ فَصام رجب، وأَمر مَنْ معه أَنْ يصوموا فَجرتْ بهمْ السَّفِينَةُ سِتَّةَ أَشْهر، آخِرُ ذَلَكَ الْيَوْم يوْم عاشُوراءَ، اهْبطَ علَى الجودِىِّ، فَصَام نُوحٌ ومنْ معه، والْوحْشُ شُكْرًا للَّهِ ﷻ وفى يَوْم عَاشُورَاءَ فلَقَ اللَّهُ البَحْرَ لبنى إِسْرائِيل وفى يوم عاشُوراءَ تَاب اللَّه علَى آدم وعلَى مدِينةِ يونُس، وفِيهِ وُلِد إِبْراهِيم".
