011.046 Y:  He said:  “O Noah!  He is not of thy family:  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!”

P:  He said:  O Noah!  Lo! he is not of thy household; lo! he is of evil conduct, so ask not of Me that whereof thou hast no knowledge.  I admonish thee lest thou be among the ignorant.

S:  He said:  O Nuh! surely he is not of your family; surely he is (the doer of) other than good deeds, therefore ask not of Me that of which you have no knowledge; surely I admonish you lest you may be of the ignorant.

011.047 Y:  Noah said:  “O my Lord!  I do seek refuge with Thee, lest I ask Thee for that of which I have no knowledge.  And unless thou forgive me and have Mercy on me, I should indeed be lost!”

P:  He said:  My Lord!  Lo! in Thee do I seek refuge (from the sin) that I should ask of Thee that whereof I have no knowledge.  Unless Thou forgive me and have mercy on me I shall be among the lost.

S:  He said:  My Lord!  I seek refuge in Thee from asking Thee that of which I have no knowledge; and if Thou shouldst not forgive me and have mercy on me, I should be of the losers.

011.048 Y:  The word came:  “O Noah!  Come down (from the Ark) with peace from Us, and blessing on thee and on some of the peoples (who will spring) from those with thee:  but (there will be other) peoples to whom We shall grant their pleasures (for a time), but in the end will a grievous penalty reach them from Us.”

P:  It was said (unto him):  O Noah!  Go thou down (from the mountain) with peace from Us and blessings upon thee and some nations (that will spring) from those with thee. (There will be other) nations unto whom We shall give enjoyment a long while and then a painful doom from Us will overtake them.

S:  It was said:  O Nuh! descend with peace from Us and blessings on you and on the people from among those who are with you, and there shall be nations whom We will afford provisions, then a painful punishment from Us shall afflict them.

011.049 Y:  Such are some of the stories of the unseen, which We have revealed unto thee:  before this, neither thou nor thy people knew them.  So persevere patiently:  for the End is for those who are righteous.

P:  This is of the tidings of the Unseen which We inspire in thee (Muhammad).  Thou thyself knewest it not, nor did thy folk (know it) before this.  Then have patience.  Lo! the sequel is for those who ward off (evil).

S:  These are announcements relating to the unseen which We reveal to you, you did not know them—­ (neither) you nor your people—­ before this; therefore be patient; surely the end is for those who guard (against evil).

011.050 Y:  To the ’Ad People (We sent) Hud, one of their own brethren.  He said:  “O my people! worship Allah! ye have no other god but Him. (Your other gods) ye do nothing but invent!”
