﴿ حَتَّىٰٓ إِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ قُلْنَا ٱحْمِلْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّۢ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ وَمَنْ ءَامَنَ ۚ وَمَآ ءَامَنَ مَعَهُۥٓ إِلَّا قَلِيلٌۭ ﴾

“[And so it went on] till, when Our judgment came to pass, and waters gushed forth in torrents over the face of the earth, We said [unto Noah]: "Place on board of this [ark] one pair of each [kind of animal] of either sex, as well as thy family -except those on whom [Our] sentence has already been passed -and all [others] who have attained to faith!"-for, only a few [of Noah's people] shared his faith.”

((Thus it was) till, when Our commandment) the appointed time for Our chastisement (came to pass and the oven gushed forth water) it is also said this means: and the dawn broke, (We said: Load therein) aboard the ship (two of every kind, a pair) a male and a female, (and thy household, save him against whom the word hath gone forth already) except the one upon him the word has already been enjoined, (and those who believe) and carry with you also those who believed. (And but a few were they who believed with him) 80 people in all.
