حتى اذا جاء امرنا وفار التنور قلنا احمل فيها من كل زوجين اثنين واهلك الا من سبق عليه القول ومن امن وما امن معه الا قليل

At length, behold! There came Our Command, And the fountains of the earth Gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind Two, male and female, And your family—except Those against whom the Word Has already gone forth,— And the Believers." But only a few Believed with him.
