Stories Of The Prophets In The Qur'an 49

But there are nations to whom we will give enjoyment and then a
painful punishment from Us will afflict them.' (Surah Hud, 48)
So We rescued him and those with him in the loaded ship. (Surat
ash-Shu'ara', 119)
We rescued him and the occupants of the Ark and made that into a
Sign for all the worlds. (Surat al-'Ankabut, 15)
