Commentary
Very few people from Noah's offspring believed in him, so only those were saved, and the rest of the people were all drowned because of their rebellious
behavior. But Sūrat Hūd, 11:40, informs that some other people, other than the offspring of Noah, also believed. Therefore the offspring of those believers along with the offspring of the three sons of Nūh [Noah] were also spared. So it is said in Sūrat Bani Isrā'īl (Al-Isrā'): 'O the children of those whom we carried in the ship with Nūh'. (17:3)
