Aya 27
27
فَأَوحَينا إِلَيهِ أَنِ اصنَعِ الفُلكَ بِأَعيُنِنا وَوَحيِنا فَإِذا جاءَ أَمرُنا وَفارَ التَّنّورُ ۙ فَاسلُك فيها مِن كُلٍّ زَوجَينِ اثنَينِ وَأَهلَكَ إِلّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيهِ القَولُ مِنهُم ۖ وَلا تُخاطِبني فِي الَّذينَ ظَلَموا ۖ إِنَّهُم مُغرَقونَ

(Muntakhab)

"And do not talk to Me O NUh about those wrongful of actions nor plead on their behalf They shall most certainly be drowned."
