32-3 (The author of the book narrated) my father - may God be pleased with him - narrated that Sa’d ibn Abdullah quoted on the authority of Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Isa that Al-Hassan ibn Ali al-Washsha’ said that he had heard Ar-Ridha’ عليه السلام say, “My father عليه السلام narrated that Abu Abdullah عليه السلام said that the Honorable the Exalted God told Noah, ‘…O Noah! He is not of thy family…’ The reason for this was that Noah’s son was opposed to Noah. God considered those who followed Noah عليه السلام to be of his family.” Al-Washsha’ said that the Imam عليه السلام asked him, “How is this verse about Noah’s son recited?” Al-Washsha’ answered, “The people recite it in two different ways one form of which implies that he was not Noah’s son.” The Imam عليه السلام said, “No, they are liars. He was Noah’s son. However, the Honorable the Exalted God denounced him from being Noah’s son due to his opposition to Noah’s religion.”
