إِنَّ نُوحاً (عليه السلام) لَمَّا غَرَسَ النَّوَى مَرَّ عَلَيْهِ قَوْمُهُ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْحَكُونَ وَ يَسْخَرُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ قَعَدَ غَرَّاساً حَتَّى إِذَا طَالَ النَّخْلُ وَ كَانَ جَبَّاراً طُوَالًا قَطَعَهُ ثُمَّ نَحَتَهُ فَقَالُوا قَدْ قَعَدَ نَجَّاراً ثُمَّ أَلَّفَهُ فَجَعَلَهُ سَفِينَةً فَمَرُّوا عَلَيْهِ فَجَعَلُوا يَضْحَكُونَ وَ يَسْخَرُونَ وَ يَقُولُونَ قَدْ قَعَدَ مَلَّاحاً فِي فَلَاةٍ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ حَتَّى فَرَغَ مِنْهَا.

<a id="_Toc492473554">H 14873</a> – From him, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad together, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Umar Bin Abaan, from Ismail Al-Ju’fy, who has narrated the following: <span class="first-chapter-phrase"><span class="first-in-chapter character-a">A</span>bu Ja’far</span><sup>asws</sup> has said that: ‘When Noah<sup>as</sup> planted the seeds, his<sup>as</sup> people passed by him. They laughed at him<sup>as</sup> and were mocking him<sup>as</sup> and were saying, ‘He<sup>as</sup> has become a planter (farmer)’, until the trees became tall and mighty, he<sup>as</sup> cut them, then carved them. So they said, ‘He<sup>as</sup> has become a carpenter’. Then he<sup>as</sup> composed it into a ship. So they passed by him<sup>as</sup> laughing, and mocking, and they were saying, ‘He<sup>as</sup> has become a navigator in the wilderness of the earth’, until he<sup>as</sup> completed it’.
