دَخَلْتُ عَلَى أَبِي الْحَسَنِ مُوسَى ( عليه السلام ) فِي السَّنَةِ الَّتِي قُبِضَ فِيهَا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّهِ ( عليه السلام ) فَقُلْتُ جُعِلْتُ فِدَاكَ مَا لَكَ ذَبَحْتَ كَبْشاً وَ نَحَرَ فُلَانٌ بَدَنَةً فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا مُحَمَّدٍ إِنَّ نُوحاً ( عليه السلام ) كَانَ فِي السَّفِينَةِ وَ كَانَ فِيهَا مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ وَ كَانَتِ السَّفِينَةُ مَأْمُورَةً فَطَافَتْ بِالْبَيْتِ وَ هُوَ طَوَافُ النِّسَاءِ وَ خَلَّى سَبِيلَهَا نُوحٌ ( عليه السلام ) فَأَوْحَى اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَ جَلَّ إِلَى الْجِبَالِ أَنِّي وَاضِعٌ سَفِينَةَ نُوحٍ عَبْدِي عَلَى جَبَلٍ مِنْكُنَّ فَتَطَاوَلَتْ وَ شَمَخَتْ وَ تَوَاضَعَ الْجُودِيُّ وَ هُوَ جَبَلٌ عِنْدَكُمْ فَضَرَبَتِ السَّفِينَةُ بِجُؤْجُؤِهَا الْجَبَلَ قَالَ فَقَالَ نُوحٌ ( عليه السلام ) عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَا مَارِي أَتْقِنْ وَ هُوَ بِالسُّرْيَانِيَّةِ يَا رَبِّ أَصْلِحْ قَالَ فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّ أَبَا الْحَسَنِ ( عليه السلام ) عَرَّضَ بِنَفْسِهِ .
Translation
From him, from his father, from Ali Bin Al Hakam, raising it to Abu Baseer who said, ‘I went over to Abu Al-Hassan Musa<sup>asws</sup> during the year in which Abu Abdullah<sup>asws</sup> had passed away, so I said, ‘May I be sacrificed for you<sup>asws</sup>! What is the matter that you<sup>asws</sup> slaughtered a ram, and so and so slaughtered a camel?’ So he<sup>asws</sup> said: ‘O Abu Muhammad! Nuh<sup>as</sup> was in the ship, and therein was what Allah<sup>azwj</sup> so Desired, and the ship was under Command, so it performed the <span class="iTxt">Tawāf</span> of the House (Kabah), and it is the Tawaaf Al-Nisa, and Nuh<sup>as</sup> had freed its way. So Allah<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> Mighty and Majestic Revealed unto the mountain: “I<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> shall be Placing the ship of Nuh<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup>, My<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup> servant, upon a mountain from you”. So they (the mountains) prolonged themselves to be higher, and the (Mount) Judy humbled itself, and it is a mountain in your presence. So the ship struck the mountain with its keel. So Nuh<sup style="font-weight: normal">as</sup> said during that: ‘<span class="iTxt">O Māry Atqin</span>’, and it is in Assyrian (meaning): ‘O Lord<sup style="font-weight: normal">azwj</sup>! Keep it well’. He (the narrator) said, ‘So I thought Abu Al-Hassan<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> applying it his<sup style="font-weight: normal">asws</sup> own case’.
