His Opinion Of The World It is reported that Gabriel said to Noah: O you who have lived the longest life among the Prophets! How do you find life? Noah said: The world is like a house with two doors; I entered it from one door and left it from the other. وَرَوَى أَنَّ جِبْرائيلَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قالَ لِنُوحٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ: يَا أَطْوَلَ الأَنْبِياءِ عُمْرًا كَيْفَ وَجَدْتَ الدُّنْيا؟ قالَ: كَدارٍ لَها بابانِ، دَخَلْتُ مِن أَحَدِهِما وَخَرَجْتُ مِن الآخَر.
His Thanksgiving When Noah was Wearing clothes, eating food or drinking water, he thanked God saying: Praise is due to Allah. It is also reported that Noah would say: In the name of Allah before eating and drinking and praise is due to Allah at the end. وَ كانَ إِذا لَبِسَ ثَوْبًا أَو أَكَلَ طَعامًا أَو شَرِبَ ماءً شَكَرَ اللَّه تَعالى وَقَالَ: الْحَمْدُ للهِ. His Days And Nights It has been reported on the authority of Imam Sadeq that in the mornings and evenings, Noah used to say: O God!
I take You as a witness that all days and nights as well as the blessings of religion and world come from you alone, You have no partner, praise is due to You, thanks is due to You so that you will be pleased with me and thanks after being pleased with me. This was Noah’s thanks giving.
عَن أَبى عَبْدِ اللَّه وَأَبي جَعْفَرٍ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ أَنَّ نُوحًا كَانَ إِذا أَصْبَحَ وَأَمْسى قَالَ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنّي أُشْهِدُكَ أَنَّ مَا أَصْبَحَ أَوْ أَمْسى بي مِنْ نِعْمةٍ في دينٍ أَو دُنْيا فَمِنْكَ وَحْدَكَ لا شَريْكَ لَكَ، لَكَ الحَمْد وَلَكَ الشُّكْرُ بِها عَلَيَّ حَتّى تَرْضى وَبَعد الرِّضا. فَهذا كانَ شُكْرُهُ. Model For Thanksgiving It has been reported on the authority of Imam Zaynl-A’abideen.
That the people have learnt three qualities from three persons: Patience from Job, thanksgiving from Noah and jealousy from the sons of Jacob. عَنْ عَلِيّ بْنِ الحُسَيْنِ عَلَيْهِ السَّلامُ قَالَ: أَخَذَ النَّاسُ ثَلاثَةً مِن ثَلاثَةٍ: أَخَذُوا الصَّبْرَ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ وَالشُّكْرَ عَنْ نُوحٍ، وَالحَسَدَ عَن بَني يَعْقُوبَ. His Appeal To Laa Ilaha Illa Allah It has been reported on the authority of Imam Reza that when Noah embarked in the Ark, God — Glorified and Honored —, inspired him: O Nuh!
If you fear drowning, say a thousand times: La elaha illa Allah, then ask Me for rescue so that I will rescue you and those who believe with you. When they were all placed in the Ark and untied the thick rope of the Ark, a sharp wind started blowing. Hence, Noah did not have time enough to say a thousand times "La elaha illa Allah".
