Translation
At length, behold! there came Our command, and the fountains of the earth gushed forth! We said: "Embark therein, of each kind two, male and female, and your family - except those against whom the word has already gone forth,- and the Believers." but only a few believed with him.
Tafsir
Such that when (hattaa represents the objective for [the action of] 'building') Our command came, for their destruction, and the, baker's, oven gushed forth, with water - this was the sign for Noah - We said, 'Load therein, in the ship, of every kind, [of every] male and female, that is, of every species of these two, two, a male and a female (ithnayn constitutes the direct object). According to the story, God gathered for Noah all the beasts of prey and birds and other [animals]; he [Noah] would go through every species [to select them] with his hands, and his right hand would fall upon a male and the left upon a female, whereupon he would take them aboard the ship; and your family - that is, his wife and children - save those against whom the Word has already gone forth, from among them, that they be destroyed: this was his wife and his son Canaan, in contrast with Shem, Ham and Japheth, whom he took aboard together with their three wives, and those who believe'. And none but a few believed with him: it is said that these were six men and their wives; it is also said that the number of all those aboard the ship was eighty, half of whom were men and the other half, women.
"The beginning of the Flood and Nuh loads Every Creature in Pairs upon the Ship
Allah says;
حَتَّى إِذَا جَاء أَمۡرُنَا وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ
(So it was) till when Our command came and the oven gushed forth (water like fountains from the earth).
This was the promise of Allah to Nuh , when the command of Allah came, the rain was continuous and there was a severe storm which did not slacken or subside, as Allah said,
فَفَتَحۡنَأ أَبۡوَبَ السَّمَأءِ بِمَاءٍ مُّنۡهَمِرٍ
وَفَجَّرۡنَا الاٌّرۡضَ عُيُوناً فَالۡتَقَى المَأءُ عَلَى أَمۡرٍ قَدۡ قُدِرَ
وَحَمَلۡنَاهُ عَلَى ذَاتِ أَلۡوَحٍ وَدُسُرٍ
تَجۡرِى بِأَعۡيُنِنَا جَزَاءً لِّمَن كَانَ كُفِرَ
So We opened the gates of the heaven with water pouring forth. And We caused springs to gush forth from the earth. So the waters (of the heaven and the earth) met for a matter predestined. And We carried him on a (ship) made of planks and nails. Floating under Our Eyes:a reward for him who had been rejected! (54:11-14)
In reference to Allah's statement,
وَفَارَ التَّنُّورُ
(and the oven gushed forth), It is related from Ibn Abbas that he said,
""At-Tannur is the face of the earth.""
This verse means that the face of the earth became gushing water springs. This continued until the water gushed forth from the Tananir, which are places of fire. Therefore, water even gushed from the places where fire normally would be.
This is the opinion of the majority of the Salaf (predecessors) and the scholars of the Khalaf (later generations).
قُلۡنَا احۡمِلۡ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوۡجَيۡنِ اثۡنَيۡنِ
We said:""Embark therein, of each kind two (male and female),
At this point, Allah commanded Nuh to select one pair from every kind of creature possessing a soul, and load them on the ship.
Some said that this included other creatures as well, such as pairs of plants, male and female.
It has also been said that the first of the birds to enter the ship was the parrot, and the last of the animals to enter was the donkey.
Concerning Allah's statement,
وَأَهۡلَكَ إِلاَّ مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيۡهِ الۡقَوۡلُ
and your family -- except him against whom the Word has already gone forth.
This means, ""Load your family upon the ship.""
This is referring to the members of his household and his relatives, except him against whom the Word has already gone forth, for they did not believe in Allah. Among them was the son of Nuh, Yam, who went in hermitage. Among them was the wife of Nuh who was a disbeliever in Allah and His Messenger.
Concerning Allah's statement,
وَمَنۡ امَنَ
and those who believe.
from your people.
وَمَا امَنَ مَعَهُ إِلاَّ قَلِيلٌ
And none believed with him, except a few.
This means that only a very small number believed, even after the long period of time that he (Nuh) was among them -- nine hundred and fifty years.
It is reported from Ibn Abbas that he said,
""They were eighty people including their women."""
