Surah Al-A'raaf (7) — Ayah 64
فَكَذَّبُوهُ فَأَنجَيْنَـٰهُ وَٱلَّذِينَ مَعَهُۥ فِى ٱلْفُلْكِ وَأَغْرَقْنَا ٱلَّذِينَ كَذَّبُوا۟ بِـَٔايَـٰتِنَآ ۚ إِنَّهُمْ كَانُوا۟ قَوْمًا عَمِينَ ﴿64﴾
Translation by Dr. Muhammad Muhsin Khan & Dr. Taqi-ud-Din al-Hilali
But they belied him, so We saved him and those along with him in the ship, and We drowned those who belied Our Ayât (proofs, evidence, verses, lessons, signs, revelations, etc.). They were indeed a blind people.

Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim — Hafiz Abdus Salam Bin Muhammad Bhutvi
Tafsir al-Quran al-Karim is a 4-volume Quran commentary by Hafiz Abdus Salam bin Muhammad Bhutvi, a renowned Salafi (Ahl al-Hadith) scholar and Sheikh ul-Hadith from Pakistan. Based on over 45 years of teaching and research, this tafsir follows the methodology of Tafsir bil-Ma'thur — interpreting the Quran through authentic Hadith, statements of the Companions, and the understanding of the early generations (Salaf). It is distinguished by its complete avoidance of Israeliyyat (Judeo-Christian narratives) and unverified reports. The tafsir is originally written in Urdu, translated to English by tohed.com.
(Ayah 64) {فَاَنْجَيْنٰهُ وَ الَّذِيْنَ مَعَهٗ …… :} In the end, Allah Almighty saved the believers in the ship (sea vessel), and the opponents were destroyed by the flood. Historians say that the estimated year of Noah's flood is 3200 BC. It is narrated that the ship of Noah (peace be upon him) was three-storied, 300 cubits long, 50 cubits wide, and 30 cubits high, but there is no evidence for these things. According to the Torah, this ship sailed for about five months, but we have no means to confirm or deny this. In various regions of the world and on different mountains, traces of an ancient and tremendous flood are still found. The details of the story of Noah are in Surah Nuh and Surah Hud, etc. Their blindness was that they neither saw the truth nor were ready to accept it.
