It has reached me that it [the ark] set sail with them on the tenth day of Rajab, and it remained in the water for one hundred and fifty days, and it rested with them upon al-Jūdī for a month, and they descended to the earth on the tenth day of al-Muḥarram.
Qatāda said:
It was mentioned to us that Noah, peace be upon him, sent the crow to look for the water, but it found a carcass and landed upon it. So he sent the [dove] to it, and it brought him an olive leaf, and for that it was given the collar around its neck and the dye on its feet.
Sūrat Hūd from verse (46) to verse (48).
وَبَلَغَنِي أَنَّهَا اسْتَقَلَّتْ بِهِمْ فِي عَشْرٍ خَلَوْنَ مِنْ رَجَبَ، وَكَانَتْ فِي الْمَاءِ خَمْسِينَ وَمِائَةِ يَوْمًا، وَاسْتَقَرَّتْ بِهِمْ عَلَى الْجُوْدِيِّ شَهْرًا، وأهبطوا إِلَى الأَرْض فِي عشر خَلَوْنَ مِنَ الْمُحَرَّمِ.
قَالَ قَتَادَةُ:
وذُكِرَ لَنَا أَنَّ نُوحًا عليه السلام بَعَثَ الْغُرَابَ لِيَنْظُرَ إِلَى الْمَاءِ؛ فَوَجَدَ جِيفَةً فَوَقَعَ عَلَيْهَا، فَبَعَثَ إِلَيْهِ [الْحَمَامَةَ] فَأَتَتْهُ بِوَرَقِ زَيْتُونٍ، فَأُعْطِيَتِ الطَّوْقُ الَّذِي فِي عُنُقهَا وخضاب رِجْلَيْهَا.
سُورَة هود من الْآيَة (٤٦) إِلَى الْآيَة (٤٨).
