10479 - Muhammad ibn al-'Abbas, the freed slave of the Banu Hashim, told us, from 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Salamah, Salamah ibn al-Fadl told us, Muhammad ibn Ishaq told me, he said: Among the accounts of Noah and the accounts of his people, according to what Allah related upon the tongue of His Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and what the people of knowledge mention from the Torah, and what the people preserved in the hadiths from 'Abd Allah ibn 'Abbas, from 'Ubayd ibn 'Umayr, is that Allah sent Noah to his people, and he remained among them for a thousand years less fifty years, calling them to Allah. Sins had spread on the earth, tyrants had increased in it, and they had become exceedingly arrogant against Allah. Noah, according to what the people of knowledge mention, was forbearing and patient; no prophet met with more affliction from his people than he did, except for a prophet who was killed.
