Nuh (a): Difference between revisions

In Shi'a hadiths, some of Noah's (a) moral characteristics are mentioned such as being a grateful servant who praised God, the Almighty, whenever he (a) put on clothes, ate food or drank water. It is narrated from Imam al-Baqir (a) and Imam al-Sadiq (a) that in the mornings and in the evenings, Noah (a) said, “O God, I take You as witness that any blessing which exists in my religion or in the world in the mornings and in the evenings is from You. You are One and have no partner. Gratitude and praise belongs to You, as much as You are pleased with me.”

Also, it is mentioned in many narrations that even though Noah (a) had a long life and that he (a) was known as Shaykh al-Anbiya, when the angel of death approached him to take his soul, he (a) was sitting in the Sun; so, he (a) asked the angel to go to the shadow. The angel of death asked him how was the world to him. Noah (a) answered, “what happened to me in this world was like I go from the sun to the shadow.”
