However, many [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] exegetes have appealed to [[hadith]]s interpreting verses 45 and 46 of Qur'an 11 to show that this remark is unfounded. They believe that the phrase "betrayed them" {{enote|Qur'an 66:10}} in the Qur'an does not imply that Noah's (a) wife was an adulterer and the "Son of Noah (a)" was her illegitimate child.<ref>Ṭabrisī, ''Majmaʿ al-bayān'', vol. 12, p. 69; Makārim Shīrāzī, ''Tafsīr-i nimūna'', vol. 9, p. 117; Ālūsī, ''Rūḥ al-maʿānī'', vol. 6, p. 266; Ṭabarī, ''Tafsīr'', vol. 12, p. 32.</ref> | However, many [[Shiite]] and [[Sunni]] exegetes have appealed to [[hadith]]s interpreting verses 45 and 46 of Qur'an 11 to show that this remark is unfounded.

[['Allama Tabataba'i]] maintains that the son of [[Noah (a)]], who was drowned in the storm, was Noah's (a) true and legitimate son.
