Hadith record

425. From him, from his father, and Muhammad Bin Yahya, from Ahmad Bin Muhammad together, from Al-Hassan Bin Ali, from Umar Bin Abaan, from Ismail Al-Ju’fy, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far (asws) has said that: ‘When Noah (as) planted the seeds, his (as) people passed by him. They laughed at him (as) and were mocking him (as) and were saying, ‘He (as) has become a planter (farmer)’, until the trees became tall and mighty, he (as) cut them, then carved them. So they said, ‘He (as) has become a carpenter’. Then he (as) composed it into a ship. So they passed by him (as) laughing, and mocking, and they were saying, ‘He (as) has become a navigator in the wilderness of the earth’, until he (as) completed it’.
