وَعِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ أَنَّهَا كَانَتْ فِي السَّفِينَةِ ، فَيُحْتَمَلُ أَنَّهَا كَفَرَتْ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، أَوْ أَنَّهَا أُنْظِرَتْ لِيَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ : وَالظَّاهِرُ الْأَوَّلُ لِقَوْلِهِ : لَا تَذَرُ عَلَى الْأَرْضِ مِنَ الْكَافِرِينَ دَيَّاراً

According to the People of the Book, she was on the ship, so it is possible that she disbelieved after that, or that she was granted respite until the Day of Resurrection; the former is more apparent due to His saying: 'Leave not upon the earth any of the disbelievers as a dweller' (91).

قَالَ اللَّهُ تَعَالَى : فَإِذَا اسْتَوَيْتَ أَنْتَ وَمَنْ مَعَكَ عَلَى الْفُلْكِ فَقُلِ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي نَجَّانَا مِنَ الْقَوْمِ الظَّالِمِينَ * وَقُلْ رَبِّ أَنْزِلْنِي مُنْزَلاً مُبَارَكاً وَأَنْتَ خَيْرُ الْمُنْزِلِينَ

God Almighty said: 'And when you have boarded the ship, you and those with you, then say: Praise be to God who saved us from the wrongdoing people. And say: My Lord, let me land at a blessed landing place, and You are the best of those who bring to land' (92).

أَمَرَهُ أَنْ يَحْمَدَ رَبَّهُ عَلَى مَا سَخَّرَ لَهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ السَّفِينَةِ ، فَنَجَّاهُ بِهَا وَفَتَحَ بَيْنَهُ وَبَيْنَ قَوْمِهِ ، وَأَقَرَّ عَيْنَهُ مِمَّنْ خَالَفَهُ وَكَذَّبَهُ ، كَمَا قَالَ تَعَالَى : ﴿ وَالَّذِي خَلَقَ الْأَزْوَاجَ كُلَّهَا وَجَعَلَ لَكُمْ مِنَ الْفُلْكِ وَالْأَنْعَامِ مَا تَرْكَبُونَ لِتَسْتَوُوا عَلَى ظُهُورِهِ ثُمَّ تَذْكُرُوا نِعْمَةَ رَبِّكُمْ إِذَا اسْتَوَيْتُمْ عَلَيْهِ وَتَقُولُوا سُبْحَانَ الَّذِي سَخَّرَ لَنَا هَذَا وَمَا كُنَّا لَهُ مُقْرِنِينَ . وَإِنَّا إِلَى رَبِّنَا لَمُنْقَلِبُونَ

He commanded him to praise his Lord for what He had subjected for him of this ship, by which He saved him and brought about a decision between him and his people, and comforted his eyes regarding those who opposed and denied him, just as God Almighty said: 'And who created all the pairs and made for you of ships and animals those which you ride, that you may settle yourselves upon their backs, then remember the favor of your Lord when you have settled upon them and say: Exalted is He who has subjected this to us, and we could not have [otherwise] subdued it. And indeed we will, to our Lord, return' (93).
