The Holy Quran 23:27 — Surah Al-Mu'minun

Arabic text

فَأَوْحَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ أَنِ ٱصْنَعِ ٱلْفُلْكَ بِأَعْيُنِنَا وَوَحْيِنَا فَإِذَا جَآءَ أَمْرُنَا وَفَارَ ٱلتَّنُّورُ ۙ فَٱسْلُكْ فِيهَا مِن كُلٍّ زَوْجَيْنِ ٱثْنَيْنِ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا مَن سَبَقَ عَلَيْهِ ٱلْقَوْلُ مِنْهُمْ ۖ وَلَا تُخَـٰطِبْنِى فِى ٱلَّذِينَ ظَلَمُوٓا۟ ۖ إِنَّهُم مُّغْرَقُونَ

Translation

So We sent revelation to him saying, “Construct an ark under Our supervision and revelation. When Our command (punishment) comes and water gushes forth from the oven (as a sign of the punishment coming), then enter into the ark a pair of every species (of creation) and your family (all those who have Imaan), except those against whom the decree (of punishment) has been passed (condemning them to the punishment). And do not speak to me about those who oppress (do not ask me to save those who commit kufr). They will certainly be drowned."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The Flood of Nuh ﵇: this story has already passed earlier in Surah Hud and elsewhere; see the commentary on these words there. that is, do not take the disbelievers on board, even if they are of your own family. Do not intercede for the wrongdoers: that is, the decisive command of punishment has already been issued.
