[But] he said, "I will take refuge on a mountain to protect me from the water." [Noah] said, "There is no protector today from the decree of Allah, except for whom He gives mercy." And the waves came between them, and he was among the drowned.
Tafsir
Verse range: 11:43
قال ساوي إلى جبل يعصمني من الماء
The son replied: "I will betake myself to some mountain, it will save me from the water.'' He believed, in his ignorance, that the flood would not reach the tops of the mountains and that if he clung to the top of a mountain, he would be saved from drowning. His father, Nuh, said to him,
قال ﻻ عاصم اليوم من أمر الله إﻻ من رحم
Nuh said: "This day there is no savior from the decree of Allah except him on whom He has mercy." This means that nothing will be saved today from the command of Allah.
وحال بينهما الموج فكان من المغرقين
And waves came in between them, so he (the son) was among the drowned
