Hûd
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[11:42]
And it moved on with them into waves that were like mountains.
At that [moment] Noah cried out to a son of his, who had kept himself aloof [from the others]: "O my dear son! Embark with us, and remain not with those who deny the truth!"

* v.42 : The diminutive in yā bunayya (lit., “O my little son”) is an expression of endearment irrespective of a son’s age: for instance, Noah’s son appears in the above story as a grown man, while Joseph, similarly addressed by his father in 12:5, was a child or, at the most, an adolescent.
