قلنا: الجواب عن ذلك من وجهين؛ أحدهما، أنا لا نسلم أن ذلك خارق لجميع العادات، بل العادات فيما تقدم قد جرت بمثلها وأكثر من ذلك،وقد ذكرنا بعضها كقصة الخضر عليه السلام وقصة أصحاب الكهف وغير ذلك. وقد أخبر الله تعالى عن نوح عليه السلام أنه لبث في قومه ألف سنة إلا خمسين عاما. وأصحاب السير يقولون إنه عاش أكثر من ذلك وإنما دعا قومه إلى الله تعالى هذه المدة المذكورة بعد أن مضت عليه ستون من عمره.
We will say: There are two answers for this: First reason: One is that we don’t accept that it is a violation of all ordinary norms. Rather, similar long lives, and lives longer than his, have been recorded, and we mentioned some of them such as the story of Khizr (a.s) and the narrative of “the people of the cave” and others. Allah has reported that Nuh (a.s) lived fifty short of one thousand years amongst his people. Historians say that he lived longer, and the said period was the duration of his propagation of faith after he was sixty years old.
