three hundred and fifty years, making his total lifespan, on this reckoning, one thousand seven hundred and eighty years.

As for his grave—peace be upon him— Ibn Jarīr and al-Azraqī relate, on the authority of ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Sābiṭ (or another of the Successors, in a mursal report), that Noah’s grave is inside the Sacred Mosque in Mecca.¹

This report is stronger and more reliable than what many later authors maintain: that his grave lies in a town of the Beqaa Valley known today as Kark Nūḥ, where a mosque was supposedly built for that reason. And Allah knows best.
