And Noah—may blessings be upon our Prophet and upon him—said: “My counsel will not benefit you, even though I wish to advise you, if Allah intends to lead you astray. He is your Lord, and to Him you will be returned” (Q 11:34).
He, Exalted is He, also says: “She certainly desired him, and he would have desired her, had he not seen the proof of his Lord. Thus did We turn evil and indecency away from him. Truly, he was one of Our devoted servants” (Q 12:24).
