Is there a benefit in Noah leaving his son when he separated from him?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, the father, the questioner asks about Noah (peace be upon him) leaving his son when he separated from him. Is there a benefit in that?

Answer:
Noah did not leave him; it was the son who left his father. Otherwise, Noah said:
come aboard with us and be not with the disbelievers."ارْكَب مَّعَنَا وَلَا تَكُن مَّعَ الْكَافِرِينَ
[Hud 11:42]
And he did not leave this until the wave came between them, so he could not see him or hear him. Yes, out of his compassion for him. Yes, and indeed, after the matter ended and the drowning was over and the land dried, he said: "My Lord, indeed my son is of my family, and indeed Your promise is the truth, and You are the most just of judges." Allah rebuked him and said to him:
O Noah, indeed he is not of your family; indeed, he is [one whose] work was other than righteous, so ask Me not for that about which you have no knowledgeيَا نُوحُ إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنْ أَهْلِكَ إِنَّهُ عَمَلٌ غَيْرُ صَالِحٍ فَلَا تَسْأَلْنِ مَا لَيْسَ لَكَ بِهِ عِلْمٌ
[Hud 11:46]
. Yes.
