Question:
I ask Allah to do you good, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: The people of exegesis mentioned that Noah (peace be upon him) wiped the tail of the elephant in the ship, he wiped the tail of the elephant in the ship and a pig came out of it, and he wiped the tail of the lion and mice came out of it. What is the validity of this statement?

Answer:
I do not know of any tafsir that mentions these Isra'iliyyat. Allah knows best about their truth. Whatever is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), is not mentioned in the Qur'an, and is not established from the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), we neither affirm it nor deny it. Whatever is denied in the Qur'an or the Sunnah, we deny it. Whatever is affirmed in them, we affirm it. And whatever is neither affirmed nor denied, we suspend judgment on it. Allah knows best. Yes.
