آية: 38

وَيَصۡنَعُ ٱلۡفُلۡكَ وَكُلَّمَا مَرَّ عَلَيۡهِ مَلَأٞ مِّن قَوۡمِهِۦ سَخِرُواْ مِنۡهُۚ قَالَ إِن تَسۡخَرُواْ مِنَّا فَإِنَّا نَسۡخَرُ مِنكُمۡ كَمَا تَسۡخَرُونَ

(38) And ˹as˺ he was making^[2538] the ship; whenever a group of the notables of his people passed by him, they ridiculed him. He said: “If you ridicule us, then we ridicule you as you ridicule ˹us˺”.

[2538] Wa yaṣnaʿu (lit. and he makes) is a present simple verb used rhetorically to immediately bring an image to the listener’s mind; he then ‘sees’ Noah (عليه السلام) working on his weighty task (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr).
