Nasb-and-the-Nawasib

The point of evidence is that Allah E declared that Nūḥ’s S son is not from
his Ahl, despite him being his biological son, due to his polytheism. Hence this is
evidence of the fact that the Āl of a messenger in reality are his followers. 1
The answer to this proof is that Allah E has not rejected the fact that the
son of Nūḥ S was from his Ahl in the broader sense of the word, rather he
rejected that he was part of his Ahl in consideration of a more specific meaning,
which is the following:
وَ‏ أَهْ‏ لَكَ‏ إلاَّ‏ مَ‏ نْ‏ سَ‏ بَقَ‏ عَ‏ لَيْهِ‏ القَ‏ وْ‏ لُ‏
And your family, except those about whom the word has preceded. 2
Allah E ordered him to carry with him from his family those regarding whom
his decree (of punishment) had not preceded. 3 Hence what is being rejected is the
son not being part of that Ahl which Nūḥ S was ordered to carry and save (not
his inclusion in the Ahl in the broader sense of the word, i.e. he was still part of
his household, but was excluded from attaining salvation).
Proof 2:
The ḥadīth of Wāthilah ibn al-Asqaʿ which has passed already.
The point of substantiation in the narration is that including Wāthilah I
because of his piety and Allah-consciousness is better than including the entire
Ummah, its pious and impious. 4
The answer to this has passed already so there is no need for repetition. 5
