Overview

Nuh is the first of the messengers sent to the people of the earth, in the long hadith of intercession in al-Bukhari. On the Day of Resurrection people come to him first among those seeking intercession, and he says: "I am not in that station," and refers them to Ibrahim 1.

The museum's data describe him as a prophet mentioned in the Qur'an and in Sahih al-Bukhari. His current record has no other details of his life; an additional source is needed.
