فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
(37:142) Then a fish swallowed him, and he was blameworthy.9
فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ
(37:143) Had he not been one of those who glorify Allah,0
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
(37:144) he would certainly have remained in its belly till the Day of Resurrection.1
۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
(37:145) But We threw him on a wide bare tract of land while he was ill;2
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
(37:146) and caused a gourd tree3 to grow over him,
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
(37:147) and We sent him forth to a nation of a hundred thousand or more,4
فَـَٔامَنُواْ فَمَتَّعۡنَٰهُمۡ إِلَىٰ حِينٖ
(37:148) and they believed. So We let them enjoy life for a while.5
