وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ
And surely, Yūnus (Jonah) is from among the messengers.
إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ
(Remember) when he ran away towards the boat that was already loaded.
فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ
Then he participated in drawing lots (to offload one of the passengers) and was the one who was defeated.
فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ
Then the fish swallowed him while he was reproaching his own self.
فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ
Had he not been of those who proclaim Allah’s purity,
لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ
he would have definitely lived in its belly till the day when the dead will be raised.
۞فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ
Then We cast him ashore in the open while he was ill,
وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ
and We caused a tree of ourds to grow over him.
وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ
And We had sent him (as messenger) to one hundred thousand, or more.
