The Fish

Then the great fish swallowed him, and he was blameworthy.

37:142And the fish swallowed him while he was blameworthy;

So be patient for your Lord’s decision, and do not be like the companion of the fish when he cried out in distress.

68:48But wait thou for thy Lord's decree, and be not like him of the fish, who cried out in despair.

But he called out in the darkness, “There is no Allah but You! Glory be to You! I have been among the wrongdoers.”

21:87And (mention) Dhu'n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying: There is no Allah save Thee. Be Thou Glorified! Lo! I have been a wrong-doer.

Had his Lord’s favour not reached him, he would have been cast out, blamed, and broken.

68:49Had it not been that favour from his Lord had reached him he surely had been cast into the wilderness while he was reprobate.

Had he not been among those who glorify Allah

37:143And had he not been one of those who glorify (Allah)

He would have remained in its belly until the Day of Resurrection.

37:144He would have tarried in its belly till the day when they are raised;

37:145Then We cast him on a desert shore while he was sick;

So, We answered him and saved him from distress, thus We rescue the believers.

21:88Then we heard his prayer and saved him from the anguish. Thus we save believers.
