Hadithi
The ship and the fish
Yunus flees to a laden ship. They cast lots and he is among those who lose, and the fish swallows him while he is blameworthy. Had he not been among those who glorify Allah, he would have stayed in its belly until the Day they are resurrected. He is cast on a barren shore, ill, and a gourd vine grows over him.

The prayer in the darkness
He goes off in anger, thinking that Allah would not decree anything against him, and calls out in the darknesses: “There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” Allah answers him and saves him from the distress, as He saves the believers.

وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبًۭا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقْدِرَ عَلَيْهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِى ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبْحَٰنَكَ إِنِّى كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ﴿٨٧﴾

فَٱسْتَجَبْنَا لَهُۥ وَنَجَّيْنَٰهُ مِنَ ٱلْغَمِّ ۚ وَكَذَٰلِكَ نُۨجِى ٱلْمُؤْمِنِينَ ﴿٨٨﴾

A people who believed
Of all the cities, none believed so that its faith benefited it, except the people of Yunus. Allah removed from them the punishment of disgrace in worldly life and let them enjoy life for a time.
Onyesha aya (1)
فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍۢ ﴿٩٨﴾
