Younus (Jonah) PBUH was thrown overboard the ship into the ocean. When he ran away from his people because they did not answer his call to Allah, he got onto a ship. When the ship was about to sink, the crew through all the cargo, and they had to throw some people. They drew lots to see who of the crew should be cast overboard and the cast fell on him three times. So, they threw him overboard and the whale swallowed him.
(And Jonah was indeed one of the messengers. ˹Remember˺ when he fled to the overloaded ship. Then ˹to save it from sinking, ˺ he drew straws ˹with other passengers˺. He lost ˹and was thrown overboard˺. Then the whale swallowed him up while he was blameworthy). [Al-Saffat 139-144]
لأن يونس أُلقي من فوق السفينة إلى الماء. عندما هرب من قومه لأنهم لم يستجيبوا لدعوته، ركب السفينة. ولما كادت أن تغرق في البحررمى البحارة البضائع كلها واضطروا أن يرموا أشخاصًا ليخففوا من وزن السفينة. فأخذوا أسهم ليختاروا الشخص ، فوقع عليه السهم .فَابْتَلَعَهُ الحُوتُ.
وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ. إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ. فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ. فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ. فَلَوْلَا أَنَّهُ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُسَبِّحِينَ . لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطْنِهِ إِلَىٰ يَوْمِ يُبْعَثُونَ ﴾ الصافات 37: 139-144
