37. Safat · verses 133–143

وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wainna lootan lamina almursaleena

So also was Lut among those sent (by Us).

إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

Ith najjaynahu waahlahu ajmaAAeena

Behold, We delivered him and his adherents, all

إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

Illa AAajoozan fee alghabireena

Except an old woman who was among those who lagged behind:

ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Thumma dammarna alakhareena

Then We destroyed the rest.

وَإِنَّكُمۡ لَتَمُرُّونَ عَلَيۡهِم مُّصۡبِحِينَ

Wainnakum latamurroona AAalayhim musbiheena

Verily, ye pass by their (sites), by day-

وَبِٱلَّيۡلِۚ أَفَلَا تَعۡقِلُونَ

Wabiallayli afala taAAqiloona

And by night: will ye not understand?

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

Wainna yoonusa lamina almursaleena

So also was Jonah among those sent (by Us).

إِذۡ أَبَقَ إِلَى ٱلۡفُلۡكِ ٱلۡمَشۡحُونِ

Ith abaqa ila alfulki almashhooni

When he ran away (like a slave from captivity) to the ship (fully) laden,

فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُدۡحَضِينَ

Fasahama fakana mina almudhadeena

He (agreed to) cast lots, and he was condemned:

فَٱلۡتَقَمَهُ ٱلۡحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٞ

Failtaqamahu alhootu wahuwa muleemun

Then the big Fish did swallow him, and he had done acts worthy of blame.

فَلَوۡلَآ أَنَّهُۥ كَانَ مِنَ ٱلۡمُسَبِّحِينَ

Falawla annahu kana mina almusabbiheena

Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
