37. Safat · verses 133–147

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,

لَلَبِثَ فِي بَطۡنِهِۦٓ إِلَىٰ يَوۡمِ يُبۡعَثُونَ

Lalabitha fee batnihi ila yawmi yubAAathoona

He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.

۞ فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ وَهُوَ سَقِيمٞ

Fanabathnahu bialAAarai wahuwa saqeemun

But We cast him forth on the naked shore in a state of sickness,

وَأَنۢبَتۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ شَجَرَةٗ مِّن يَقۡطِينٖ

Waanbatna AAalayhi shajaratan min yaqteenin

And We caused to grow, over him, a spreading plant of the gourd kind.

وَأَرۡسَلۡنَٰهُ إِلَىٰ مِاْئَةِ أَلۡفٍ أَوۡ يَزِيدُونَ

Waarsalnahu ila miati alfin aw yazeedoona

And We sent him (on a mission) to a hundred thousand (men) or more.
