ENGLISH TRANSLATION
As for Younus, peace be upon him, he left and rode a ship along with a
group. The ship started to incline with them and they were afraid that they
would drown. They drew lot to throw one person into the sea in order to make
the ship lighter and prevent it from turning over. The lot fell upon Younus,
peace be upon him. They refused to throw him. They drew the lot again and once
again it fell upon Younus, peace be upon him. They refused and drew the lot
again and this time as well it fell upon him.
Allah SWT said:
Then he participated in casting the lot and he was among the rejected.
Younus, peace be upon him, stood up and removed (some of) his clothes. He then
jumped into the sea. Allah SWT sent a big fish that came piercing the sea and
swallowed Younus, peace be upon him, as he threw himself from the ship. Allah
SWT inspired to that fish not to eat his flesh or to shatter his bones.
