021.087 Y:  And remember Zun-nun, when he departed in wrath:  He imagined that We had no power over him!  But he cried through the depths of darkness, “There is no god but Thou:  glory to Thee:  I was indeed wrong!”

P:  And (mention) Dhu’n-Nun, when he went off in anger and deemed that We had no power over him, but he cried out in the darkness, saying:  There is no God save Thee.  Be Thou Glorified!  Lo!  I have been a wrong-doer.

S:  And Yunus, when he went away in wrath, so he thought that We would not straiten him, so he called out among afflictions:  There is no god but Thou, glory be to Thee; surely I am of those who make themselves to suffer loss.

021.090 Y:  So We listened to him:  and We granted him Yahya:  We cured his wife’s (Barrenness) for him.  These (three) were ever quick in emulation in good works; they used to call on Us with love and reverence, and humble themselves before Us.

P:  Then We heard his prayer, and bestowed upon him John, and adjusted his wife (to bear a child) for him.  Lo! they used to vie one with the other in good deeds, and they cried unto Us in longing and in fear, and were submissive unto Us.

S:  So We responded to him and gave him Yahya and made his wife fit for him; surely they used to hasten, one with another, in deeds of goodness and to call upon Us, hoping and fearing; and they were humble before Us.

021.091 Y:  And (remember) her who guarded her chastity:  We breathed into her of Our spirit, and We made her and her son a sign for all peoples.
