Transliteration:( Fajtabaahu rabbuhoo faja'alahoo minas saaliheen )
62. By this is meant to grant improvement in piety, other Prophets are pious at all times. Hazrat Yunus (On whom be peace) was a Prophet in the belly of the fish as well. His Prophethood had not been revoked or cancelled. The Ulama say that going in the belly of the fish was his Mercy and the belly of that fish was more virtuous than the Divine Throne. Maulana Rumi says: My (Hazrat Yunus) status became lofty though I was in the stomach of the fish. When Allah wants to bestow His mercy He creates such excuses. In short, there are thousands of blessings in the censures of Prophets.
