Sūrat Yūnus · 10 : 98

فَلَوْلَا إِلَّا يُونُسَ لَمَّآ عَنْهُمْ فِے إِلَيٰ

If only there had been a community (of all those that were destroyed of old) that believed and profited by its belief as did the folk of Jonah! When they believed We drew off from them the torment of disgrace in the life of the world and gave them comfort for a while — Pickthall

In the printed edition: Sūrat Yūnus begins at vol. 4, p. 158 (Tūnis 2022, 10 vols.)

The āya above is Warsh ʿan Nāfiʿ, the rasm of the printed edition. The root behind each underlined word comes from a Ḥafṣ ʿan ʿĀṣim corpus, realigned to this Warsh text word by word; 125 of the 6,236 āyāt differ in word count between the two riwāyāt, and those were aligned rather than assumed. A word carries no underline where the corpus supplies no root. Lexicon entries are a reading aid and carry no page reference; the edition does not cite them. Page references elsewhere on this site follow the ten-volume Tunis 2022 printing this site was transcribed from; published scholarship on this text cites the six-volume Tunis 2010 printing, whose pagination is different.

( تَنَمَعَهَآ إِيمَنُهَا إِلَّ فَوْمَ يُونُسَ) ما خلق اللّه أمة حل بهم العذاب فآمنوا وقت حلول العذاب فنفعهم ذلك الإيمان إلا قوم يونس لَمَّا ءامَنُوا عند رؤية أمارة العذاب ولم يؤخروه إلى حلوله ( كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ الْخِزْي فِى الْحَيَوَةِ الدُّنْيِا وَمَتَّعْنَهُمْ إِلَى حِينٍ) ما وجد هذا إلا قوم يونس. يونس بن متى رسول أرسل في الموصل بالعراق، وكان ضيق الصدر، فلما وعظ قومه ولم يؤمنوا به، غضب عليهم وخرج مهاجرا قبل أن يؤذن له، وتوعدهم أنهم سيهلكون، فلما رأى قومُه أمارات العذاب رجعوا إلى اللّٰه تبارك وتعالى بالتوبة فكشف اللّٰه عنهم العذاب، فرأى يونس أنهم ما هلكوا وقد وعدهم أنهم سيهلكون بعد ثلاثة أيام، فلما مضى ثلاثة أيام ولم يهلكوا خرج عازما أنه لا يرجع إليهم بوجه كذاب، ركب في سفينة فلما توسطت السفينة البحر هاج بهم البحر حتى كادوا أن يغرقوا، فقال أهل السفينة: سفينتنا
