ٱلصَّافَّات : ١٤٥

  • فَنَبَذۡنَٰهُ But We cast him
  • بِٱلۡعَرَآءِ onto the open shore
  • وَهُوَ while he
  • سَقِيمٞ (was) ill
But We threw him onto the open shore while he was ill.
Then We cast him, We flung him out of the belly of the whale, onto the barren land, onto the face of the earth, that is, onto the shore on that same day - or three, or seven, or twenty, or forty days later - and he was sick, ailing like a [newly-born] featherless chick.
