| Abdel Haleem If only a single town had believed and benefited from its belief! Only Jonah’s people did so, and when they believed, We relieved them of the punishment of disgrace in the life of this world, and let them enjoy life for a time |

| Abdullah Yusuf Ali Why was there not a single township (among those We warned), which believed,- so its faith should have profited it,- except the people of Jonah?
