| Dr Kamal Omar Then why there went not any habitation that might have Believed, (and) then her Faith might have benefited her — except the nation of Yunus. As they accepted Faith, We removed from them the torment of disgrace in the life of this world and We provided them all provisions for a while |
| Dr Laleh Bakhtiar And had there been a town that believed and profited from its belief other than the folk of Jonah? When they believed, We removed from them the punishment of degradation in this present life and gave them enjoyment for a while |
| Dr Munir Munshey Except the people of Yunus, no town benefited by their belief (after witnessing the punishment). We lifted the humiliating punishment from them in the life of this world; We had them enjoy the benefits for a while |

| Maududi Did it ever happen that the people of a town believed on seeing God`s chastisement and its believing profited them? (There is no such instance) except of the people of Yunus.
