Misjudgement by a male Whale saves life of Yunus alahissalam

وَإِنَّ يُونُسَ لَمِنَ الْمُرْسَلِينَ (139) إِذْ أَبَقَ إِلَى الْفُلْكِ الْمَشْحُونِ (140 فَسَاهَمَ فَكَانَ مِنَ الْمُدْحَضِينَ (141) فَالْتَقَمَهُ الْحُوتُ وَهُوَ مُلِيمٌ (142

Know the fact that Yunus [alai'his'slaam] was performing the assignment as one of the sent Messengers at the point in time when [on assessing complete unresponsiveness] he ran, after walking away from his nation in the state/grip of heightened feeling of anger/heavy heartedness, towards the already embarked/Laden Ship, ready to sail. [37:139-140]. Thereat/for reason-cause, he made himself weak/dehydrated/haggard [by heightened feeling of anger and running]. Thereupon, he was in the state of slipped ones/loosing hold of feet falling into the sea. [37:141] Thereat, for reason of having slipped and fallen in Sea, the male Whale made effort and swallowed him whole, while he was in sluggish state awaiting and expecting help for rescue. [37:142]
