88. 1. We accepted the supplication of Yunus (علیہ السلام) and saved him from the darkness and from the belly of the fish, and whoever among the believers calls upon Us in this way during hardships and calamities, We will save him. It is mentioned in the hadith that the Prophet ﷺ said: "Any Muslim who supplicates with this supplication for any matter, Allah will accept it."
