Hazrat Yunus (as) and Qarun

Mohammad Ibne Khaled has reported in his book on the authority of the Holy Prophet (SAW): “When prophet Jonah (Yunus) reached the sea where Korah (Qarun) was, Korah said to his guardian angel: What is this sound and fear I hear?  The angel said: This is Jonah whom God has imprisoned in the stomach of fish and made him go round the seven seas and end up in here.  this sound and fear is for his sake.     Korah said: do you permit me to speak to him?  The angel said: Yes.   Then Korah (Qarun) said to Jonah (AS): Why don’t you repent to your Lord?   Jonah said: Why didn’t you yourself repent to your Lord?  Korah said: I repented to Moses (AS) but he did not accept it.  However, if you repent to God, you will receive His Mercy in the first step you take.  Don’t you see how kindly He treats His servants and how He showers them with His mercy?”   Reference : Oddatud Daee
