[Machine] Indeed, the punishment descended upon the people of Yunus (Jonah) ﷺ , and it hovered over their heads like pieces of thick darkness. So those with intellect among them went to one of their remaining scholars and said, "Indeed, something has befallen us that you can see, so teach us a supplication that we can invoke, perhaps Allah will lift His punishment from us." He said, "Say: O Ever-Living, O Sustainer of existence, O Living, O Eternal, there is no deity except You." He said, "So Allah lifted His punishment from them."  

إِنَّ الْعَذَابَ لَمَّا هَبَطَ عَلَى قَوْمِ يُونُسَ عَلَيْهِ السَّلَامُ فَجَعَلَ يَحُومُ عَلَى رُءُوسِهِمْ مِثْلَ قِطَعِ اللَّيْلِ الْمُظْلِمِ فَمَشَى ذَوُو الْعُقُولِ مِنْهُمْ إِلَى شَيْخٍ مِنْ بَقِيَّةِ عُلَمَائِهِمْ فَقَالُوا إِنَّا قَدْ نَزَلَ بِنَا مَا تَرَى فَعَلِّمْنَا دُعَاءً نَدْعُو بِهِ عَسَى اللَّهُ ﷻ أَنْ يَرْفَعَ عَنَّا عُقُوبَتَهُ قَالَ فَقُولُوا يَا حَيُّ حِينَ لَا حَيَّ وَيَا حَيُّ مُحْيِي الْمَوْتَى وَيَا حَيُّ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا أَنْتَ قَالَ «فَكَشَفَ اللَّهُ ﷻ عَنْهُمْ»
