And of the Shayâtin (devils from the jinn) were some who dived for
him, and did other work besides that; and it was We Who guarded them. (82) And (remember) Ayyûb
(Job), when he cried to his Lord: "Verily, distress has seized me, and You
are the Most Merciful of all those who show mercy." (83) So We answered his
call, and We removed the distress that was on him, and We restored his family
to him (that he had lost), and the like thereof along with them as a mercy from
Ourselves and a Reminder for all who worship Us. (84) And (remember)
Isma'îl (Ishmael), and Idris (Enoch) and Dhul-Kifl (Isaiah), all were from
among As-Sâbirun (the patient). (85) And We admitted them to Our Mercy. Verily,
they were of the righteous (86) And (remember) Dhun-Nûn (Jonah), when he went
off in anger, and imagined that We shall not punish him (i.e. the calamites
which had befallen him)! But he cried through the darkness (saying): Lâ ilâha
illa Anta [none has the right to be worshipped but You (O Allâh)], Glorified
(and Exalted) are You [above all that (evil) they associate with You]. Truly, I
have been of the wrong-doers." (87) So We answered his call, and delivered him
from the distress. And thus We do deliver the believers (who believe in the
Oneness of Allâh, abstain from evil and work righteousness) (88) And (remember)
Zakariyya (Zachariah), when he cried to his Lord: "O My Lord! Leave me not
single (childless), though You are the Best of the inheritors." (89) So We answered his
call, and We bestowed upon him Yahya (John), and cured his wife (to bear a
child) for him. Verily, they used to hasten on to do good deeds, and they used
to call on Us with hope and fear, and used to humble themselves before Us. (90)
