Dua of Yunus English Transliteration

Laa 'ilaaha 'illaa 'Anta sub’haanaka 'innee kuntu minadh-dhaalimeen

Dua of Yunus English Translation

There is none worthy of worship but You, glory is to You. Surely, I was among the wrongdoers.

Sa'd ibn Abi Waqqas (RA) said, the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, “The supplication of Dhun-Nun (Prophet Yunus As) when he supplicated, while in the belly of the whale was: (The Dua is mentioned above)’ So indeed, no Muslim man supplicates with it for anything, ever, except Allah responds to him.”

Hadith about the Dua

Arabic Text

عَنْ سَعْدٍ قَالَ دَعْوَةُ ذِي النُّونِ إِذْ دَعَا وَهُوَ فِي بَطْنِ الْحُوتِ ‏"‏ لاَ إِلَهَ إِلاَّ أَنْتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنْتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ ‏"‏ فَإِنَّهُ لَمْ يَدْعُ بِهَا رَجُلٌ مُسْلِمٌ فِي شَيْءٍ قَطُّ إِلاَّ اسْتَجَابَ اللَّهُ لَهُ ‏.‏

Translation

Sa’d reported: The supplication of Dhu al-Nun (Prophet Yunus) when he supplicated while he was in the belly of the fish was, “There is none worthy of worship except You, glory is to You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers.” No Muslim ever supplicates with it for anything, except that Allah will answer him.
