34 – Ibrāhīm ibn Rāshid narrated to me; he said: Dāwūd ibn Mihrān narrated to me, from al-Walīd ibn Muslim, from Marwān ibn Junāḥ, from Yūnus ibn Maysarah ibn Ḥalbas, who said:

Qārūn met Jonah — peace be upon him — amid the darkness of the sea. Qārūn called out to Jonah, ⦗49⦘ saying, “O Jonah, repent to Allah, for you will find Him at the very first step by which you return to Him.”

Jonah asked, “What kept you from repenting?” He replied, “My repentance was placed in the hands of my cousin, and he refused to accept it from me.”
