فَاصْبِرْ لِحُكْمِ رَبِّكَ وَلَا تَكُن كَصَاحِبِ الْحُوتِ إِذْ نَادَىٰ وَهُوَ مَكْظُومٌ
Then be patient for the decision of your Lord, [O Muhammad], and be not like the companion of the fish when he called out while he was distressed.

If not that a favor from his Lord overtook him, he would have been thrown onto the naked shore while he was censured.

And his Lord chose him and made him of the righteous.

But it is not except a reminder to the worlds.
