Hazrat  Yunus and whale 

Blue whale

 

Hazrat Yunus bin Matta(A.S), was sent by Allah to the people of Nineveh, which was a town in the area of Mawsil in northern Iraq. He called them to Allah, but they rejected him and persisted in their disbelief. So he left them in anger, threatening them with punishment after three day .
 When they realized that he was telling the truth and that a Prophet never lies, they went out to the desert with their children and cattle and flocks. They separated the mothers from their children, then they beseeched Allah and pleaded to Him, with the camels and their young groaning, the cows and their calves mooing, and the sheep and their lambs bleating, so Allah spared them from the punishment.
Hazrat Yunus, meanwhile, went and traveled with some people on a ship, which was tossed about on the sea. The people were afraid that they would drown, so they cast lots to choose a man whom they would throw overboard. The lot fell to Yunus, but they refused to throw him overboard. This happened a second and a third time.
So Yunus stood up, removed his garment and cast himself into the sea.
 Then Allah sent from the Green Sea a large fish 

 which cleaved the oceans until it came and swallowed Yunus when he threw himself into the sea. Allah inspired that large fish (whale)
not to devour his flesh or break his bones, as if He said Yunus is not food for you, rather your belly is a prison for him.
But he cried through the depths of darkness saying: "There is no God but You, Glorified be You! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers. This was because the fish took him through the sea, cleaving it until it reached the bottom of the sea. Yunus heard the rocks at the bottom of the sea uttering glorification of Allah, at which point he said:

Prayer of Hazrat Yunus

“There is no God but You, Glorified be You! Truly, I have been of the wrongdoers'' 
 
When Yunus found himself in the belly of the fish, he thought that he had died. Then he moved his legs. When he moved his legs, he prostrated where he was, then he called out: `O Lord, I have taken a place of worship to You in a place which no other person has reached.''
Allah answered his call and brought him forth from the belly of the fish and from that darkness.
