This reminds me of Prophet Yunus (Jonah)
I always felt sorry for that NabI (Prophet)
Getting swallowed by a whale for disobeying Gods command.
I also bet it stank up inside the belly of the beast.
This surah is a reminder of God’s mercy:
And verily, Jonah was among the messengers.
[Mention] when he ran away to the laden ship.
Then (to save it from sinking) he drew straws (with other passengers). He lost and was thrown overboard.
Then the whale engulfed him while he was blameworthy.
Had it not been that he (repented and) glorified Allah,
He would certainly have remained inside the Fish till the Day of Resurrection.
But We cast him onto the open (shore), (totally) worn out,
and caused a squash plant to grow over him.
We (later) sent him (back) to (his city of) at least one hundred thousand people,
And they believed, so We allowed them enjoyment for a while.
— Surah As-Saaffat 37:139
