and [the servant] said, ‘Remember when we were resting by the rock? I forgot the fish- Satan made me forget to pay attention to it- and it [must have] made its way into the sea.’ ‘How strange!’

قال له خادمه: أتذكر حين لجأنا إلى الصخرة التي استرحنا عندها؟ فإني نسيت أن أخبرك ما كان من الحوت، وما أنساني أن أذكر ذلك لك إلا الشيطان، فإن الحوت الميت دبَّتْ فيه الحياة، وقفز في البحر، واتخذ له فيه طريقًا، وكان أمره مما يُعْجَبُ منه.
