وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبٗا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٨٧
And [mention] the man of the fish [i.e., Jonah], when he went off in anger1 and thought that We would not decree [anything] upon him.2 And he called out within the darknesses,3 "There is no deity except You; exalted are You. Indeed, I have been of the wrongdoers."

Commentary on 21:87
﴿وذا النون إذ ذهب مغاضبا فظن أن لن نقدر عليه﴾: الواو استئنافية، وذا النون مفعول به لفعل محذوف تقديره: اذكر، وهو على حذف مضاف والتقدير: واذكر خبر ذي النون إذ ذهب ... إلخ، والجملة مستأنفة لا محل لها من الإعراب، وإذ ظرف للزمن الماضي متعلق بالمضاف المحذوف، وجملة ﴿ذهب﴾ في محل جر مضاف إليه، ومغاضبًا حال، أي: مغاضبا لقومه لا لربه. فظن: الفاء عاطفة، وظن معطوف على ذهب، وفاعل ظن مستتر تقديره هو، وأن مخففة من الثقيلة، واسمها ضمير الشأن، وجملة ﴿لن نقدر عليه﴾ خبرها، وجملة ﴿أن لن نقدر عليه﴾ سدت مسد مفعولي ظن.
﴿فنادى في الظلمات أن لا إله إلا أنت سبحانك إني كنت من الظالمين﴾: فنادى عطف على ظن، وفي الظلمات جار ومجرور متعلقان بمحذوف حال، و﴿أن﴾ مخففة من الثقيلة، واسمها ضمير الشأن، وجملة ﴿لا إله إلا أنت﴾ هي الخبر. أو ﴿أن﴾ تفسيرية، لأن النداء فيه معنى القول دون حروفه، والجملة بعدها تفسيرية لا محل لها من الإعراب. وسبحانك: نائب مفعول مطلق منصوب بفعل محذوف، والكاف مضاف إليه، والجملة حالية، وإني: إن حرف ناسخ، والياء اسمها، وجملة ﴿كنت من الظالمين﴾ خبر إن، و﴿من الظالمين﴾ جار ومجرور متعلقان بمحذوف خبر كنت، وجملة ﴿إني كنت ...﴾ تعليلية.

21:82
وَمِنَ ٱلشَّيَٰطِينِ مَن يَغُوصُونَ لَهُۥ وَيَعۡمَلُونَ عَمَلٗا دُونَ ذَٰلِكَۖ وَكُنَّا لَهُمۡ حَٰفِظِينَ ٨٢
And of the devils [i.e., jinn] were those who dived for him and did work other than that. And We were of them a guardian.1

۞ وَأَيُّوبَ إِذۡ نَادَىٰ رَبَّهُۥٓ أَنِّي مَسَّنِيَ ٱلضُّرُّ وَأَنتَ أَرۡحَمُ ٱلرَّٰحِمِينَ ٨٣

21:87
وَذَا ٱلنُّونِ إِذ ذَّهَبَ مُغَٰضِبٗا فَظَنَّ أَن لَّن نَّقۡدِرَ عَلَيۡهِ فَنَادَىٰ فِي ٱلظُّلُمَٰتِ أَن لَّآ إِلَٰهَ إِلَّآ أَنتَ سُبۡحَٰنَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ ٱلظَّٰلِمِينَ ٨٧

And [mention] Zechariah, when he called to his Lord, "My Lord, do not leave me alone [with no heir], while You are the best of inheritors."

فَٱسۡتَجَبۡنَا لَهُۥ وَوَهَبۡنَا لَهُۥ يَحۡيَىٰ وَأَصۡلَحۡنَا لَهُۥ زَوۡجَهُۥٓۚ إِنَّهُمۡ كَانُواْ يُسَٰرِعُونَ فِي ٱلۡخَيۡرَٰتِ وَيَدۡعُونَنَا رَغَبٗا وَرَهَبٗاۖ وَكَانُواْ لَنَا خَٰشِعِينَ ٩٠
So We responded to him, and We gave to him John, and amended for him his wife. Indeed, they used to hasten to good deeds and supplicate1 Us in hope and fear, and they were to Us humbly submissive.
