60. This means Mercy of Allah Almighty guided Hazrat Yunus (On whom be peace) in the belly of the fish. Due to his Tasbeeh, glorification and dua made its belly a bright room and grew for him greenery until he came out of it and appointed every vomit for service (Tafseer Azizi).

Please refer to Surah Qalam ayat 48 which provides the complete commentary from verse 48 through 52.

(68:49) had his Lord not bestowed His favour upon him, he would have been cast upon that barren shore (and would have remained there) in disgrace.[34]

34. When this verse is read with (Surah As-Saaffat, Ayat 142-146), one learns that at the time the Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him) was caused to be swallowed by the fish, he was blameworthy. But when he glorified Allah and confessed his fault, although he was thrown out from the belly of the fish on a bare beach in a state of sickness, he was not blameworthy at that time. Allah by His mercy caused a creeper to grow over him so that its leaves should provide him shade and its fruit food and drink.
