    📖 Commentary of Surah As-Saffaat – Verse 147

    "And when We sent him as a Messenger towards hundreds and thousands and rather more [150]."

    ✅ [150] The Large Scale of Hazrat Yunus’s Mission

    As before, Allah sent Hazrat Yunus (peace be upon him) as a Messenger to a vast multitude, numbering in hundreds and thousands, and even more.

    This highlights the importance and grandeur of his prophetic mission, where he was tasked with guiding large communities towards monotheism and righteousness with great respect and honour from Allah.

    Ibn-Kathir

    The tafsir of Surah As-Saffat verse 147 by Ibn Kathir is unavailable here.
    Please refer to Surah Saffat ayat 139 which provides the complete commentary from verse 139 through 148.

    (37:147) and We sent him forth to a nation of a hundred thousand or more,[84]

    Ala-Maududi

    (37:147) and We sent him forth to a nation of a hundred thousand or more,[84]

    84. The mention of a hundred thousand people or more does not mean that Allah had any doubt about their number, but it means that a casual observer would have estimated the population to be more than a hundred thousand people in any case. Probably it was the same place which the Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him) had left and fled. After his departure when the people of the place saw the scourge approaching, they believed. But this was only a kind of repentance which was accepted and the scourge averted. Now, the Prophet Jonah (peace be upon him) was again sent to them so that the people should believe in him as a Prophet and become Muslims formally. To understand this, one should keep in view verse 98 of Surah Younus.

    (147) And We sent him[1306] to [his people of] a hundred thousand or more.

    [1306]- i.e., returned him thereafter.
