At-Tirmidhī related it thus from Sa‘d, and said: “Sa‘d
reported that the Messenger of Allah
said: ‘The supplication of Dhū an-Nūn when he supplicated to his Lord while in the belly of the fish was: There is no god but You. Glory to You; indeed, I have been one of those who do wrong. [10].No Muslim man ever supplicates with it without Allah answering him.’”
