Commentary
'So it swallowed him'; that is: it engulfed him as a morsel is engulfed. 'The fish'; that is: the well-known one; in that there is no fish larger than it; so it is as if there is no fish other than it. 'And he'; that is: while Jonah - blessings and peace be upon him - 'is blameworthy'; that is: he is included in the blame.
