The ninth-century Persian historian Al-Tabari records that, while Jonah was inside the fish, "none of his bones or members were injured".[14] Al-Tabari also writes that Allah made the body of the fish transparent, allowing Yunus to see the "wonders of the deep"[15] and that Yunus heard all the fish singing praises to Allah.[15] Kisai Marvazi, a tenth-century poet, records that Yunus' father was seventy years old when Yunus was born[14] and that he died soon afterwards,[14] leaving Yunus' mother with nothing but a wooden spoon, which turned out to be a cornucopia.[14]
