The Holy Quran 10:98 — Surah Yunus

Arabic text

فَلَوْلَا كَانَتْ قَرْيَةٌ ءَامَنَتْ فَنَفَعَهَآ إِيمَـٰنُهَآ إِلَّا قَوْمَ يُونُسَ لَمَّآ ءَامَنُوا۟ كَشَفْنَا عَنْهُمْ عَذَابَ ٱلْخِزْىِ فِى ٱلْحَيَوٰةِ ٱلدُّنْيَا وَمَتَّعْنَـٰهُمْ إِلَىٰ حِينٍ

Translation

There has been no nation who accepted Imaan (just before Allaah's punishment struck them), then their Imaan profited them (because they were saved from Allaah's punishment), except the nation of Yunus عليه الصلاة والسلام. When they accepted Imaan, We turned away from them a punishment of disgrace in this worldly life and We granted them enjoyment for a while (for as long as they lived afterwards).

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The people of Yunus ﵇ come to believe: that is, of all the towns that became deserving of punishment because of denying the prophets and their mischief, none had the chance to believe in such a way as would save them from Allah’s punishment.
