Prophet Yunus (Jonah) called upon Allah (swt) in anguish from beneath 3 darknesses (the darkness of the belly of the whale, the darkness of the ocean, and the darkness of the night), a supplication whose urgency and sincerity caused the angels to weep:
لَّا إِلَـٰهَ إِلَّا أَنتَ سُبْحَانَكَ إِنِّي كُنتُ مِنَ الظَّالِمِينَ
"None has the right to be worshipped but You (O, Allah), Glorified (and Exalted) be You; truly, I have been of the wrong-doers."
To this day, as an honour to prophet Yunus (peace be upon him), Muslims make this du'aa in times of distress and hardship.
