This paper examines Munasabah and or conceptual and contextual chaining in the Quranic stories in general and, the story of Jonah, in particular. First, it is said that whether there is a relation among the (omitted)verses with themselves on one side, (omitted)and among the (omitted)suras, on the other. Then, having reviewed the background of Elm-al Munasebah in Islamic tradition, the conceptual and contextual chaining is introduced: "A linguistic mechanism that is concerned with the construction of texts, their textuality and their network of semantic relations". This kind of chaining, then, is examined in Jonahʹs story. Being interapolated in other stories, the story has some correspondence with other six stories with regard to conceptual chaining. Finally, it is said that through some items such as punning as well as the repetition of some concepts such as patience and supplication, we can (omitted)find the internal relation not only (omitted) between Jonahʹs story and the other Quranic stories, but also (and)more importantly, between these stories and the story of the Prophet Mohammad (Pbuh) (omitted)himself with regard to conceptual and and contextual chaining.
