"O Lord, You did not leave (the Prophet) Joseph hungry or thirsty, so do not leave me either" A supplication that a Turkish woman kept repeating for 5 days, which she lived under the rubble of her house, which was destroyed by the earthquake.
A video clip documented an impressive dialogue between Turkish Khadija Yargit and a paramedic inside the ambulance, after she was rescued from under the rubble in Hatay state, following the earthquake that struck southern Turkey and northern Syria at dawn on Monday.
The Turkish Minister of Health, Fakhruddin Kuja, published a video clip on his official Twitter account, saying, "The woman came out from under the rubble after about 119 hours."
Quja explained that the continuation of work to save her reached 13 hours, and he mentioned that the woman was always repeating, "O Lord, you did not leave (the Prophet) Joseph hungry or thirsty, so do not leave me either."
“Hep derdem;
Rabbim sen Hz.
Yusuf'u aç ve susuz birakmadın, beni de birakma.”
13 saat süren kurtarma süresinin sonunda 119. saatte aramızda!

The paramedic described Khadija's exit from the rubble alive as a "miracle," and said that they were on the way, where she would receive the necessary treatment.
For her part, the citizen replied to him that she prayed a lot, saying, "Lord, you did not leave Hazrat Yusuf hungry and without water, so do not leave me.. I believe in that.. Oh Lord, my daughter will be fine."
According to the website of the IHA Humanitarian Relief Foundation, "Khadija, who was pulled from the rubble during the rescue effort in Bahatay, told the health officer about her supplication under the concrete rubble."
