(15:58) They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals, (15:59) Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all (15:60) Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind. (15:61) And when the messengers came to the family of Lot, (15:62) He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown." (15:63) They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, (15:64) And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. (15:65) So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded." (15:66) And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning. (15:67) And the people of the city came rejoicing. (15:68) [Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. (15:69) And fear Allah and do not disgrace me." (15:70) They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" (15:71) [Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]." (15:72) By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. (15:73) So the shriek seized them at sunrise. (15:74) And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. (15:75) Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. (15:76) And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road.
