Ash-Shu'ara Page 374 كَذَّبَتْ Denied قَوْمُ (the) people لُوْطِ (of) Lut لْمُرْسَلِیْنَۚۖ the Messengers اِذْ When قَالَ said لَهُمْ to them اَخُوْهُمْ their brother لُوْطٌ Lut اَلَا Will not تَتَّقُوْنَۚ you fear (Allah) اِنِّیْ Indeed I am لَكُمْ to you رَسُوْلٌ a Messenger اَمِیْنٌۙ trustworthy فَاتَّقُوا So fear اللّٰهَ Allah وَ اَطِیْعُوْنِۚ and obey me وَ مَاۤ And not اَسْـَٔلُكُمْ I ask you عَلَیْهِ for it مِنْ any اَجْرٍ ۚ payment اِنْ Not اَجْرِیَ (is) my payment اِلَّا except عَلٰی from رَبِّ (the) Lord الْعٰلَمِیْنَؕ (of) the worlds اَتَاْتُوْنَ Do you approach الذُّكْرَانَ the males مِنَ among الْعٰلَمِیْنَۙ the worlds وَ تَذَرُوْنَ And you leave مَا what خَلَقَ created لَكُمْ for you رَبُّكُمْ your Lord مِّنْ of اَزْوَاجِكُمْ ؕ your mates بَلْ Nay اَنْتُمْ you قَوْمٌ (are) a people عٰدُوْنَ transgressing قَالُوْا They said لَىِٕنْ If لَّمْ not تَنْتَهِ you desist یٰلُوْطُ O Lut! لَتَكُوْنَنَّ Surely you will be مِنَ of الْمُخْرَجِیْنَ the ones driven out قَالَ He said اِنِّیْ Indeed I am لِعَمَلِكُمْ (of) your deed مِّنَ of الْقَالِیْنَؕ those who detest رَبِّ My Lord! نَجِّنِیْ Save me وَ اَهْلِیْ and my family مِمَّا from what یَعْمَلُوْنَ they do فَنَجَّیْنٰهُ So We saved him وَ اَهْلَهٗۤ and his family اَجْمَعِیْنَۙ all اِلَّا Except عَجُوْزًا an old woman فِی (was) among الْغٰبِرِیْنَۚ those who remained behind ثُمَّ Then دَمَّرْنَا We destroyed الْاٰخَرِیْنَۚ the others وَ اَمْطَرْنَا And We rained عَلَیْهِمْ upon them مَّطَرًا ۚ a rain فَسَآءَ and evil was مَطَرُ (was) the rain الْمُنْذَرِیْنَ (on) those who were warned اِنَّ Indeed فِیْ in ذٰلِكَ that لَاٰیَةً ؕ surely is a sign وَ مَا but not كَانَ are اَكْثَرُهُمْ most of them مُّؤْمِنِیْنَ believers وَ اِنَّ And indeed رَبَّكَ your Lord لَهُوَ surely He الْعَزِیْزُ (is) the All-Mighty الرَّحِیْمُ۠ the Most Merciful
(26:160) The people of Lut rejected the Messengers.
(26:161) When their brother Lut said to them, ‘Will you not fear?
(26:162) Verily, I am to you a trustworthy Messenger.
(26:163) Therefore, fear Allah and follow me.
(26:164) I do not ask you any wage for it. My wage falls only upon the Lord of the worlds.
(26:165) Of all (people) do you approach males of the world121
(26:166) And leave what your Lord created for you of your mates.122 Nay, you are a people transgressing (all limits).’
(26:167) They said, ‘If you desist not O Lut, you shall be of those driven out.’123
(26:168) He said, ‘I am indeed a detester of your deed.’124
(26:169) ‘My Lord! Deliver me and my family from the things they do.’
(26:170) So we delivered him and his family all together.
(26:171) Except for an old woman – among those who lingered.125
(26:172) Then We destroyed the others.
(26:173) And showered upon them a shower. So, evil was the shower of those that were warned.
(26:174) Surely, in that is a sign. But most of them were not to be believers.
(26:175) Surely, your Lord - He indeed is the All-mighty, the All-compassionate.
121. The textual construction offers two possible meanings. One, “Of the people of the world, you are the only ones to commit this crime;” two, “you have opted for the males of the world to commit this crime” (Razi).
122. Mujahid said that the implication hidden in the words as in the Qur’an (lit., “do you leave that of your women which your Lord created for you”) is that the nation of Lut sodomized their women also (Ibn Jarir, Zamakhshari, Razi).
123. Majid quotes, “Banishment … is the punishment of expelling an offender from his native land … the easiest way, short of summary execution, to rid the state of an evil-doer was to expel him from its boundaries. We find the recurrence of this in the record of all nations.” (ERE. II. p. 346).
But Yusuf Ali has another view. He writes, “Their threat to cast him out has a grim significance in what actually happened. They were destroyed where they were, and he was glad to escape the dreadful Punishment according to the warning he had received.”
124. "He was only among them from a stem sense of duty. The whole atmosphere there was detestable to him, and he was glad to escape when duty no longer demanded his presence there. He prayed for deliverance from such surroundings" (Yusuf Ali).
125. Another possible meaning, as said by Shawkani, is: “of those who remained in the punishment.”
Asad explains: “… the old woman was Lot’s wife – a native of Sodom – who chose to remain with her own people instead of accompanying her husband, whom she thus betrayed (cf. also 66: 10).”
