فَلَمَّا جَاۤءَ اٰلَ لُوْطِ ِۨالْمُرْسَلُوْنَۙ ( الحجر: ٦١ )
And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
قَالَ اِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنْكَرُوْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٢ )
He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."
قَالُوْا بَلْ جِئْنٰكَ بِمَا كَانُوْا فِيْهِ يَمْتَرُوْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٣ )
They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing,
وَاَتَيْنٰكَ بِالْحَقِّ وَاِنَّا لَصٰدِقُوْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٤ )
And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.
فَاَسْرِ بِاَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ الَّيْلِ وَاتَّبِعْ اَدْبَارَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ اَحَدٌ وَّامْضُوْا حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُوْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٥ )
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."
وَقَضَيْنَآ اِلَيْهِ ذٰلِكَ الْاَمْرَ اَنَّ دَابِرَ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ مَقْطُوْعٌ مُّصْبِحِيْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٦ )
And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning.
وَجَاۤءَ اَهْلُ الْمَدِيْنَةِ يَسْتَبْشِرُوْنَ ( الحجر: ٦٧ )
And the people of the city came rejoicing.
قَالَ اِنَّ هٰٓؤُلَاۤءِ ضَيْفِيْ فَلَا تَفْضَحُوْنِۙ ( الحجر: ٦٨ )
[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me.
وَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ ( الحجر: ٦٩ )
And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."
قَالُوْٓا اَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ الْعٰلَمِيْنَ ( الحجر: ٧٠ )
They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?"
