And when the messengers came to the family of Lot, ^[61]

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown." ^[62]

They said, "But we have come to you with that about which they were disputing, ^[63]

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful. ^[64]

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." ^[65]

And We conveyed to him [the decree] of that matter: that those [sinners] would be eliminated by early morning. ^[66]

And the people of the city came rejoicing. ^[67]

[Lot] said, "Indeed, these are my guests, so do not shame me. ^[68]

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me." ^[69]

They said, "Have we not forbidden you from [protecting] people?" ^[70]

[Lot] said, "These are my daughters - if you would be doers [of lawful marriage]." ^[71]

By your life, [O Muhammad], indeed they were, in their intoxication, wandering blindly. ^[72]

So the shriek seized them at sunrise. ^[73]

And We made the highest part [of the city] its lowest and rained upon them stones of hard clay. ^[74]

Indeed in that are signs for those who discern. ^[75]

And indeed, those cities are [situated] on an established road. ^[76]

Indeed in that is a sign for the believers. ^[77]

And the companions of the thicket were [also] wrongdoers. ^[78]

So We took retribution from them, and indeed, both [cities] are on a clear highway. ^[79]

And certainly did the companions of Thamud deny the messengers. ^[80]
