51 And tell them about the guests (the angels) of Ibrahim (Abraham).
52 When they entered unto him, and said: Salaman (peace)! (Ibrahim (Abraham)) said: "Indeed! We are afraid of you."
53 They (the angels) said: "Do not be afraid! We give you glad tidings of a boy (son) possessing much knowledge and wisdom."
54 (Ibrahim (Abraham)) said: "Do you give me glad tidings (of a son) when old age has overtaken me? Of what then is your news?"
55 They (the angels) said: "We give you glad tidings in truth. So be not of the despairing ones."
56 (Ibrahim (Abraham)) said: "And who despairs of the Mercy of his Lord except those who are astray?"
57 (Ibrahim (Abraham) again) said: "What then is the business on which you have come, O Messengers?"
58 They (the angels) said: "We have been sent to a people who are Mujrimoon (criminals, disbelievers, polytheists, sinners).
59 "(All) except the family of Lout (Lot). Them all we are surely going to save (from destruction).
60 "Except his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind (i.e. she will be destroyed)."
61 Then, when the Messengers (the angels) came unto the family of Lout (Lot).
62 He said: "Verily! You are people unknown to me."
63 They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting.
64 "And we have brought to you the truth (the news of the destruction of your nation) and certainly, we tell the truth.
65 "Then travel in a part of the night with your family, and you go behind them in the rear, and let no one amongst you look back, but go on to where you are ordered."
66 And We made known this decree to him, that the root of those (sinners) was to be cut off in the early morning.
67 And the inhabitants of the city came rejoicing (at the news of the young mens arrival).
68 (Lout (Lot)) said: "Verily! these are my guests, so shame me not.
69 "And fear Allah and disgrace me not."
70 They (people of the city) said: "Did we not forbid you to entertain (or protect) any of the Alameen (people, foreigners, strangers, etc. from us)?"
71 (Lout (Lot)) said: "These (the girls of the nation) are my daughters (to marry lawfully), if you must act (so)."
72 Verily, by your life (O Muhammad SAW), in their wild intoxication, they were wandering blindly.
73 So As-Saeehah (torment - awful cry, etc.) overtook them at the time of sunrise;
74 And We turned (the towns of Sodom in Palestine) upside down and rained down on them stones of baked clay.
75 Surely! In this are signs, for those who see (or understand or learn the lessons from the Signs of Allah).
