Surah Al Hijr

Saheeh International

When they entered upon him and said, "Peace." [Abraham] said, "Indeed, we are fearful of you."

Saheeh International

[The angels] said, "Fear not. Indeed, we give you good tidings of a learned boy."

Saheeh International

He said, "Have you given me good tidings although old age has come upon me? Then of what [wonder] do you inform?"

Saheeh International

They said, "We have given you good tidings in truth, so do not be of the despairing."

Saheeh International

He said, "And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord except for those astray?"

Saheeh International

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

Saheeh International

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals,

Saheeh International

Except the family of Lot; indeed, we will save them all

Saheeh International

Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind.

Saheeh International

And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,

Saheeh International

He said, "Indeed, you are people unknown."

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

And we have come to you with truth, and indeed, we are truthful.

Saheeh International

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."

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

And the people of the city came rejoicing.

Saheeh International

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

Saheeh International

And fear Allah and do not disgrace me."

Saheeh International

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