Tafseer
'Abdullāh Ibn 'Abbās / Muḥammad al-Fīrūzabādī
تفسير : (but the answer of his folk was naught save that they said: expel the household of lot) lot and his two daughters: za'ura and raytha (from your township) sodom, (for they (forsooth) are folk who would keep clean) they exonerate themselves from sodomy!
Jalāl al-Dīn al-Maḥallī
تفسير : but the only response of his people was that they said, ‘expel lot’s family from your town. they are indeed a folk who [prefer to] remain pure!’, from [coming unto] the rears of men.
