وَ امْرَاَتُهٗ قَآىِٕمَةٌ فَضَحِكَتْ فَبَشَّرْنٰهَا بِاِسْحٰقَ ۙ وَ مِنْ وَّرَآءِ اِسْحٰقَ یَعْقُوْبَ۝۷۱

His wife who stood near, laughed as We gave her the good news of Isaac, and after Isaac of Jacob.

قَالَتْ یٰوَیْلَتٰۤی ءَاَلِدُ وَ اَنَا عَجُوْزٌ وَّ هٰذَا بَعْلِیْ شَیْخًا ؕ اِنَّ هٰذَا لَشَیْءٌ عَجِیْبٌ۝۷۲

She said: "Woe betide me! Will I give birth when I am old and this my husband be aged? This is indeed surprising!"

قَالُوْۤا اَتَعْجَبِیْنَ مِنْ اَمْرِ اللّٰهِ رَحْمَتُ اللّٰهِ وَ بَرَكٰتُهٗ عَلَیْكُمْ اَهْلَ الْبَیْتِ ؕ اِنَّهٗ حَمِیْدٌ مَّجِیْدٌ۝۷۳

"Why are you surprised at the command of God? God´s mercy and blessings be upon you, O members of this household," they said. "Verily He is worthy of praise and glory."

فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ الرَّوْعُ وَ جَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرٰی یُجَادِلُنَا فِیْ قَوْمِ لُوْطٍؕ۝۷۴

When Abraham´s fear was dispelled, and the good news had come to him, he pleaded for the people of Lot with Us.

اِنَّ اِبْرٰهِیْمَ لَحَلِیْمٌ اَوَّاهٌ مُّنِیْبٌ۝۷۵

Abraham was kind, compassionate, and penitent.

یٰۤاِبْرٰهِیْمُ اَعْرِضْ عَنْ هٰذَا ۚ اِنَّهٗ قَدْ جَآءَ اَمْرُ رَبِّكَ ۚ وَ اِنَّهُمْ اٰتِیْهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَیْرُ مَرْدُوْدٍ۝۷۶

"Desist from pleading, O Abraham," (they said). "Your Lord´s command has verily been issued, and a punishment that cannot be averted is bound to fall on them."

وَ لَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوْطًا سِیْٓءَ بِهِمْ وَ ضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَّ قَالَ هٰذَا یَوْمٌ عَصِیْبٌ۝۷۷

So when Our angels came to Lot, he grieved for them, and felt powerless to help them, and said: "This is a day of sorrow.

وَ جَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ یُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ ؕ وَ مِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِیْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَ لَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِیْ ضَیْفِیْ ؕ اَلَیْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِیْدٌ۝۷۸

His people came excited to him. They were addicted to sin already. Said (Lot): "O my people, these daughters of mine are cleaner (and lawful) for you. Have fear of God, and do not shame me before my guests. Is there no man of discernment among you?"

قَالُوْا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِیْ بَنٰتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ ۚ وَ اِنَّكَ لَتَعْلَمُ مَا نُرِیْدُ۝۷۹

They said: "You know we have no need for your daughters, and know well what we want."

قَالَ لَوْ اَنَّ لِیْ بِكُمْ قُوَّةً اَوْ اٰوِیْۤ اِلٰی رُكْنٍ شَدِیْدٍ۝۸۰

"I wish I had the power to resist you," said (Lot), "or powerful support."
