And his people when they became aware of them came to him running hastening towards him — and previously before they came they had been committing abominations namely penetrative sexual intercourse with men. He Lot said ‘O my people! Here are my daughters marry with them; they are purer for you. So fear God and do not degrade me do not disgrace me before my guests. Is there not among you any upright man?’ to enjoin decency and forbid indecency?
- 11:7878
وَجَاءَهُ قَوْمُهُ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ قَالَ يَا قَوْمِ هَٰؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِي ضَيْفِي ۖ أَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ
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?"
