And the most iniquitous among his people came rushing to Lot. (They wanted the visiting Messengers to approve their behavior.) Lot said, “O My people! Your wives, who are like my daughters, are permitted for you. Be mindful of God, and do not humiliate me in the presence of my guests. Is there not a single upright man among you?”

They said, “You know, we have little interest in our wives whom you call your daughters. You know well what we want.” [Our intention is to get our behavior made permissible]

They (the visiting Messengers) said, “O Lot! We are Messengers of your Lord. They will not catch up to you. Now take your family while it is yet night. And let none of you look back, except your wife (who will stay behind). What is to befall these (people) shall befall her. Their appointed time is the morning. Is not the morning near? [She stays behind because she has chosen to silently accept the trends of the times]

The stones were marked arrows from your Lord. His requital is never far from those who choose to do wrong.
