And his people came rushing towards him, and they had been long in the habit of practising abominations. He said: "O my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)!

11:81	(The messengers) said: O Lot! Lo! we are messengers of thy Lord; they shall not reach thee. So travel with thy people in a part of the night, and let not one of you turn round - (all) save thy wife. Lo! that which smiteth them will smite her (also). Lo! their tryst is (for) the morning. Is not the morning nigh ?	(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel with thy family while yet a part of the night remains, and let not any of you look back: but thy wife (will remain behind): To her will happen what happens to the people. Morning is their time appointed: Is not the morning nigh?"	قَالوا يَلوطُ انَّا رسُل ربِّكَ لنْ يَصِلوا اليْكَ فَاسْر بِاهْلكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِنْ اليْل وَلا يَلتَفِتْ مِنْكُمْ احَدٌ الا امْراتَكَ انَّهُ مُصِيبُهَا مَا اصَابَهُمْ انَّ مَوْعِدَهُمْ الصُّبْحُ اليْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَريبٍ
