( قال ) إبراهيم للرسل : ( إن فيها لوطا قالوا ) يعني : قالت الملائكة ( نحن أعلم بمن فيها لننجينه ) قرأ حمزة والكسائي ويعقوب : " ) ( لننجينه ) بالتخفيف ، وقرأ الباقون بالتشديد ( وأهله إلا امرأته كانت من الغابرين ) أي : الباقين في العذاب .
Abraham (peace be upon him) said to the angels: But Lot is in that town whose people you wish to destroy and he is not one of the wrongdoers. The angels said: I know very well who is there. I will save him and his household from the destruction that will be sent down on the people of the town, except for his wife. She will be one of those who will be left behind, and we will destroy her with the rest of them.
