( إنا منزلون ) قرأ ابن عامر بالتشديد ، وقرأ الآخرون بالتخفيف ( على أهل هذه القرية رجزا ) عذابا ) ( من السماء ) قال مقاتل : الخسف والحصب ( بما كانوا يفسقون )
I will send a punishment from the sky down on the people of this town that used to do obscene acts, which is stones of baked clay, as a punishment for their leaving out following Allah by the perpetration of that evil and immoral act, which was satisfaction of lust with men instead of women.
