26.161 . When their brother Lot said unto them : Will ye not ward off ( evil ) ?

26.162 . Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you ,

26.163 . So keep your duty to Allah and obey me .

26.164 . And I ask of you no wage therefor ; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds .

26.165 . What! Of all creatures do ye come unto the males ,

26.166 . And leave the wives your Lord created for you? Nay , but ye are froward folk .

26.167 . They said : If thou cease not , O Lot , thou wilt soon be of the outcast .

26.168 . He said : I am in truth of those who hate your conduct .

26.169 . My Lord! Save me and my household from what they do .

26.170 . So We saved him and his household , every one ,

26.171 . Save an old woman among those who stayed behind .

26.172 . Then afterward We destroyed the others .

26.173 . And We rained on them a rain . And dreadful is the rain of those who have been warned .

26.174 . Lo! herein is indeed a portent , yet most of them are not believers .

26.175 . And lo! thy Lord , He is indeed the Mighty , the Merciful .

26.176 . The dwellers in the wood ( of Midian ) denied the messengers ( of Allah ) ,

26.177 . When Shueyb said unto them : Will ye not ward off ( evil ) ?

26.178 . Lo! I am a faithful messenger unto you ,

26.179 . So keep your duty to Allah and obey me .

26.180 . And I ask of you no wage for it ; my wage is the concern only of the Lord of the Worlds .
