Tafsir Commentary

Tafsir al-Jalalayn
So We brought forth those in them that is in the towns of the people of Lot who were believers in order to destroy the disbelievers;
Tafsir Muyassar
فأخرجنا مَن كان في قرية قوم لوط من أهل الإيمان.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir
وقال تعالى ههنا "فأخرجنا من كان فيها من المؤمنين" وهم لوط وأهل بيته إلا امرأته.
Tafsir Al Wasit
والفاء فى قوله - تعالى - بعد ذلك : ( فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ المؤمنين فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ المسلمين ) هى الفصيحة ، لأنها قد أفصحت عن كلام محذوف .والمعنى : ففارق الملائكة إبراهيم ذاهبين إلى قوم لوط لإهلاكهم وجرى بينهم وبين لوط - عليه السلام - ما جرى ثم أخذوا فى تنفيذ ما كلفناهم به ، فأخرجنا - بفضلنا ورحمتنا - من كان فى قرية لوط من المؤمنين دون أن يمسهم عذابنا .ووصف - سبحانه - الناجين من العذاب - وهم لوط وأهل بيته إلا امرأته - بصفتى الإيمان والإسلام ، على سبيل المدح لهم ، أى : أنهم كانوا مصدقين بقلوبهم ، ومنقادين لأحكام الله - تعالى - بجوارحهم .
Tafsir al-Tabari
( فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ) يقول تعالى ذكره: فأخرجنا من كان في قرية سدوم, قرية قوم لوط من أهل الإيمان بالله وهم لوط وابنتاه, وكنى عن القرية بقوله ( مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا ) ولم يجر لها ذلك قبل ذلك.
Tafseer Al-Baghawi
( فأخرجنا من كان فيها ) أي : في قرى قوم لوط ( من المؤمنين ) وذلك قوله : " فأسر بأهلك بقطع من الليل " ( هود - 81 ) .
Tafseer Tanwir al-Miqbas
فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (35(هذه الجملة ليست من حكاية كلام الملائكة بل هي تذييل لقصة محاورة الملائكة مع إبراهيم ، والفاء في { فأخرجنا } فصيحة لأنها تفصح عن كلام مقدر هو ما ذُكر في سورة هود من مجيء الملائكة إلى لوط وما حدث بينه وبين قومه ، فالتقدير : فحَلُّوا بقرية لوط فأمرناهم بإخراج من كان فيها من المؤمنين فأخرجوهم . وضمير «أخرجنا» ضمير عظمة الجلالة .وإسناد الإِخراج إلى الله لأنه أمر به الملائكة أن يبلغوه لوطاً ، ولأن الله يسّر إخراج المؤمنين ونجاتهم إذْ أخّر نزول الحجارة إلى أن خرج المؤمنون وهم لوط وأهله إلا امرأته .وعبر عنهم ب { المؤمنين } للإِشارة إلى أن إيمانهم هو سبب نجاتهم ، أي إيمانهم بلوط . والتعبير عنه ب { المسلمين } لأنهم آل نبيء وإيمان الأنبياء إِسلام قال تعالى : { ووصى بها إبراهيم بنيه ويعقوب يا بنيّ إن اللَّه اصطفى لكم الدين فلا تموتن إلا وأنتم مسلمون } [ البقرة : 132 ] .وضمير { فيها } عائد إلى القرية ولم يتقدم لها ذكر لكونها معلومة من آيات أخرى كقوله : { ولقد أتوا على القرية التي أمطرت مطر السوء } [ الفرقان : 40 ] .
Tafseer Al Saddi
{ فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَنْ كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ } وهم بيت لوط عليه السلام، إلا امرأته، فإنها من المهلكين.
Tafseer Al Qurtubi
أي لما أردنا إهلاك قوم لوط أخرجنا من كان في قومه من المؤمنين ; لئلا يهلك المؤمنون , وذلك قوله تعالى : " فأسر بأهلك " [ هود : 81 ] .
Tazkirul Quran
At that time Abraham was in Palestine. Nearby, around the Dead Sea there were the townships of Sodom and Gomorrah in which the contemporaries of Lot were settled. In spite of Lot’s preaching for a long time, they were not ready to give up a life vitiated by forgetfulness of God. So, at God’s behest, Lot and his companions departed. Then, the aforesaid angels destroyed the entire community by an earthquake, stormy winds and showers of pebbles. The community of Lot was destroyed two thousand years ago, but their devastated habitat (south of the Dead Sea) exists even today to teach a lesson to those who have the inclination to learn from events.
Ma'arif-ul-Quran
Small pebbles of baked clay would be sent down upon them: مُّسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَ‌بِّكَ "marked, with your Lord, for the transgressors."... 51:34), that is, pebbles conspicuously marked by Allah. Some scholars say that each stone bore the name of the person with which he was to be destroyed, and if he ran in any particular direction, he was pursued by the same stone. Other verses say that these people were destroyed by Jibra'il's (علیہ السلام) turning their territory upside down. The two descriptions of the punishment are not mutually contradictory: Probably, the stoning incident took place first, and then the earth was turned upside down.
Tanwir al-Miqbas min Tafsir Ibn 'Abbas
(You We brought forth) from the townships of Lot's folk (such believers as were there) who believed in Allah's divine Oneness.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged)
The Angels were sent to destroy the People of the Prophet Lut Allah the Exalted said about Ibrahim, peace be upon him, فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَهِيمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَآءَتْهُ الْبُشْرَى يُجَـدِلُنَا فِى قَوْمِ لُوطٍ - إِنَّ إِبْرَهِيمَ لَحَلِيمٌ أَوَّاهٌ مُّنِيبٌ - يإِبْرَهِيمُ أَعْرِضْ عَنْ هَـذَآ إِنَّهُ قَدْ جَآءَ أَمْرُ رَبِّكَ وَإِنَّهُمْ آتِيهِمْ عَذَابٌ غَيْرُ مَرْدُودٍ (Then when the fear had gone away from (Ibrahim), and the glad tidings had reached him, he began to plead with Us for the people of Lut. Verily, Ibrahim was, without doubt forbearing, used to invoke Allah with humility, and was repentant. "O Ibrahim! Forsake this. Indeed, the commandment of your Lord has gone forth. Verily, there will come a torment for them which cannot be turned back.")(11:74-76) Allah said here, قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ ((Ibrahim) said: "Then for what purpose you have come, O messengers") meaning, `what is the mission that you were sent with,' قَالُواْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ (They said: "We have been sent to a people who are criminals.") in reference to the people of Lut, لِنُرْسِلَ عَلَيْهِمْ حِجَارَةً مِّن طِينٍ مُّسَوَّمَةً (To send down upon them stones of baked clay, marked), or written, عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلْمُسْرِفِينَ (by your Lord for transgressors.) recorded with Allah to their names; each stone has the name of its companion. Allah said in Surat Al-`Ankabut, قَالَ إِنَّ فِيهَا لُوطاً قَالُواْ نَحْنُ أَعْلَمُ بِمَن فِيهَا لَنُنَجِّيَنَّهُ وَأَهْلَهُ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ كَانَتْ مِنَ الْغَـبِرِينَ ((Ibrahim) said: "But there is Lut in it." They said: "We know better who is there. We will verily save him and his family except his wife: she will be of those who remain behind.")(29:32), and said here, فَأَخْرَجْنَا مَن كَانَ فِيهَا مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ (So We brought out from therein the believers.) they are: Lut and his family, except his wife, فَمَا وَجَدْنَا فِيهَا غَيْرَ بَيْتٍ مِّنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ (But We found not there any household of the Muslims except one.) Allah the Exalted said, وَتَرَكْنَا فِيهَآ ءَايَةً لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الاٌّلِيمَ (And We have left there a sign for those who fear the painful torment.) meaning, `We left a proof of the punishment, torment and stones made of Sijjil (baked clay) that We sent on them; We made their dwelling place a putrid, evil, dead sea. This should provide a lesson for the believers,' لِّلَّذِينَ يَخَافُونَ الْعَذَابَ الاٌّلِيمَ (for those who fear the painful torment.)
