And tell them of Abraham's guests, (51)

(How) when they came in unto him, and said: Peace. He said: Lo! we are afraid of you. (52)

They said: Be not afraid! Lo! we bring thee good tidings of a boy possessing wisdom. (53)

He said: Bring ye me good tidings (of a son) when old age hath overtaken me? Of what then can ye bring good tidings? (54)

They said: We bring thee good tidings in truth. So be not thou of the despairing. (55)

He said: And who despaireth of the mercy of his Lord save those who are astray? (56)

He said: And afterward what is your business, O ye messengers (of Allah)? (57)

They said: We have been sent unto a guilty folk, (58)

(All) save the family of Lot. Them we shall deliver every one, (59)

Except his wife, of whom We had decreed that she should be of those who stay behind. (60)
