my people! Here are my daughters: they are purer for you (if ye marry)! Now fear Allah, and cover me not with shame

11:79
They said: "Well dost thou know we have no need of thy daughters: indeed thou knowest quite well what we want!"

(The Messengers) said: "O Lut! We are Messengers from thy Lord! By no means shall they reach thee! now travel

day that will compass (you) all round.
