His saying, the Exalted: "And when Our messengers came to Lot."
17285 - My father narrated to us, Abu Salamah Musa ibn Isma‘il reported to us, Hammad reported to us, from ‘Ata ibn al-Sa’ib, from ‘Abd al-Rahman ibn Bishr al-Ansari, that the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: "The people had warned the people of Lot, then the angels came to them in the evening and passed by their meeting place. The people of Lot said to one another, 'Do not drive them away,' and they had never seen people more handsome than the angels. When they entered upon Lot, the people of Lot turned towards the vile ones. Lot went out to them and they solicited him for his guests. He continued to persist with them until he offered his daughters to them. They then came and entered his house. The angels said: 'We are messengers of your Lord; they will not reach us.' He said: 'Messengers of my Lord?' They said: 'Yes.' Lot said: 'Then now, it is time.'"
17286 - Abu Zur‘ah narrated to us, ‘Amr ibn Hammad reported to us, Asbat reported to us, from al-Suddi, who said: The angels left from Abraham towards the town of Lot and arrived at midday. When they arrived, they met a daughter of Lot fetching water for her family. He had two daughters; the name of the eldest was Rabtha and the youngest was Zaghartha. He said to her: "O young girl, is there any water?" She said: "Yes, stay where you are; do not enter until I come to you." She felt compassion for them because of her people. She came to her father and said: "O my father, young men called to me at the gate of the city whose faces I have never seen anyone more handsome than. Do not let your people take them and disgrace them." His people had forbidden him to host any man, and they said: "Leave us alone, we will host the men." So she brought them, and no one knew about them except the household of Lot—men, I have never seen their likes. He said: So his people came to him, rushing towards him... They said: "Did we not forbid you from hosting [all] people?"
His saying, the Exalted: "...was distressed for them."
17287 - My father narrated to us, Abu Salih narrated to me, Mu‘awiyah ibn Salih narrated to me, from ‘Ali ibn Abi Talhah, from Ibn ‘Abbas regarding His saying: "was distressed for them," he says: He had a bad opinion concerning his people.
17288 - My father narrated to us, al-Hasan ibn ‘Umar ibn Shaqiq al-Juhani reported to us, Husayn reported to us, Sulayman reported to us, from Abu ‘Imran al-Jawni, from ‘Abd Allah ibn Rabah, from Ka‘b: "was distressed for them and felt helpless for them." He was troubled by their presence due to the beauty he saw in them, and "felt helpless for them" means he felt distressed for his guests.

قَوْلُه تَعَالَى: وَلَمَّا أَنْ جَاءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا
١٧٢٨٥ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ مُوسَى بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، ثنا حَمَّادٌ، عَنْ عَطَاءِ بْنِ السَّائِبِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الأَنْصَارِيُّ أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ النَّاسَ كَانُوا قَدْ أَنْذَرُوا قَوْمَ لُوطٍ، فَجَاءَتْهُمُ الْمَلائِكَةُ عَشِيَّةً فَمَرُّوا بِنَادِيهِمْ، فَقَالَ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ بَعْضُهُمْ لِبَعْضٍ، لَا تُنَفِّرُوهُمْ وَلَمْ يَرَوْا قَوْمًا قَطُّ أَحْسَنَ مِنَ الْمَلائِكَةِ فَلَمَّا دَخَلُوا عَلَى لُوطٍ صَارَ قَوْمُ لُوطٍ نَحْوَ السُّقَّاطِينَ فخرج إليهم لوط ف راودوه، عَنْ ضَيْفِهِ فَلَمْ يَزَلْ بِهِمْ حَتَّى عَرَضَ عَلَيْهِمْ بَنَاتِهِ فَأَتَوْا فَدَخَلُوا بَيْتَهُ، فَقَالَتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ: إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْنَا. قَالَ: رُسُلُ رَبِّي؟ قَالُوا: «١» نَعَمْ. قَالَ لُوطٌ: فَالآنَ إِذًا.
١٧٢٨٦ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو زُرْعَةَ، ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ حَمَّادٍ، ثنا أَسْبَاطٌ، عَنِ السُّدِّيِّ قَالَ:
خَرَجَتِ الْمَلائِكَةُ مِنْ، عِنْدِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ نَحْوَ قَرْيَةِ لُوطٍ فَأْتُوهَا نِصْفَ النَّهَارِ، فَلَمَّا بَلَغُوا لَقُوا بِنْتَ لُوطٍ تَسْتَقِي مِنَ الْمَاءِ لأَهْلِهَا وَكَانَ لَهُ بِنْتَانِ اسْمُ الْكُبْرَى رَبْثَا وَالصُّغْرَى زَغَرْثَا، فَقَالَ لَهَا: يَا جَارِيَةُ، هَلْ مِنْ مَاءٍ؟ فَقَالَتْ: نَعَمْ، مَكَانَكُمْ لَا تَدْخُلُوا حَتَّى آتِيكُمْ، فَرِقَّتْ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ قَوْمِهِمْ فَأَتَتْ أَبَاهَا فَقَالَتْ: يَا أَبَتَاهُ، نَادَوْنِي فِتْيَانٌ عَلَى بَابِ الْمَدِينَةِ مَا رَأَيْتُ وجُوهَ قَوْمٍ هِيَ أَحْسَنُ مِنْهُمْ لَا يَأْخُذَهُمْ قَوْمُكَ فَيَفْضَحُوهُمْ.. كَانَ قَوْمُهُ نَهَوْهُ أَنْ يُضِيفَ رَجُلا، وَقَالُوا خَلِّ، عَنَّا فَنُضِفِ الرِّجَالَ فَجَاءَتْ بِهِمْ فَلَمْ يَعْلَمْ أَحَدٌ إِلا أَهْلَ بَيْتِ لُوطٍ رِجَالا مَا رَأَيْتُ مَثَلَهُمُ قَطُّ قال: ف جاءه قَوْمُهُ يُهْرَعُونَ إِلَيْهِ ... قَالُوا: أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ أَنْ تُضِيفَ الْعَالَمِينَ.
قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: سِيءَ بِهِمْ
١٧٢٨٧ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي، ثنا أَبُو صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، عَنْ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عن ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَوْلُهُ: سِيءَ بِهِمْ يَقُولُ: سَاءَ ظَنًّا بِقَوْمِهِ.
١٧٢٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ثنا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ عُمَرَ بْنِ شَقِيقٍ الْجُهَنِيُّ، ثنا حُسَيْنٌ، ثنا سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي عِمْرَانَ الْجَوْنِيِّ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ رَبَاحٍ، عَنْ كَعْبٍ سِيءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا سَاءَهُ مَكَانُهُمْ لِمَا رَأَى مِنْهُمْ مِنَ الْجَمَالِ ضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا يَقُولُ:
ضاق ذرعا بأضيافه.
