This day you will be awarded the punishment of disgrace, for you used to forge a lie against Allah, and because you were big with pride against His signs [198].

12. Then perhaps you might leave out some of what is revealed to you and your breast may feel constricted by it, because they say, "Why has no treasure been sent down to him or no angel come with him?" You are only a warner [28], and Allah is a Guardian over everything [29].

81. The angels said, "O Lut! We are messengers [162] from your Lord; they cannot reach you. So travel with your family during the night, and let none of you look back [163], except your wife [164].
