(83) فَأَنْجَيْناهُ وَ أَهْلَهُ إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ كانَتْ مِنَ الْغابِرِينَ
83. " So We delivered him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the ashes of punishment)."
Commentary :
Regarding what was stated in the three above-mentioned holy verses, any just arbitrator can issue the command of condemnation of this mischievous nation. That is why the Qur'anin this verse implies that since they did thus,
Allah saved Lut and his true followers and his family, who were pious, except his wife, whom He left among the mischievous people, because, from the point of belief and creed, she was the same as the people of Lut were.
The verse says :
" So we delivered him and his family, except his wife; she was of those who remained behind (in the ashes of punishment)."
