Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 33998 — Reports on Lut (peace be upon him)
٣٣٩٩٨ - حدثنا أبو أسامة (قال: حدثنا) (١) سليمان بن (المغيرة) (٢) عن حميد بن هلالى قال: قال جندب: قال حذيفة: لما أرسلت الرسل إلى قوم لوط ليهلكوهم قيل لهم: لا تهلكوهم حتى يشهد عليهم لوط ثلاث مرار، قال: وكان طريقهم على إبراهيم ﵇ قال: فأتوا إبراهيم، قال: فلما بشروه بما بشروه قال: ﴿فَلَمَّا ذَهَبَ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الرَّوْعُ وَجَاءَتْهُ الْبُشْرَى يُجَادِلُنَا فِي قَوْمِ لُوطٍ﴾ [هود: ٧٤]، قال: وكان مجادلته إياهم أنه قال: أرأيتم إن كان فيها خمسون من المسلمين أتهلكوهم؟ قالوا: لا، قال: أفرأيتم إن كان فيها أربعون؟ قال: قالوا: لا، حتى انتهى إلى عشرة أو خمسة -حميد شك في ذلك- قال: (قالوا) (٣): فأتوا لوطا وهو يعمل في أرض له، قال: فحسبهم بشرًا، قال: فأقبل بهم خفيا (حين) (٤) أمسى إليه أهله، قال: فمشوا معه فالتفت إليهم، قال: وما تدرون ما يصنع هؤلاء؟ قالوا: وما يصنعون؟ فقال: ما من الناس أحد هو أشر منهم؟ قال: فلبسوا (أداتهم) (٥) على ما ⦗٤٩٦⦘ قال ومشوا معه، قال: ثم قال مثل هذا، فأعاد عليهم مثل هذا ثلاث مرار، قال: فانتهى بهم إلى أهله، قال: فانطلقت امرأته العجوز عجوز السوء إلى قومه فقالت: لقد تضيف لوط الليلة رجالا ما رأيت رجالا قط أحسن منهم وجوها ولا أطيب ريحًا منهم، قال: فأقبلوا يهرعون إليه (حتى دافعوه) (٦) الباب حتى كادوا يغلبونه عليه، قال فأهوى ملك منهم بجناحه، (قال) (٧): فصفقه دونهم، قال: وعلا لوط الباب و (علوه) (٨) معه، قال: فجعل يخاطبهم ﴿هَؤُلَاءِ بَنَاتِي هُنَّ أَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلَا تُخْزُونِ فِي ضَيْفِي أَلَيْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَشِيدٌ﴾، قال: فقالوا: ﴿قَالُوا لَقَدْ عَلِمْتَ مَا لَنَا فِي بَنَاتِكَ مِنْ حَقٍّ﴾ قال: فقال: ﴿لَوْ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمْ قُوَّةً أَوْ آوِي إِلَى رُكْنٍ شَدِيدٍ﴾ قال: قالوا: ﴿يَالُوطُ إِنَّا رُسُلُ رَبِّكَ لَنْ يَصِلُوا إِلَيْكَ﴾ قال: فذاك حين علم أنهم رسل اللَّه، ثم قرأ إلى قوله: ﴿أَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ﴾ [هود: ٧٨ - ٨١]، قال: وقال ملك، فأهوى يحناحه هكذا -يعني شبه الضرب، (فما) (٩) غشيه أحد منهم تلك الليلة إلا عمي، قال: فباتوا بشر ليلة عميانا ينتظرون العذاب، قال: وسار بأهله (١٠)، قال: استأذن جبريل في هلكتهم فأذن (له) (١١) فاحتمل الأرض التي كانوا عليها، قال: (فألوى) (١٢) بها حتى سمع أهل سماء الدنيا (ضغاء) (١٣) كلابهم، قال: ثم قلبها بهم، ⦗٤٩٧⦘ قال: فسمعت امرأته -يعني لوط ﵇ (١٤) الوجبة وهي معه (فالتفتت) (١٥) فأصابها العذاب، قال: وتتبعت (سفارهم) (١٦) بالحجارة (١٧).
Jundub reports that Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: When the angels were sent to destroy the people of Lut (peace be upon him), they were told: Do not destroy them until Lut (peace be upon him) has testified against them three times. He said: Their route passed by Ibrahim (peace be upon him), so they came to Ibrahim (peace be upon him) and gave him glad tidings. Allah says: "So when the fright had left Ibrahim and the glad tidings had come to him, he began to plead with Us concerning the people of Lut" [Hud: 74]. He said: His pleading with them was that he said: If there are fifty Muslims in this town, will you destroy them? They said: No. He said: Then if there are forty Muslims in it, will you destroy them? They said: No. This went on until he reached ten or five; Humayd, the narrator, was in doubt about this. After that they came to Lut (peace be upon him) while he was working on his land. He took them to be human beings, and when evening came he led them secretly towards his home. (2) After that they walked with him, and he turned to them and said: Do you know what these people do? They said: What do they do? He said: There is no one among mankind worse than them. They said nothing to this and walked on with him. Then he said the same thing again, and they gave the same reply; he did this three times. After that he brought them to his home. His old wife then went to his people and said: Tonight men have come as guests to Lut, more handsome and more fragrant than any people I have seen. (3) So they came running to him until they were pushing at the door, and they had almost brought it down. Then one of the angels swept down his wing and slammed the door shut in front of them. Lut (peace be upon him) climbed up on the door and they climbed up with him, and he addressed them: "These are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allah, and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not a single sensible man among you?" They said: "You know that we have no right to your daughters, and you also know what we intend." He said: "If only I had some strength, and if only I could seek help from a strong supporter." They said: "O Lut! We are messengers of your Lord, and they will not be able to reach you." At that moment he came to know that they were angels sent by Allah. Then the narrator recited up to: "Is not the morning near?" [Hud: 78-81]. (4) He said: One of the angels moved his wing like this, the way one strikes, and everyone that the wing reached became blind. They spent the worst of nights in a state of blindness, awaiting the punishment. Lut (peace be upon him) set out with his family, and Jibril asked permission to destroy them, and he was given permission. He lifted up the land on which they were and raised it until the angels of the lowest heaven heard the sounds of their dogs; then he turned it over. His wife, who was with him, heard the sound and looked back, and the punishment seized her as well. And stones also rained upon their travellers.
