26-1. Hazrat Lut عليه السلام was the nephew of Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ. He believed in Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ, and later he was also sent as a prophet to the region of 'Sodom'.

26-2. This was said by Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ, and according to some, by Hazrat Lut ؑ, and some say both migrated. That is, when it became difficult for Ibrahim ؑ and Lut ؑ, who believed in him, to worship Allah in their area 'Kuti', which was a settlement of Kufa on the way to Haran, they migrated from there to the region of Syria. The third person, Hazrat Ibrahim ؑ's wife Sarah was with them.
