The Thugs Forcing Their Way Into Sayyiduna Lut’s House:
The people of Sodom had become so shameless and brazen regarding the act of sodomy that they did not even show any regard for Sayyiduna Lutؑ; rather, they would say to him that if you are so pure, then leave our city. Thus, as soon as these handsome boys arrived at Lutؑ’s house, his wife informed on them, and they climbed over the wall and forced their way into his house. Sayyiduna Lutؑ pleaded with them, saying, "Look! These are my guests, do not disgrace me by assaulting them."
