The Threat of Restrictions and Exile by the People upon Sayyiduna Lutؑ:
When Lutؑ conveyed to them the message of Allah Almighty and warned them of the evil consequences of their immoralities, instead of accepting his words, they imposed various restrictions upon him. For example, if you wish to live in this town, then stop interfering in our affairs. Secondly, do not give shelter to guests or travelers in your home. Otherwise, we will not show you any consideration, and we will treat your guests or travelers in the manner we wish. This wretched people would not even spare travelers or guests; first, they would commit sodomy with them, then snatch their belongings and cash, and after that, drive them out of their town by shoving them. And if you do not accept these conditions of ours, then we will expel you from our region. There is no place in our town for the likes of you, the pure and chaste.
