إِذ دَخَلوا عَلَيهِ فَقالوا سَلامًا ۖ قالَ سَلامٌ قَومٌ مُنكَرونَ

When they entered upon him and said, "[We greet you with] peace." He answered, "[And upon you] peace, [you are] a people unknown.

فَراغَ إِلىٰ أَهلِهِ فَجاءَ بِعِجلٍ سَمينٍ

Then he went to his family and came with a fat [roasted] calf

فَقَرَّبَهُ إِلَيهِم قالَ أَلا تَأكُلونَ

And placed it near them; he said, "Will you not eat?"

فَأَوجَسَ مِنهُم خيفَةً ۖ قالوا لا تَخَف ۖ وَبَشَّروهُ بِغُلامٍ عَليمٍ

And he felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not," and gave him good tidings of a learned boy.

فَأَقبَلَتِ امرَأَتُهُ في صَرَّةٍ فَصَكَّت وَجهَها وَقالَت عَجوزٌ عَقيمٌ

And his wife approached with a cry [of alarm] and struck her face and said, "[I am] a barren old woman!"

قالَ فَما خَطبُكُم أَيُّهَا المُرسَلونَ

[Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"

قالوا إِنّا أُرسِلنا إِلىٰ قَومٍ مُجرِمينَ

They said, "Indeed, we have been sent to a people of criminals

لِنُرسِلَ عَلَيهِم حِجارَةً مِن طينٍ

To send down upon them stones of clay,

مُسَوَّمَةً عِندَ رَبِّكَ لِلمُسرِفينَ

Marked in the presence of your Lord for the transgressors."

فَأَخرَجنا مَن كانَ فيها مِنَ المُؤمِنينَ

So We brought out whoever was in the cities of the believers.
