And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds.1 He said, "O my people, these are my daughters;2 they are purer for you. So fear Allāh and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?"

Commentary on 11:78
Le peuple de Loth se rendit précipitamment chez lui dans le but de commettre l’irréparable avec ses hôtes. Il était effectivement dans leur habitude de copuler avec des hommes au lieu de femmes. Loth dit aux assaillants afin de les éloigner et de protéger ses hôtes: Voici mes filles. Epousez-les donc et ayez des rapports avec elles, cela sera plus pur pour vous que de commettre de telles turpitudes. Craignez Allah et ne me déshonorez pas en vous attaquant à mes hôtes. Ô mon peuple, n’y a-t-il pas parmi vous un homme doué de raison qui vous défende de commettre cet acte ignoble?
