Commentary on 11:80
٨٠ - ﴿قَالَ﴾ لهم لوط : ﴿لَوۡ أَنَّ لِي بِكُمۡ قُوَّةً﴾ أي : طاقة على منعكم ودفعكم ﴿أَوۡ ءَاوِيٓ إِلَىٰ رُكۡنٖ شَدِيدٖ﴾ أي : أو أني ألجأ وأنضوي إلى عشيرة قوية مانعة تنصرني، وتمنعني منكم،أي: لمنعتكم بالقوة و لحلت بينكم و بين ما جئتم به.و هو جواب «لو» المقدّر. يقال : أويت إليك، فأنا آوي إليك أُوِيّا، بمعنى : صرت إليك وانضممت. وإنما قال ذلك، لأنه لم يكن من قومه نسبا وعشيرة، بل كان غريبا فيهم، لأنه كان من أهل العراق. وفي الحديث : عند الترمذي، عن أبي هريرة، أن رسول الله ﷺ قال: «رحمة الله على لوط، لقد كان يأوي إلى ركن شديد» يعني : الله عز وجل. فقوله ذلك إنما كان بحسب الأسباب المادية المحسوسة، وإلا فإنه كان يأوي إلى ركن شديد، وهو الله عز وجل .
