What did Ibn Kathir say about Prophet Lūṭ?

"his people deserved. The narration includes a hadith where the prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, commented on Lot's situation, highlighting that Lot indeed took refuge in a strong support, meaning Allah. The story continues with the people of the city coming to Lot, rejoicing, and he urged them not to disgrace him. Despite his warnings, they persisted in their sinful ways. Allah swore by the life of prophet Muhammad, peace and blessings be upon him, that Lot's people were in a state of intoxication, wandering blindly. Commentators mention that Lot resisted his people from entering his home, preaching to them from"

"behind a closed door. As the situation became dire, he expressed his wish for strength or support. The angels then revealed themselves, assuring Lot that they were messengers of his Lord and that his people would not reach him. It is said that Gabriel, peace be upon him, struck the faces of Lot's people with his wing, blinding them completely. They returned, threatening Lot, but Allah had already decreed their punishment. Allah states in the Quran that he obliterated their eyes as a warning and punishment. Thus, the angels instructed Lot, peace be upon him, to leave with his family at night, advising them not to look"

"said, And he overthrew the cities. So there covered them that which covered, meaning he overturned them, and covered them with a rain of stones from Sijil. It is said that Lot's wife remained with her people. Others say she left with her husband and daughters, but turned back upon hearing the cry and fall of the town, disobeying the command of her Lord. A stone struck her, killing her, and she joined her people as she was upon their religion. She acted as an informant about Lot's guests. As the Most High said, God sets forth an example for those who disbelieve. The wife of Noah and the wife of Lot, who were under two of our righteous servants, but betrayed them. They were"

"wrongdoers, from Surah Hud, scholars have debated its implications. Some argue that the perpetrator of the act of the people of Lot should be stoned, whether married or not. This was asserted by al-Shafi'i, Ahmad ibn Hanbal, and many other scholars. They cited the hadith where the messenger of God, peace and blessings be upon him, said, Whoever you find performing the act of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the one it is done to. Abu Hanifa held a different view, suggesting that such a person should be thrown from a high mountain and followed by stones, as was done with the people of Lot, due to the verse, And it is not far from the wrongdoers. God turned the"

"Fasting narrows these pathways and blocks them, while fullness opens and widens them. Whoever eats a lot drinks a lot, sleeps a lot, and thus loses a lot. In the well-known حَدِيث, "No human ever filled a vessel worse than his stomach. It is sufficient for the son of آدَم to eat a few mouthfuls to keep his back straight."

"Inside this mosque is also the grave of Joseph, peace be upon him, and to the east of the sanctuary of Hebron is the tomb of Lot, peace be upon him. It is a high mound overlooking the valley of the Dead Sea, and on his grave there are beautiful structures. He is entombed in a well-built white house without drapery. Nearby is Lake Lot, now known as the Dead Sea, due to the absence of life within it due to the salinity of its waters. Close to Lot's tomb is the Mosque of Certainty, situated on an elevated mound with light and radiance unmatched by any other. Only one house sits next to it, inhabited by its caretaker. The mosque, near its entrance, has a low spot"

"Its chain of narration meets the criteria of al-Bukhari. It is also established that the Prophet said, May Allah curse the one who does as the people of Lot did. May Allah curse the one who does as the people of Lot did. May Allah curse the one who does as the people of Lot did. There is no transmission of him cursing the fornicator in a single hadith, and he cursed groups of major sinners, but did not extend the curse beyond once."

"He cursed those who committed their deeds three times, saying, May Allah curse the one who does the actions of the people of Lot. He also said, Whoever you find doing the actions of the people of Lot, kill the doer and the one who is done to. Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them, advised, Throw him from the top of a building in the village, then follow him with stones, as was done with the people of Lot."

"She greeted him and he returned her greeting, saying, O mother of Alqama, tell me how is your son Alqama? She said, O Messenger of Allah, he prays a lot, fasts a lot, and gives a lot of charity. The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, asked, And what is your condition? She said, O Messenger of Allah, I am angry with him."

"They replied, Ten camels. She advised them to cast lots between Abdullah and the camels, increasing the number of camels until the lot fell on them instead of Abdullah. They returned to Mecca, brought Abdullah and ten camels, and cast lots. The lot fell on Abdullah, so they added ten more camels. This continued until the number reached 100 camels, and finally the lot fell on the camels."
