فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍۢ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌۭ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
سُورَةُ الحِجۡرِ
65
English — Sahih International
So set out with your family during a portion of the night and follow behind them and let not anyone among you look back and continue on to where you are commanded."
اردو — مودودی
لہٰذا اب تم کچھ رات رہے اپنے گھر والوں کو لے کر نکل جاؤ اور خود ان کے پیچھے پیچھے چلو تم میں سے کوئی پلٹ کر نہ دیکھے بس سیدھے چلے جاؤ جدھر جانے کا تمہیں حکم دیا جا رہا ہے"
Bahasa Indonesia — Kemenag
Maka pergilah kamu di akhir malam dengan membawa keluargamu, dan ikutlah mereka dari belakang dan janganlah seorangpun di antara kamu menoleh kebelakang dan teruskanlah perjalanan ke tempat yang di perintahkan kepadamu".
Ibn Kathir
Lut is ordered to leave with His Family during the Night
Allah tells us that His angels ordered Lut to set out after part of the night had passed. They told him to walk behind them, to protect them. Similarly, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would walk in the rear of the army on military campaigns, in order to help the weak and carry those who had no means of transport.
وَلاَ يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ
(and let no one amongst you look back,) meaning - when you hear the people screaming from their torment, do not turn around to look at them; leave them to face whatever punishment and vengeance is coming to them.
وَامْضُواْ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ
(but go on to where you are ordered.) - it is as if they had a guide with them to show them the way.
وَقَضَيْنَآ إِلَيْهِ ذَلِكَ الاٌّمْرَ
(And We made this decree known to him) meaning - We already told him about that.
أَنَّ دَابِرَ هَـؤُلآْءِ مَقْطُوعٌ مُّصْبِحِينَ
(that those (sinners) would be rooted out in the early morning.) meaning in the morning, as in another Ayah:
إِنَّ مَوْعِدَهُمُ الصُّبْحُ أَلَيْسَ الصُّبْحُ بِقَرِيبٍ
(Indeed, morning is their appointed time. Is not the morning near) 11:81
المُيَسَّر
قالوا: لا تَخَفْ، فإنَّا جئنا بالعذاب الذي كان يشك فيه قومك ولا يُصَدِّقون، وجئناك بالحق من عند الله، وإنا لصادقون، فاخرج مِن بينهم ومعك أهلك المؤمنون، بعد مرور جزء من الليل، وسر أنت وراءهم؛ لئلا يتخلف منهم أحد فيناله العذاب، واحذروا أن يلتفت منكم أحد، وأسرعوا إلى حيث أمركم الله؛ لتكونوا في مكان أمين.
