"Truly! The Muttaqun (pious and righteous persons - see V. 2:2) will be amidst Gardens and water-springs (Paradise). 45 Enter therein in peace, secure. 46 We shall strip away all rancour that is in their breasts; as brothers they shall be upon couches set face to face; 47 Neither any hardship is to reach them in it, nor are they to be expelled from it. 48 ۞ Inform My servants that I am the Forgiving, the Merciful, 49 At the same time, My chastisement is highly painful. 50 Tell them about Abraham's guests: 51 When they entered unto him, and said: Salaman (peace)! [Ibrahim (Abraham)] said: "Indeed! We are afraid of you." 52 "Have no fear," they said. "We bring you news of a son full of wisdom." 53 Abraham said: "What, do you give me this tiding though old age has smitten me? Just consider what tiding do you give me!" 54 They said, "We have, indeed, given you glad tidings in truth; do not therefore despair." 55 He said, 'And who despairs of the mercy of his Lord, excepting those that are astray?' 56 Messengers, what is your task?" 57 "We have been sent," they said, "to (punish) a sinful people, 58 Except Lot's family, of whom we shall save all, 59 Except his wife." Allah decreed that she is of those who remain behind. 60
