إِلَّا عِبَادَ ٱللَّهِ ٱلۡمُخۡلَصِينَ

Except the chosen slaves of Allah.


وَتَرَكۡنَا عَلَيۡهِ فِي ٱلۡأٓخِرِينَ

And We left for him (a goodly remembrance) among generations (to come) in later times;


سَلَٰمٌ عَلَىٰٓ إِلۡ يَاسِينَ

Salamun (peace) be upon Ilyasin (Elias)!"


إِنَّا كَذَٰلِكَ نَجۡزِي ٱلۡمُحۡسِنِينَ

Verily, thus do We reward the Muhsinun (good-doers, who perform good deeds totally for Allah's sake only - see V. 2:112).


إِنَّهُۥ مِنۡ عِبَادِنَا ٱلۡمُؤۡمِنِينَ

Verily, he was one of Our believing slaves.


وَإِنَّ لُوطٗا لَّمِنَ ٱلۡمُرۡسَلِينَ

And verily, Lout (Lot) was one of the Messengers.


إِذۡ نَجَّيۡنَٰهُ وَأَهۡلَهُۥٓ أَجۡمَعِينَ

When We saved him and his family, all,


إِلَّا عَجُوزٗا فِي ٱلۡغَٰبِرِينَ

Except an old woman (his wife) who was among those who remained behind.


ثُمَّ دَمَّرۡنَا ٱلۡأٓخَرِينَ

Then We destroyed the rest [i.e. the towns of Sodom at the place of the Dead Sea (now) in Palestine]. [See the "Book of History" by Ibn Kathir].
