    • Shaheen International

    66. This means what will you do after this? Perhaps he had ascertained from the signs that these angels had not just come to convey glad tidings, they would do other things as well. Therefore, he had asked the questions.

     

    Ibn-Kathir

    57. He said: “What then is the business for which you have come, O messengers” 58. They said: “We have been sent to a guilty people.” 59. “(All) except the family of Lut, all of whom we are to save (from the destruction).” 60. “Except for his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind.”

    The Reason why the Angels came

    Allah tells us that after Ibrahim had calmed down from the excitement of this good news, he started to ask them why they had come to him. They said,

    ﴿إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ﴾

    (We have been sent to a guilty people.) meaning the people of Lut. They told him that they were going to save the family of Lut from among those people, except for his wife, because she was one of those who were doomed. Thus it was said,

    ﴿إِلاَّ امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَآ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَـبِرِينَ ﴾

    (Except for his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind.) i.e., she was one of those who would be left behind and will be destroyed.

    (15:57) He added: “What is your errand O sent ones?”[33]

    Ala-Maududi

    (15:57) He added: “What is your errand O sent ones?”[33]

    33. It appears from the question of Prophet Abraham (peace be upon him) that angels are sent down in human shape only on extraordinary occasions and on some important expedition.

    (57) [Abraham] said, "Then what is your business [here], O messengers?"
