Al-Hijr
IN THE NAME OF GOD, THE MOST GRACIOUS, THE DISPENSER OF GRACE[15:72]
[But the angels spoke thus:] "As thou livest, [O Lot, they will not listen to thee:] behold, in their delirium [of lust] they are but blindly stumbling to and fro!"

* v.72 : The above two interpolations are based on Zamakhsharī’s commentary on this verse. The oath “As thou livest” reads, literally, “By thy life.”
