Assuredly Abraham was forbearing long-suffering imploring penitent always returning to God in repentance thus he said to them ‘Would you destroy a town in which there are 300 believers?’ They said ‘No’. He said ‘Would you destroy a town in which there are 200 believers?’ They said ‘No’. He said ‘Would you destroy a town in which there are 40 believers?’ They said ‘No’. He said ‘Would you destroy a town in which there are 14 believers?’ They said ‘No’. He said ‘What if there were one believer in it?’ They said ‘No’. He said ‘Lot is in it’. They said ‘We know full well who is in it’ … to the end of the narrative.
