Commentary
Zar-‘un – (the
heart, self, mind), actually za-ra-‘a means “to measure”, then
it was meant “to move”, and then its meaning became “spirit, strength, power”.
Because these things exist in the heart, so the people began to use it as
“heart”.
‘Asiibun –
(distressful), this word is an adjective, which has been derived from ‘a-sa-ba. ‘Asab means
“muscle, nerve, tendon”. ‘Asiib means “straitened, distressed,
difficult”.
Yuhra-‘uuna – (were
caused to run), this word is from ‘ih-raa-‘un, which has come out
from ha-ra-‘a. Hara-‘a mean “to run”. ‘Ih-raa-‘un means
“to cause to run”. It aims that their wish (in the inmost) was compelling them
to run fast.
When the Angels (peace be upon
them) reached Prophet Lot (peace be up[on him) in the forms of beautiful and
handsome youths and said: We have come unto you as guests. Lot (peace
be up[on him) was confused because He was aware of the habit of His nation that
they would not miss any chance to oppress them and it came out from His
mouth: This is a distressful day. We don’t know how this day would be
passed. The people of the folk had lost their wits when they saw the guests and
came running unto them impatiently, because before then; they had become
habitual of committing abominations unhesitatingly.
The only purpose of Angels’
coming unto Lot (peace be upon them) was to find eye evidence on
their sin of committing carnal copulation against nature, and they should not
be punished so much severely without proof.
