No sooner did they hear the news of the arrival of handsome strangers in their town than they rushed rejoicing to the house of Prophet Lot (peace be upon him) and impudently demanded that he should hand over his guests to them for the gratification of their lust. The pity is that there had remained not a single person among them to make a protest against such a heinous sin. Moreover, this shows that all of them, as a community, had totally lost every sense of decency, and they felt no shame at all to make such a wicked demand on him openly. The very fact, that they felt no hesitation in making such a wicked demand brazen facedly from a pious and holy man like Prophet Lot (peace be upon him), shows that the heinous crime was so common among them that they would not spare anyone. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab In the interim, there came the city dwellers displaying their gasp of pleasure and joyous delight at the thought of the presence of young men. ### Bijan Moeinian Meanwhile the people of the town rushed joyfully to the house of Lot (to have fun with his guests. ) ### Al-Hilali & Khan And the inhabitants of the city came rejoicing (at the news of the young men’s arrival). ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali The inhabitants of the city came in (mad) joy (at news of the young men). ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran And there came the men of the city, rejoicing. ### Taqi Usmani And the people of the city came rejoicing. ### Abdul Haleem The people of the town came along, revelling, ### Arthur John Arberry And the people of the city came rejoicing. ### E.
