The Holy Quran 15:52 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

إِذْ دَخَلُوا۟ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالُوا۟ سَلَـٰمًا قَالَ إِنَّا مِنكُمْ وَجِلُونَ

Translation

When they entered his presence, they greeted with Salaam. (However, when Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام served them some food, they did not eat. Sensing that they had come to punish someone,) He (Ibraheem عليه الصلاة والسلام) said, "We are afraid of you."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani
