The Holy Quran 15:65 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

فَأَسْرِ بِأَهْلِكَ بِقِطْعٍ مِّنَ ٱلَّيْلِ وَٱتَّبِعْ أَدْبَـٰرَهُمْ وَلَا يَلْتَفِتْ مِنكُمْ أَحَدٌ وَٱمْضُوا۟ حَيْثُ تُؤْمَرُونَ

Translation

"So leave (the town) with your family during a portion (the last part) of the night, follow on their heels (to ensure that all of them are well) and let none of you turn around (to look at what is to become of the others). Then proceed to where you have been commanded (to go to Shaam)."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

that is, when a little of the night remains, take your family out of the town, and you yourself stay behind them all, so that you may be fully assured that no one has been left behind or turned back from the road.
