The Holy Quran 15:70 — Surah Al-Hijr

Arabic text

قَالُوٓا۟ أَوَلَمْ نَنْهَكَ عَنِ ٱلْعَـٰلَمِينَ

Translation

They (the people) replied, "Have we not forbidden you from (associating with anyone in) the world (had you done what we told you, you would not be faced with this situation of being humiliated) ?"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The insolence of the people of Lut ﵇: that is, it is not we who dishonour you; you dishonour yourself. We had already forbidden you to give shelter to any stranger or to make him your guest. We have the right to treat those who come from outside however we please.
