The Holy Quran 54:37 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

وَلَقَدْ رَٰوَدُوهُ عَن ضَيْفِهِۦ فَطَمَسْنَآ أَعْيُنَهُمْ فَذُوقُوا۟ عَذَابِى وَنُذُرِ

Translation

(When Allaah sent some angels as guests to Loot عليه الصلاة والسلام to inform him about the punishment due to arrive,) They (the people) attempted to seduce (commit sodomy with) his guests (the angels) so We obliterated their eyes (blinded them as they tried). (As this happened, they were told,) "Taste My punishment and (the result of) My warnings!"

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

Ill-treatment of the angel guests: that is, the angels who had come in the form of handsome youths. Taking them for human beings, they wanted, owing to their evil nature, to seize them. We blinded them, so that they wandered about stumbling this way and that; nothing could be seen. And it was said: “There! First taste the taste of this punishment.”
