Aya 171

إِلّا عَجوزًا فِي الغابِرينَ

Muhammad Asad

all but an old woman, who was among those that stayed behind;1
  • As is evident from 7:83, 11:81, 27:57 and 29:32-33, the old woman was Lots' wife - a native of Sodom - who chose to remain with her own people instead of accompanying her husband, whom she thus betrayed (cf. also 66:10).
