Aya 78
78
وَجاءَهُ قَومُهُ يُهرَعونَ إِلَيهِ وَمِن قَبلُ كانوا يَعمَلونَ السَّيِّئَاتِ ۚ قالَ يا قَومِ هٰؤُلاءِ بَناتي هُنَّ أَطهَرُ لَكُم ۖ فَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ وَلا تُخزونِ في ضَيفي ۖ أَلَيسَ مِنكُم رَجُلٌ رَشيدٌ

His people, long addicted to evil practices, came running towards him. ‘My people,’ he said, ‘here are my daughters:1 surely they are more wholesome to you. Fear God, and do not shame me by insulting my guests. Is there not one right-minded man among you?’
  • Cf. Genesis xix, 8.
