وَجَآءَهٗ قَوْمُهٗ یُهْرَعُوْنَ اِلَیْهِ ؕ وَمِنْ قَبْلُ كَانُوْا یَعْمَلُوْنَ السَّیِّاٰتِ ؕ قَالَ یٰقَوْمِ هٰۤؤُلَآءِ بَنَاتِیْ هُنَّ اَطْهَرُ لَكُمْ فَاتَّقُوا اللّٰهَ وَلَا تُخْزُوْنِ فِیْ ضَیْفِیْ ؕ اَلَیْسَ مِنْكُمْ رَجُلٌ رَّشِیْدٌ ۟

Saheeh International
And his people came hastening to him, and before [this] they had been doing evil deeds. He said, "O my people, these are my daughters; they are purer for you. So fear Allāh and do not disgrace me concerning my guests. Is there not among you a man of reason?"
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
The people of Lot came rushing to him, intending to commit an outrage against his guests. They were used to going to men with desire instead of women. In order to put his people off his guests, Lot told them that they should marry the women among his people, because they were purer for them than the outrage they committed. He told them to fear Allah and not to disgrace him concerning his guests, asking if there was a single right-minded man among them who would tell them not to commit such a shameful act.
