And when the messengers came to the family of Lot,
Al-Mukhtasar fi Tafsir
When the Messengers from the Angels came to the family of Lot in the form of men.
Tafsir Ibn Kathir (abridged) on 15:61–15:64
Then when the messengers (the angels) came to the family of Lu (61)He (Lut) said: "Verily, you are people unknown to me. (62)They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting. (63)"And we have brought you the truth and certainly we tell the truth. (64)
The Angels coming to Lut
Allah tells us about when the angels came to Lut in the form of young men with handsome faces. When they entered his home, he said:
إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ - قَالُوا بَلْ جِئْنَاكَ بِمَا كَانُوا فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ
("Verily, you are people unknown to me." They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting.") meaning that they were bringing the punishment and destruction that the people doubted they would ever suffer from.
وَأَتَيْنَاكَ بِالْحَقِّ
(And we have brought you the truth) is like the Ayah,
مَا نُنَزِّلُ الْمَلَائِكَةَ إِلَّا بِالْحَقِّ
(We do not send the angels down except with the truth)[15:8] and
وَإِنَّا لَصَادِقُونَ
(and certainly, we tell the truth.) They said this in affirmation of the news that they brought him, that he would be saved and his people would be destroyed.
