Surah Al-'Ankabut
وَلَمَّآ أَن جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ وَلَا تَحْزَنْ ۖ إِنَّا مُنَجُّوكَ وَأَهْلَكَ إِلَّا ٱمْرَأَتَكَ كَانَتْ مِنَ ٱلْغَـٰبِرِينَ
Wa lammā an jā'at rusulunā lūṭan sī'a bihim wa ḍāqa bihim żar‘aw wa qālū lā takhaf wa lā taḥzan, innā munajjūka wa ahlaka illamra'ataka kānat minal-gābirīn(a).
