Hud 11:70

Word by word

فَلَمَّا رَءَآ أَيْدِيَهُمْ لَا تَصِلُ إِلَيْهِ نَكِرَهُمْ وَأَوْجَسَ مِنْهُمْ خِيفَةً ۚ قَالُوا۟ لَا تَخَفْ إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَىٰ قَوْمِ لُوطٍ

But when he saw their hands not reaching for it, he distrusted them and felt from them apprehension. They said, "Fear not. We have been sent to the people of Lot."

فلما رأى إبراهيم أيديهم لا تَصِل إلى العجل الذي أتاهم به ولا يأكلون منه، أنكر ذلك منهم، وأحس في نفسه خيفة وأضمرها، قالت الملائكة -لما رأت ما بإبراهيم من الخوف-: لا تَخَفْ إنا ملائكة ربك أُرسلنا إلى قوم لوط لإهلاكهم.
