Hud 11:77

Word by word

وَلَمَّا جَآءَتْ رُسُلُنَا لُوطًا سِىٓءَ بِهِمْ وَضَاقَ بِهِمْ ذَرْعًا وَقَالَ هَـٰذَا يَوْمٌ عَصِيبٌ

And when Our messengers, [the angels], came to Lot, he was anguished for them and felt for them great discomfort and said, "This is a trying day."

ولما جاءت ملائكتنا لوطًا ساءه مجيئهم واغتمَّ لذلك; وذلك لأنه لم يكن يعلم أنهم رسل الله، فخاف عليهم من قومه، وقال: هذا يوم بلاء وشدة.
