يقول تعالى ذكره: قال لوط لقومه: تزوّجوا النساء فأتوهنّ، ولا تفعلوا ما قد حرّم الله عليكم من إتيان الرجال، إن كنتم فاعلين ما آمركم به ، ومنتهين إلى أمري. كما حدثنا بشر، قال: ثنا يزيد، قال: ثنا سعيد، عن قتادة ( قَالَ هَؤُلاءِ بَنَاتِي إِنْ كُنْتُمْ فَاعِلِينَ ) : أمرهم نبيّ الله لوط أن يتزوّجوا النساء، وأراد أن يَقِيَ أضيافه ببناته.
