تفسير ابن كثير — Ismail ibn Kathir

قال الله تعالى : ( فأنجيناه وأهله إلا امرأته قدرناها من الغابرين ) أي : من الهالكين مع قومها ; لأنها كانت ردءا لهم على دينهم ، وعلى طريقتهم في رضاها بأفعالهم القبيحة ، فكانت تدل قومها على ضيفان لوط ، ليأتوا إليهم ، لا أنها كانت تفعل الفواحش تكرمة لنبي الله - صلى الله عليه وسلم - لا كرامة لها .
