Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)
The Reason why the Angels cameAllah tells us that after Ibrahim had calmed down from the excitement of this good news, he started to ask them why they had come to him. They said,إِنَّآ أُرْسِلْنَآ إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ(We have been sent to a guilty people.) meaning the people of Lut. They told him that they were going to save the family of Lut from among those people, except for his wife, because she was one of those who were doomed.
