Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

The Angels coming to LutAllah tells us about when the angels came to Lut in the form of young men with handsome faces. When they entered his home, he said:قَالَ إِنَّكُمْ قَوْمٌ مُّنكَرُونَ - قَالُواْ بَلْ جِئْنَـكَ بِمَا كَانُواْ فِيهِ يَمْتَرُونَ ("Verily, you are people unknown to me." They said: "Nay, we have come to you with that (torment) which they have been doubting.") meaning that they were bringing the punishment and destruction that the people doubted they would ever suffer from.
