Commentary (Tafsir Ibn Kathir)

Lut is ordered to leave with His Family during the NightAllah tells us that His angels ordered Lut to set out after part of the night had passed. They told him to walk behind them, to protect them. Similarly, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ would walk in the rear of the army on military campaigns, in order to help the weak and carry those who had no means of transport.
