So when they reached this limit in wickedness, glorified is He, He caused them to be removed from their saying and their actions, His saying: "So We saved him and his family," meaning: all of them, except his wife. It was as if it was said: What was her matter? It was said: "We had decreed her," meaning: We made her, by Our greatness and power, in the judgment, even though she had exited with him, among those who remained, meaning: those who stayed in the village, in the following of their faces and the calamity of their own selves and their homes, until they were like yesterday's remnants.
