"You lust after men rather than women. You are an excessive people."
And his people's only answer was to say, "Expel them from your town; they are purist people."
But We saved him and his family, except for his wife; she was of those who lagged behind.

And to Median, their brother Shuaib. He said, "O my people, worship Allah; you have no god other than Him. A clear proof has come to you from your Lord. Give full measure and weight, and do not cheat people out of their rights, and do not corrupt the land once it has been set right. This is better for you, if you are believers."
"And do not lurk on every path, making threats and turning away from the path of Allah those who believe in Him, seeking to distort it. And remember how you were few, and how He made you numerous. So note the consequences for the corrupters."
"Since some of you believed in what I was sent with, and some did not believe, be patient until Allah judges between us; for He is the Best of Judges."
The arrogant elite among his people said, "O Shuaib, We will evict you from our town, along with those who believe with you, unless you return to our religion." He said, "Even if we are unwilling?"
"We would be fabricating falsehood against Allah, if we were to return to your religion, after Allah has saved us from it. It is not for us to return to it, unless Allah, our Lord, wills. Our Lord embraces all things in knowledge. In Allah we place our trust. Our Lord, decide between us and our people in truth, for You are the Best of Deciders."
The elite of his people who disbelieved said, "If you follow Shuaib, you will be losers."
