And when its inhabitants perceived Our punishment, at once they fled from it.

لَا تَرْكُضُوا۟ وَٱرْجِعُوٓا۟ إِلَىٰ مَآ أُتْرِفْتُمْ فِيهِ وَمَسَٰكِنِكُمْ لَعَلَّكُمْ تُسْـَٔلُونَ

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were given luxury and to your homes - perhaps you will be questioned."
