آيات AYAT.ONE
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهٖۤ اِلَّاۤ اَنۡ قَالُـوۡۤا اَخۡرِجُوۡهُمۡ مِّنۡ قَرۡيَتِكُمۡ​ ۚ اِنَّهُمۡ اُنَاسٌ يَّتَطَهَّرُوۡنَ‏ ۝
Wama kana jawabaqawmihi illa an qaloo akhrijoohum min qaryatikuminnahum onasun yatatahharoon
But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
