51:25  When they went in unto him, and said, peace: He answered, peace; saying within himself, these are unknown people
51:26  And he went privately unto his family, and brought a fatted calf
51:27  And he set it before them, and when he saw they touched it not, he said, do ye not eat
51:28  And he began to entertain a fear of them. They said, fear not: And they declared unto him the promise of a wise youth
51:29  And his wife drew near with exclamation, and she smote her face, and said, I am an old woman, and barren
51:30  The angels answered, thus saith thy Lord: Verily He is the wise, the knowing
51:31  And Abraham said unto them, what is your errand, therefore O messengers of God
51:32  They answered, verily we are sent unto a wicked people
51:33  That we may send down upon them stones of baked clay
51:34  marked from thy Lord, for the destruction of transgressors
51:35  And we brought forth the true believers who were in the city
51:36  But we found not therein more than one family of Moslems

51:50  Fly, therefore, unto God; verily I am a public warner unto you, from Him
51:51  And set not up another god with the true God: Verily I am a public warner unto you, from Him
51:52  In like manner there came no apostle unto their predecessors, but they said, this man is a magician, or a madman
