Translation

Indeed, We sent upon them a storm of stones, except the family of Lot - We saved them before dawn

Verse interpretation (Tafsir)

I sent on them a wind that threw stones on them except the family of Lot (peace be upon him). The punishment did not afflict them, as I had rescued them from it as he had travelled away with them before the punishment came down in the last part of the night.
