آية: 79

فَٱنتَقَمۡنَا مِنۡهُمۡ وَإِنَّهُمَا لَبِإِمَامٖ مُّبِينٖ

(79) We ˹at once˺ took vengeance on them. Indeed both of them^[3177] are on a clearly discernible road!^[3178]

[3177] That is, both the dwellings of the people of Prophet Lot (عليه السلام) and the people of Prophet Shuʿayb (عليه السلام) (cf. Ibn al-Jawzī, Abū Ḥayyān). Both peoples were not contemporaries, but they resided in places which were aligned (cf. Ibn Kathīr) and were located on the trade route taken by the Qurayshites (cf. Ibn Kathīr).
[3178] Imām Mubīn (lit. a clear lead). The road is called imām (lit. leader) because travellers follow its lead to reach their destination (Ibn Qutaybah, Gharīb al-Qur’ān, Ibn Fāris, Maqāyīs al-Lughah, al-Wāḥidī, al-Basīṭ).
