آیه: 82

وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوۡمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓاْ أَخۡرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرۡيَتِكُمۡۖ إِنَّهُمۡ أُنَاسٞ يَتَطَهَّرُونَ

(82) The reply of his people was nothing other than saying: “Expel them out of your town; these are people who keep ˹themselves˺ pure!”^[1681]

[1681] To such people, the mere presence of those who do not partake in their hedonistic way of life is a painful reminder of the virtue they are not, one that constantly gnaws on their consciences. Naturally, they want them gone (cf. Ibn ʿĀshūr). Their only charge was that they were ‘pure’.
