Tafseer Ibn Kathir

The Reason why the Angels came

Allah tells;

قَالَ فَمَا خَطْبُكُمْ أَيُّهَا الْمُرْسَلُونَ



He said;"What then is the business for which you have come, O messengers!"

Allah tells us that after Ibrahim had calmed down from the excitement of this good news, he started to ask them why they had come to him.

قَالُواْ إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
