Most High:
“We have been sent to a people of criminals (58), except the household of Lot; we will surely save them all (59), except his wife.” [al-Hijr 58–60]
Thus, Lot himself is included in the household of Lot. The same applies to the worshipper’s words: “O Allah, send blessings upon Muhammad and upon the household of Muhammad, as You sent blessings upon the household of Abraham.” This wording appears in the two Sahīh collections and is more authentic than the other wordings.
تعالى إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَى قَوْمٍ مُجْرِمِينَ
(٥٨)
إِلَّا آلَ لُوطٍ إِنَّا لَمُنَجُّوهُمْ أَجْمَعِينَ
(٥٩)
إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ
[الحجر ٥٨-٦٠]
فلوط نفسه داخل في آل لوط وكذلك قول المصلي اللهم صلِّ على محمد وعلى آل محمد كما صليت على آل إبراهيم وهذا اللفظ في الصحيحين وهو أصح من غيره
