Syedna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said about Lut (peace be upon him): {لَوْ أَ نَّ لِی بِکُمْ قُوَّۃً أَوْ آوِی إِلٰی رُکْنٍ شَدِیدٍ} … If only I had the strength to oppose you or could rely on a strong supporter. (Surah Hud: 80) The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: He (Lut, peace be upon him) sought support from his Lord, the Strong Support. The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: After him, whenever Allah Almighty sent a prophet, He sent him among a large multitude of his people.

. (Second chain) There is a similar hadith, except that it states: Lot (peace be upon him) would take refuge towards a strong fortress, and by that he meant his relatives. So after that, Allah did not send any prophet except from the noblest lineage of his people. The words of the narrator Abu ‘Umar are: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: So Allah, the Exalted, did not send any prophet after him except that He kept him protected among his own people.
