Wahb bin Munabbih (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: "When Sayyidah Sarah (peace be upon her) passed away, Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) married a woman whose name was Hajura. She bore him seven sons: Nafis, Madyan, Kaysan, Lut, Sarkh, Umaym and Naghshan." And he also mentioned in this book: "Allah granted Madyan ranks for Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and Lut (peace be upon him) was also one of them."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "The Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) was the nephew of the Friend of Allah, Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him)." This chain is sahih (authentic). And in the book of Isma'il bin Abd al-Karim it is narrated from Abd al-Samad bin Ma'qil that he said: I heard Wahb bin Munabbih saying: "Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him) set out for the land of Sham, taking with him his wife Sarah and her brother Lut." And this is a third view (concerning Lut (peace be upon him)).

Muhammad bin Ishaq (may Allah have mercy on him) says: "The Prophet Lut (peace be upon him) is in fact Lut bin Faran bin Azar bin Nahur, and he was the nephew of Ibrahim (peace be upon him), the Friend of the Most Gracious. And al-Mu'tafikah (the towns that were overturned) were the people of Lut."
