His complexion was green,* he was of a middling stature, had black eyes, a symmetrical body, long legs and arms. He was called Lôt because Ebrahim loved him, and commentators say: He was called Lôt because his love was fixed in Ebrahim’s heart—namely, connected therewith.* From this we gather that his lordship was originally called by another name unknown to us.
His law was conformable to that of Ebrahim. He was extremely pious, liberal, patient and hospitable. He cultivated the soil and was an agriculturist. One of his miracles was that he produced rain without clouds; and another, that he slept on a stone, upon which he left an impression of his blessed body; certain persons who had seen this stone became his followers. The time during which he was engaged in his mission amounted, according to one tradition, to twenty, and according to another, to thirty-seven years; nor is the length of his life known. His tomb is in the vicinity of the sepulchres of Ebrahim, Sarah, and Esahâq; the blessings of Allah be upon them all!
