[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were (21:13)

Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim

In irony they were told-: do not flee but go back to your lustful life and to your dwellings; you may have much to answer for

Tafseer Tafheem-ul-Quran by Syed Abu-al-A'la Maududi

(21:13) (Then it was said to them:) "Do not run away: go back to the same life of luxury and the houses where you were making merry: perhaps you may be asked about it." *14

[Some angels said], "Do not flee but return to where you were meaning

*14) This is a very meaningful sentence. It may mean:
(1) "Examine this scourge minutely so that if someone asks you about it, you may be able to give an accurate account of it."
(2) "Hold your grand meetings as usual: perhaps your servants may come with folded hands before you to receive orders."
(3) "Hold your councils as before, perhaps people may still come to ask for your wise counsels."
