Quran 15:59 Tafsir Al-Jalalayn
all except the family of Lot; indeed we shall save them all of them because of their faith
Almuntakhab Fi Tafsir Alquran Alkarim
But not the family of Lut (Lot) all of whom will we save
Quran 15:59 Tafsir Ibn Kathir
He said: "What then is the business for which you have come, O messengers? ( 57 )They said: "We have been sent to a guilty people.
( 58 )"( All ) except the family of Lut, all of whom we are to save ( from the destruction ).
( 59 )"Except for his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind.
( 60 )
The Reason why the Angels came
Allah tells us that after Ibrahim had calmed down from the excitement of this good news, he started to ask them why they had come to him.
They said,
إِنَّا أُرْسِلْنَا إِلَىٰ قَوْمٍ مُّجْرِمِينَ
( We have been sent to a guilty people. ) meaning the people of Lut.
They told him that they were going to save the family of Lut from among those people, except for his wife, because she was one of those who were doomed.
Thus it was said,
إِلَّا امْرَأَتَهُ قَدَّرْنَا ۙ إِنَّهَا لَمِنَ الْغَابِرِينَ
( Except for his wife, of whom We have decreed that she shall be of those who remain behind. ) i.e., she was one of those who would be left behind and will be destroyed.

Tanwîr al-Miqbâs min Tafsîr Ibn ‘Abbâs
( (All ) save the family of Lot) his daughters Za’ura and Raytha and his righteous wife [ who was one of his wives ]. ( Them we shall deliver everyone ) from destruction,
Muhammad Taqiud-Din alHilali
"(All) except the family of Lout (Lot). Them all we are surely going to save (from destruction).
We try our best to translate, keeping in mind the Italian saying: "Traduttore, traditore", which means: "Translation is a betrayal of the original text".
