  The People of the City arrive upon the Angels, thinking that they are Men

  Allah tells us about how Lut's people came to him when they found out about his handsome guests, and they came happily rejoicing about them.This is what Lut said to them before he knew that his guests were messengers from Allah, as mentioned in Surat Hud, but here (in this Surah), we have already been told that they are messengers from Allah, and this is followed by an account of Lut's people coming and his exchange with them. However, here the conjunction (wa, meaning "and'') does not imply the sequence of events, especially since there is something to indicate that this is not the case.
