The Prohibition · Verse 10 of 12
ضَرَبَ اللَّهُ مَثَلًا لِلَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا امْرَأَتَ نُوحٍ وَامْرَأَتَ لُوطٍ ۖ كَانَتَا تَحْتَ عَبْدَيْنِ مِنْ عِبَادِنَا صَالِحَيْنِ فَخَانَتَاهُمَا فَلَمْ يُغْنِيَا عَنْهُمَا مِنَ اللَّهِ شَيْئًا وَقِيلَ ادْخُلَا النَّارَ مَعَ الدَّاخِلِينَ
Abdul Mannan Omar
Allâh compares those who disbelieve to the wife of Noah and the wife of Lot. They were both under (the wedlock of) two of Our righteous servants but acted treacherously towards them both. So they (- Noah and Lot) could do nothing to save them from (the punishment of) Allâh. And it was said to them, `Enter you both into the (Hell) Fire along with those (of your category) who enter therein.
Abdullah Yusuf Ali
Allah sets forth, for an example to the Unbelievers, the wife of Noah and the wife of Lut: they were (respectively) under two of our righteous servants, but they were false to their (husbands), and they profited nothing before Allah on their account, but were told: "Enter ye the Fire along with (others) that enter!î
Ahmed Ali
God advances the example of Noah´s wife and the wife of Lot for those who do not believe. They were married to Our two pious devotees, but they were unfaithful to them, and even (the apostles) could not avail them in the least against God; and it was said to them: "Enter Hell with those (who are condemned) to enter it."

66:10Khânatâ-humâخَانَتَاهُمَا means variously, “They acted treacherously; they defrauded; they opposed; they spoke against” (Lisân, Lane, Tâj). Here, the wives of two Prophets are mentioned who opposed the Divine messages of the Prophets of their time. A disbeliever is compared with the wives of Noah and of Lot, who acted treacherously so that the companionship of righteous men—even of Prophets of Allâh—did not benefit them. This shows that even the near ones of virtuous people cannot escape the consequences of their evil deeds.
