Khalid Ibn Al-Waleed (may Allah be pleased with him) related that one day he found a sodomite committing such a practice. Then, Abu Bakr consulted the other Companions (may Allah bless them all). Ali Ibn Abi Talib said, “This sin was only done by Lut’s people, and we knew how they were punished by Allah, the Almighty. I think he should be burnt.” Therefore, Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) sent a message to Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) ordering him to burn the sodomite. Then Khalid (may Allah be pleased with him) burnt him. ‘Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said, “Whoever allows someone else to fornicate with him, he will be afflicted by the appetite of a woman and will be an accursed Satan in his grave until the day of Judgement.”

Allah, Most High, recounts in His Book the story of Lut’s people in several positions. Allah, the Almighty says, {When Our decree issued, We turned (the cities) upside down, and rained down on them brimstones hard as baked clay, spread, layer on layer, marked from thy Lord; nor are they ever far from those who do wrong!”} (Hud: 82-83)
This abode is not far from those who do wrong amongst our nation if they committed the same sin. Therefore, the Prophet (peace be upon him) said, “What I fear most is that my nation may follow the crime of Lut’s people.” (Reported by At- Tirmidhi)
The Prophet (peace be upon him) also said, “May Allah curse him who does what Lut’s people did.” (Reported by At- Tirmidhi) He said it twice.
