Transliteration:( Musawwamatan 'inda rabbika lilmusrifeen )
34. Sent forth from your Lord marked [35] excesses." for those guilty of excesses."
The stones of baked clay were sent as a specific punishment for those who were guilty of excesses.
The term "marked" indicates that these punishments were tailored specifically for individuals who had committed great excesses, particularly in their immoral behavior.
The people of Lut (Peace be upon him) had exceeded all bounds in their wickedness, and as a result, their punishment was also extreme and precise.
This serves as a reminder that when people indulge in excesses—especially immoral acts—Allah’s justice will inevitably be exacted upon them.

(51:34) marked by your Lord upon those who go beyond the limits.”[32]
