But the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
The Saheeh International Quran Translation
وَمَا كَانَ جَوَابَ قَوْمِهِۦٓ إِلَّآ أَن قَالُوٓا۟ أَخْرِجُوهُم مِّن قَرْيَتِكُمْ إِنَّهُمْ أُنَاسٌ يَتَطَهَّرُونَBut the answer of his people was only that they said, "Evict them from your city! Indeed, they are men who keep themselves pure."
