What is the wisdom in not mentioning "سلام على" for Lut and Yunus in Surat As-Saffat, as it was mentioned for the other prophets such as Musa, Ibrahim, and Nuh?

The stories of Lot and Jonah (peace be upon them) are not concluded with (وَتَرَكْنَا عَلَيْهِ فِي الْآخِرِينَ - And We left for him [favorable mention] among later generations) to differentiate their status from that of the bearers of major Shariahs and the Ulul-Azm (Prophets of Strong Will) among the Messengers. This is sufficient, given the comprehensive salutation to all Messengers mentioned at the end of the : (وَسَلَامٌ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِينَ - And peace be upon the Messengers), and because their ذكر (mention) is close to it.
