Explanation

Hazrat Saleh (A.S) was sent to the people of Thamud, who demanded a miracle to prove his prophethood. In response, Allah caused a miraculous she-camel to emerge from a rock, which served as a clear sign for the disbelievers. The people were instructed not to harm the camel, but they defied the command and killed it, leading to their destruction by divine punishment.

Good to know

The people of Thamud were known for carving homes into mountains and were successors to the people of Aad. The miraculous she-camel had a designated day to drink water, and the people had their own day, as commanded by Allah. When the disbelievers hamstrung the camel, they were given three days before a severe earthquake and thunderbolt annihilated them.
