73. And to (the tribe
of) Thamud (We sent) their brother Salih. He
said: O my people! Serve Allah, ye have no other God save Him. A wonder from
your Lord hath come unto you. Lo! This is the she-camel of Allah, a token
unto you; so let her feed in Allah’s earth, and touch her not with hurt lest
painful torment seize you.

Commentary
‘
Samuuda –
it is name of a nation, which lived in that central area
between Yemen and Hejaz, name of which is Hajar.
After the destruction of the tribe ‘Aad, prosperity was acquired by
this nation. These people were of strong stature, tall and healthy also like
the people of ‘Aad. And those entire evils had been spread into
them too, which exist in the proud of power.
Saaliha –
He (Salih) (peace be upon Him) was a good-natured individual of the same
nation (Thamud). Allah Almighty chose Him as His Messenger and appointed
Him to admonish the people of Thamud.
Naaqa-tUllaahi –
(she-camel of Allah), Prophet Salih (peace be upon Him) caused
to understand His nation that it is not good to pride on wealth, community,
stature or equipage. He (peace be upon Him) said to them: Allah Almighty has
forbidden you from insolence, idol-worship and keeping on fulfilling the personal
desires like animals. And He has determined rules for your dwelling in the
world like human beings. His (peace be upon Him) people mocked after hearing
His words and said: If a she-camel will come out from interior portion of this
mount in front of us, and immediately after coming out a baby-camel is born
from it of the same height, then we can listen to you. Prophet Salih (peace
be upon Him) prayed for it in the Court of Allah Almighty and the she-camel
came out from the mountain, and before them she delivered a baby camel, which
was like herself. Prophet Salih (peace be upon Him) named it Naaqa-tUllaahi.
It is
commanded by God Almighty: We sent a Man {Salih (peace be upon
Him)} towards the nation of Thamud, Who was from their
relationship, to admonish them. He (peace be upon Him) caused to know them that
they should worship Allah. Save Him there is none worthy of worship for anyone.
He (peace be upon Him) said: the token, which you wished, Allah Almighty has
sent. Now there should be no reason of any doubt to you in My Sayings. That
token is this she-camel, which has come out from the mountain with the
Omnipotence of Allah Almighty before you. Let her feed in the land freely.
Behold! Touch her not with hurt. Allah Almighty has entrusted her to you. Your
safety is in her safety. If you afflicted her, it would not be well for you.
You would be punished very severely.
