Footprint of the camel of Prophet Saleh
Prophet Salih’s(pbuh) camel was killed at this place
Littile Story:
Muslim writers have elaborated upon the story of Saleh and the
she-camel. Early Islamic tradition often involved a motif of the camel
miraculously emerging from stone, often accompanied by a calf, and the
production of milk from the camel. Al-Tabari states that Saleh summoned his
people to a mountain, where they witnessed the rock miraculously split open,
revealing the camel. The she-camel had a young calf. Saleh informed the Thamud
that the older camel was to drink from their water source on one day, and they
were to drink from it the next day. On days when they were not allowed to drink
water, the camel provided them with milk. But God informed Saleh that a boy who
would hamstring the camel would soon be born to the tribe, and that child was
evil and grew unnaturally fast. The camel was indeed killed, and its calf cried
out three times, signaling that the Thamud would be destroyed in three days.
Their faces turned yellow, then red, then black, and they died on the third day
as predicted.
