She-camel as a clear sign to Thamud people

And to the Thamūd [We sent] their brother Ṣāliḥ. He said, "O my people, worship Allāh; you have no deity other than Him. There has come to you clear evidence from your Lord. This is the she-camel of Allāh [sent] to you as a sign. So leave her to eat within Allāh's land and do not touch her with harm, lest there seize you a painful punishment.

And nothing has prevented Us from sending signs [i.e., miracles] except that the former peoples denied them. And We gave Thamūd the she-camel as a visible sign, but they wronged her. And We send not the signs except as a warning.

He said, "This is a she-camel.¹ For her is a [time of] drink, and for you is a [time of] drink, [each] on a known day.

And do not touch her with harm, lest you be seized by the punishment of a terrible day."

But they hamstrung her and so became regretful.

And the punishment seized them. Indeed in that is a sign, but most of them were not to be believers.
