Tafsir

After Allah had given Saleh a sign that was in the form of the she-camel which Allah extracted from the rock, he said to them, “This is a she-camel which can be seen and felt, it will have a share of the water as you also have a known share. It will not drink on the day scheduled for you, neither shall you make your livestock drink on the day scheduled for it.”
