Commentary

Allah Almighty is very Forbearing and Mild. He gives respite continuously to the sinners, so that they should understand. But when they do not refrain from wicked deeds in any case; then they are removed from the world, so that they may not mislead other people.

The people said to Prophet Salih (peace be upon him): Produce a camel from the rock before you if you are true. He (peace be upon him) addressed Allah Almighty in prayer and the camel came out. But even then, they did not believe.

Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) said to them: You demanded this camel. Leave her to feed freely in the earth wherever she wants. Your safety depends on her safety.

They passed some days silently, but later on, they were fed up and caused to slaughter her (the camel) through an immoral and ostentatious person. When Salih (peace be upon him) beheld, he warned the people: Now you are given respite of living only for three days. Then you will be seized by a torment of Allah Almighty and you will be ruined.
