Naqah

Definition

The she-camel — a miraculous sign sent by Allah at the demand of Thamud. This camel emerged from solid rock as proof of Salih's prophethood, and the people were commanded to share their water supply with her. Their decision to hamstring and kill her sealed their destruction.

As understood in the classical tradition of Ibn Kathir and the scholars of his school.
