The chieftains of his people, who were scornful, said unto those whom they
despised, unto such of them as believed: Know ye that Salih is one sent from
his Lord? They said: Lo! In that wherewith he hath been sent we are
believers.

Those who were scornful said: Lo! In that which ye believe we are
disbelievers.

Commentary
‘
The
folks of Prophets Noah and Hud (peace be upon Them) did not
demand any miracle from their Messengers. The first nation (of Noah) did not
attend Him saying: You have gone astray. The second nation ‘Aad (the
tribe of Hud) continued their work of mocking Him and saying Him
unwise.
But
the tribe Thamud called for an extraordinary thing from their
Prophet Salih (peace be upon Him) and considered that He (peace be
upon Him) will not be able to do it and they will set free His Command. They
could not understand that the human being cannot get rid so easily after coming
in the world.
There
is only one form of escaping that one should believe and obey the Messengers
(peace be upon Them). If one will run upon the paths self-invented by giving up
the Guidance of Messengers, certainly, he will suffer its retribution in the
world later or sooner, as well as, be answerable on the Day of Resurrection
also.
The
foolish people of Thamud demanded from Salih (peace
be upon Him): A she-camel should come out from this mountain. It was not
difficult for the Omnipotence of Allah Almighty. The she-camel came out and
they were involved in difficulty. Now they were responsible for its food and
safety.
There
was not sufficient quantity of food and water for the cattle in the mountain
area. The she-camel used to dissipate entire feed and water, and their own
cattle etc. remained hungry. However, necessitous people derived benefit that
the milk of she-camel was in sufficient quantity for them.
It is commanded that when the
chieftains saw the public that they have believed in Prophet Salih (peace
be upon Him) and now they were prosperous, they asked from the people: Do you
consider that the claim of Salih (peace be upon Him) is true
that He is a Messenger sent by Allah Almighty? They replied: Observing so much
big proof, you have known too that He is a Messenger (peace be upon Him), but
you are fraud, whereas we like the truth. We have faith in His Sayings
sincerely and believe that verily He (peace be upon Him) is Messenger of Allah
Almighty. No answer was visible from those disobedient chieftains, but they
tried to frighten in the presumption of their chieftainship and said: Believe
then. Your belief will be nothing. Salih (peace be upon Him)
cannot succeed as far as we don’t accept Him. Listen! We do not accept His
every word.
