His saying, the Exalted and Majestic:

﴿He said: O my people! Have you considered, if I am on a clear proof from my Lord and He has granted me from Himself a mercy, then who will support me against Allah if I disobey Him? So you will not increase me except in loss﴾ ﴿And O my people! This is the she-camel of Allah for you as a sign. So let her graze in the land of Allah and do not touch her with harm, lest a near punishment should seize you﴾ ﴿So they hamstrung her. He said: Enjoy yourselves in your abode for three days; that is a promise not to be belied﴾

His saying: "Have you considered" is from the vision of the heart, meaning: Have you contemplated? The condition that follows and its response suffice for two objects of "Have you considered": and "the clear proof": is the evidence and certainty, and the "h" in "clear proof" is for emphasis. It is possible that it is a feminine marker, and "the mercy" in this verse is the prophethood and what is added to it. There is an omitted statement in the meaning: Does your doubt harm me or can your obedience benefit me, and similar to this is what is appropriate for the meaning of the verse.

And His saying: ﴿So you will not increase me except in loss﴾ means: What you give me in what I require from you of faith and your request for repentance is not for your own benefit, and it is from loss. The loss in this verse is only for them and within their scope. He added the increase to himself in that he is entitled to their statements, being entrusted with their faith, as if you say to someone you advise: "I want good for you and you want evil for me." So it is as if the clear aspect is: "And you want evil," but since you intended good and that is what is required, it is appropriate to add the increase to yourself.

And His saying, the Exalted: ﴿And O my people! This is the she-camel of Allah﴾, in this verse the mention of the beginning of the she-camel's matter is concise. This is because it has been narrated that his people requested from him a sign that would compel them to believe. So Allah, glorified and exalted is He, brought forth the she-camel from the mountain for them. It has been narrated that they proposed a specific time for the she-camel to emerge from that rock. It has been narrated that the mountain shook like a pregnant woman, and the rock split, and a she-camel with its calf emerged from it. It has been narrated that she emerged pregnant and gave birth after her emergence. Then Salih stopped them and said to them: ﴿This is the she-camel of Allah for you as a sign﴾, and the accusative of "sign" is in the state.

A group read: "You eat" in the jussive form as a response to the command. Another group read: "You eat" in the indicative form as a way of cutting off and resuming, or on the basis that it is the state of the pronoun in "Leave her." And His saying: ﴿And do not touch her with evil﴾ is general in terms of killing and otherwise. And His saying: ﴿Then a near punishment will seize you﴾ is by revelation from Allah to him that your people, if they kill the she-camel, a near punishment will come upon them shortly after the time of disobedience. It is the three days that Salih, peace be upon him, understood from the crying of the calf on the mountain called Al-Qarrah. He attributed the killing to all of them because the killer was among them and it was with their consent and collusion. The killer of her was Qudar. It has been narrated in the report of that that Allah revealed to Salih that your people will kill the she-camel and punishment will descend upon them at that time. He informed them of that, and they said: "We seek refuge with Allah from doing that." He said: "If you do not do that, it is likely that one will be born among you who will do it." And he told them: "The description of her killer is red, blue-eyed, and fair-haired." So they made the condition with the women and ordered them to check the children. Whoever had this description was killed. And there were two noble, respected men in the city, and this one had a son and that one had a daughter. They intermarried, and a child named Qudar was born between the two spouses, with the mentioned description. The authorities intended to kill him, but his grandfathers prevented him until he grew up. The one who killed her was with a sword in her shanks, and it was said: with an arrow in her udder, and her calf fled from that. He climbed a mountain called Al-Qarrah, and he cried three times. Salih said: "This is the appointment of three days for punishment." And he commanded them before the crying of the calf to seek him, hoping that they would reach him and the punishment would be averted from them by him. They attempted to ascend to him on the mountain, and the mountain rose in the sky until the birds could not reach it. At that time, the calf cried.

And His saying: ﴿In your dwelling﴾ is the plural of "Darah" as you say: "Sahat" and "Sah" and "Suh." From it is the saying of Umayyah ibn Abi al-Salt:

He has a caller in Mecca, shining brightly ∗∗∗ and another at his dwelling calling out.

And it is possible to call all the dwelling of the tribe a house. And the three days are a means of incapacitating, as people have measured it against the one judged and similar.

Qadi Abu Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, said: And that is, in my view, different because it is in the one judged and the debtor in the right of redemption and similar, it is an expansion. And here it is a stopping point on disgrace and punishment. And Qatadah narrated from Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with both of them, that he said: "If you had climbed Al-Qarrah, you would have seen the bones of the calf."
