'''Nāqa of Ṣāliḥ''' (Arabic: {{ia|نَاقَة صَالح}}), (She-Camel of prophet Salih (a)) was the [[miracle]] of [[prophet Salih (a)]] which is stated in [[Quran]] as Naqa Allah (she-Camel of God). The camel miraculously came out of the middle of a mountain as disbelievers requested. | |||
According to Islamic narrations, the camel of Salih was sent to the tribe of Thamud and they were tested by God. As the water of the stream in their region was dedicated to the camel for one day and people could use it the day after, also they were prohibited from hurting the camel. However after a while the camel was killed by some people and other people appreciated the action. As a result, God punished the tribe of Thamud and eliminated all the disbelievers. | According to [[Islamic]] narrations, the camel of Salih was sent to the tribe of [[Thamud]] and they were tested by [[God]].

Naqa of Salih was a she-camel which was created by a divine miracle in order to prove prophethood of Salih (a) to people of Thamud. The camel is mentioned in [[Quran]] in several [[verse]]s and it is generally called "Naqat Allah" (The She-Camel of God). The term "God" which is added after Naqat, represents the significance of the camel. The importance of the camel was because of the special way of creation of her; a divine miracle. And the tribe of Thamud were tested by the camel as well. | Naqa of Salih was a she-camel which was created by a divine miracle in order to prove [[prophethood]] of Salih (a) to people of Thamud.
