People of Thamud asked Salih (a) to present a [[miracle]] to prove his claims. According to hadiths, they asked him to bring out a she-camel from inside a mountain. God realized their request and a she-camel came out of the mountain. [[Salih (a)]] warned them not to harm the she-camel, but they slaughtered her. In Islamic sources, the animal is known as the [[She-Camel of Salih]]. Some Shiite exegetes of the [[Qur'an]] have appealed to a hadith from the Prophet (s) to analogize the slaughterer of the She-Camel of Salih (the wretched of the former people) with the killer of [[Imam 'Ali (a)]] (the wretched of the late people).

The Qur'an refers to 9 groups of people who allied to kill Salih (a) and his family. However, according to some accounts, there were 9 people who plotted the murder of Salih (a) and hid in a cave, but the cave collapsed and they died as a result.
