PROPHET: SALEH (عليه السلام)

PART: 11 (Chapter – 5)

THE PROPHET ﷺ PASSING THROUGH THE THAMUD’S RUINS

Imam Ahmad has narrated from Abdullah bin Umar saying: When the Prophet ﷺ came with the people to Tabuk, he camped at Al-Hijr near to the houses of Thamud. People drank from the same wells from which Thamud used to drink. They kneaded their flours from the water and prepared to cook. The Prophet ﷺ stopped them. So they threw what was being cooked in their pots and fed the kneaded flour to their camels. Then he departed from that place with them until he came to the well from which the she-camel used to drink. He forbade them to enter those places of people who were punished by Allah and said: “I fear that the same adversity may afflict you which afflicted them, so do not enter their places.”

In another narration it is said that when the Prophet ﷺ passed by their houses, he masked his face and hastened his camel and prohibited the entry of their houses except that one is crying. In another narration he said: “If you could not cry, then pretend that you are crying, fearing that you will be afflicted with what they were afflicted with.”

Imam Ahmad narrated from Muhammad biin Abu Kabshah who narrated from his father who said: When we went for the Battle of Tabuk, people rushed towards the houses of Thamud and entered into them. The news reached to the Prophet ﷺ and so he asked the people to gather at one place. I came to the Prophet ﷺ and he was holding his camel and saying: “You should not enter upon people with whom ALLĀH ﷻ became angry”. A man said: “We are only doing it as a wonder!” The Prophet ﷺ said: “Shall I not tell you about something more astonishing than that? 

It is a man from among yourselves informing you about those who were before you, and what is going to happen after you, so you should be steadfast and righteous. ALLĀH ﷻ does not give importance to your punishment and there will come some people who will not care about their deeds.”

It is said that the ages of the people of Thamud were very long. They would build a house of mud and their houses would fall apart before they die. That is why they hew out houses from stones in the mountains.
