Commentary on 26:155
وأجاب الله - تعالى - تضرعه ، فقال - سبحانه - : ( قَالَ هذه نَاقَةٌ لَّهَا شِرْبٌ وَلَكُمْ شِرْبُ يَوْمٍ مَّعْلُومٍ وَلاَ تَمَسُّوهَا بسواء فَيَأْخُذَكُمْ عَذَابُ يَوْمٍ عَظِيمٍ ) .قال ابن كثير : ثم إنهم اقترحوا عليه آية يأتيهم بها ، ليعلموا صدقه بما جاءهم به من ربهم ، فطلبوا منه أن يخرج لهم الآن من صخرة عندهم ناقة عُشرَاء من صفتها كذا وكذا . فعند ذلك أخذ عليهم صالح العهود والمواثيق ، لئن أجابهم إلى ما سألوا ليؤمنن به ، فأنعموا بذلك - أى : قالوا نعم - فقام نبى الله صالح فصلى ، ثم دعا ربه أن يجيبهم على سؤالهم ، فانفطرت تلك الصخرة التى أشاروا إليها . عن ناقة عشراء . على الصفة التى وصفوها . فآمن بعضهم وكفر أكثرهم .
