سورة القمر

Ali ibn Ibrahim (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَهُمْ [Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them] means it is a test for them.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah have mercy on him): إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا النَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَهُمْ [Surely We are going to send the she-camel as a trial for them] means: We are sending the she-camel by bringing it into being in accordance with what they requested, so that it may be a miracle for Salih (peace be upon him), and to cut off their excuse, and to be a means of trial and testing for them ... They were harsh with Salih (peace be upon him) and asked him to bring forth for them from a rock a red-haired she-camel pregnant in her tenth month, which would [immediately upon emerging] give birth. Then she would come to their [spring of] water and drink from it; then she would return to them milk equivalent to that [water she had drunk]. Consequently Allah the Glorified said: "We are sending the she-camel, just as they requested, as a trial for them."
