" ### Shabbir Ahmed He said, "Behold, this she-camel. (She represents the weak and poor). She being (ownerless) has the right to drink at the well, just as you have the right to water (your flock) at the time of watering. ### Sam Gerrans — The Qur'an: A Complete Revelation He said: “This is a she-camel; to her a drink and to you a drink on a day appointed. ### The Monotheist Group — The Quran: A Monotheist Translation He said: "This is a female camel, for her is a share of water, and for you is a share of water, each on an appointed day." ### Rashad Khalifa — The Final Testament He said, "Here is a camel that will drink only on a day that is assigned to her; a day that is different from your specified days of drinking. ### Mohamed Ahmed - Samira (Saleh) said: "Here is a she-camel.

Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) could not have produced before the people an ordinary she-camel as a proof of his Prophethood because that would not have satisfied them. At other places in the Quran it has been clearly referred to as a miracle. In Surahs Al-Aaraf and Houd it has been said: Here is Allah’s she camel, a sign for you. (Surahs Al-Aaraf, Ayat 73). In Surah Bani Israil the same thing has been stated more emphatically: And nothing has hindered Us from sending signs except that the former people refused to acknowledge them as such. (For example) We sent the she-camel as an open sign to Thamud but they treated her with cruelty; whereas We send signs only by way of warning. (verse 59). Moreover, the challenge given to the wicked people of Thamud, after presenting the she-camel before them, was such that it could only be given after presenting a miracle. - [2] That is, one day the she-camel will drink water all alone at your wells and springs, and one day you and your animals will take water, and this arrangement will not be violated in any way. There could hardly be a greater challenge for the people of Arabia, for taking of water had been the foremost cause of feuds and fights among them, which mostly resulted in bloodshed, even loss of life. As such, the challenge given by Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) was indeed a challenge to the whole nation, which could not be acceptable unless the people were sure that the challenger had a great power at his back. But Prophet Salih (peace be upon him) threw this challenge all by himself without any worldly power behind him, and the whole nation not only received it quietly, but also abided by it submissively for quite some days. ### Abdel Khalek Himmat — Al- Muntakhab "This", he said, "is a she-camel which is entitled to a share of the drinking water just as you are entitled to a share. She is to have her share on a certain day and you have yours on an alternate day". ### Bijan Moeinian He said: "Here is the camel [with the miraculous nature as you see. ] she will drink on given days assigned to her and you will use the water well on the days assigned to you." ### Al-Hilali & Khan He said: "Here is a she-camel: it has a right to drink (water), and you have a right to drink (water) (each) on a day, known. ### Abdullah Yusuf Ali He said: "Here is a she-camel: she has a right of watering, and ye have a right of watering, (severally) on a day appointed. ### Mustafa Khattab — The Clear Quran Ṣâliḥ said, "Here is a camel.
