When they reached the mountain, they said: O Saleh!
When they reached the mountain, they said: O Saleh! Ask your Lord to bring out from this mountain a red, pure and pregnant she-camel right now. Saleh said: You have asked me something too hard for me yet so easy for my Lord. Then, he asked God what they had demanded. At this moment, the mountain cleaved and people were about to go mad when a horrible sound was heard.
فَقَالَ لَهُمْ صَالِحُ سَلُوني مَا شِئْتُمْ، فَقَالُوا: انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلى هَذا الْجَبَلِ- وَجَبَلٌ قَريبٌ مِنْهُ-حَتّى نَسْأَلَكَ عِنْدَهُ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقَ وَانْطَلَقُوا مَعَهُ فَلَمَّا انْتَهُوا إِلى الْجَبَلِ قَالُوا: يَا صَالِحُ اسْأَلْ ربَّكَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ لَنا السَّاعَةَ مِنْ هذا الجَبَلِ نَاقَةً حَمْراءَ شَقْراءَ وَبْراءَ عَشْراءَ - ....
قَالَ قَدْ سَأَلْتُمُوني شَيئًا يَعْظُمُ عَليَّ وَيُهوَّنُ عَلى رَبّي فَسَأَل اللَّه ذَلِكَ فَانْصَدَعَ الْجَبَلُ صَدْعًا كَادَتْ تَطيرُ مِنْهُ الْعُقُولُ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا صَوْتَهُ
