حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ خُثَيْمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ، قَالَ: لَمَّا مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِالْحِجْرِ، قَالَ: " لَا تَسْأَلُوا الْآيَاتِ، وَقَدْ سَأَلَهَا قَوْمُ صَالِحٍ، فَكَانَتْ تَرِدُ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ، وَتَصْدُرُ مِنْ هَذَا الْفَجِّ، فَعَتَوْا عَنْ أَمْرِ رَبِّهِمْ، فَعَقَرُوهَا، وَكَانَتْ تَشْرَبُ مَاءَهُمْ يَوْمًا، وَيَشْرَبُونَ لَبَنَهَا يَوْمًا، فَعَقَرُوهَا، فَأَخَذَتْهُمْ صَيْحَةٌ أَهْمَدَ اللهُ مَنْ تَحْتَ أَدِيمِ السَّمَاءِ مِنْهُمْ، إِلَّا رَجُلًا وَاحِدًا كَانَ فِي حَرَمِ اللهِ "، قِيلَ: مَنْ هُوَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: " هُوَ أَبُو رِغَالٍ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ مِنَ الْحَرَمِ أَصَابَهُ مَا أَصَابَ قَوْمَهُ " (١)، ،

It is narrated from Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that once the Prophet (ﷺ) passed by the ruins of the people of Thamud and said: "Do not ask for miracles, because the people of Salih also demanded it (upon which Allah sent a she-camel according to their request). That she-camel would come from this path and leave from that path, but the people of Thamud disobeyed the command of their Lord and hamstrung her. Although that she-camel would drink the water of one day, and on the other day they would drink her milk. But when they hamstrung her, a heavenly cry seized them, and under the shadow of the sky not a single person remained alive except the man who was in the Sacred Sanctuary (Haram). Someone asked: 'O Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), who was he?' The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'He was Abu Righal. When he left the Haram, the same punishment befell him that had come upon his people.'"
