Commentary:
The Prophet Salih kept the she-camel for travels. He rode on it from place to place to preach the Divine Message. Putting obstacles in the way of its free movements was tantamount to placing impediments in the way of Salih himself and preventing him from discharging the sacred duty entrusted to him. In fact, every Divine Reformer is ناقة الله (God’s she-camel).
The Prophet Salih rode on his she-camel from place to place to preach the Divine Message. Putting obstacles in the way of the camel’s free movements was tantamount to placing impediments in the way of Salih himself and preventing him from discharging the sacred duty entrusted to him by God. In a sense Salih, like every Divine Reformer, was God’s she-camel.
