Sura 91
Aya 13
13
فَقالَ لَهُم رَسولُ اللَّهِ ناقَةَ اللَّهِ وَسُقياها

Muhammad Asad

although God's apostle had told them, "It is a she-camel belonging to God, so let her drink [and do her no harm]!"1
  • Regarding this "she-camel belonging to God", see surah 7, note 57. For the particular reference to the injunction, "Let her drink", see 26:155 and the corresponding note 67. The formulation of this passage shows that the legend of the she-camel was well known in pre-Islamic Arabia.
