15863 - Muhammad ibn al-'Abbas, the freed slave of the Banu Hashim, narrated to us, [saying]: 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Salamah narrated to us, [saying]: Muhammad ibn Ishaq narrated to us, from Ya'qub ibn 'Utbah ibn al-Mughirah ibn al-Akhnas, that he narrated to him that they observed the hillock when Salih, peace be upon him, prayed to Allah as he prayed, that it should be brought forth with the she-camel, like the laboring of a pregnant one with her offspring. The hillock moved, then it shook, and it split open, revealing a she-camel as they had described—hollow, woolly, and pregnant—with a magnitude between her flanks that no one knows save Allah. Then Janda' ibn 'Amr ibn Labid—who was the companion of their idols—and Rabab ibn Sam'an ibn Jalhas—who was their soothsayer—believed in him. They were among the nobles of Thamud, and they turned Thamud and its nobles away from Islam and from entering into the mercy and salvation to which Salih had invited them. Janda' had a cousin called Shihab ibn Khalaf ibn Mahlat ibn Labid ibn Jawwas, and he wished to embrace Islam, but those individuals forbade him from doing so, so he obeyed them; he was among the nobles and distinguished men of Thamud.
