The Disbelievers Always Losers
[11:63] He said, “O my people, what if I have solid proof from my Lord, and mercy from Him? Who would support me against GOD, if I disobeyed Him? You can only augment my loss.
[11:64] “O my people, this is GOD’s camel to serve as a proof for you. You shall let her eat from GOD’s earth, and do not touch her with any harm, lest you incur an immediate retribution.”
[11:65] They slaughtered her. He then said, “You have only three days to live. This is a prophecy that is inevitable.”
[11:66] When our judgment came, we saved Sãleh and those who believed with him by mercy from us, from the humiliation of that day. Your Lord is the Most Powerful, the Almighty.
[11:67] Those who transgressed were annihilated by the disaster, leaving them in their homes, dead.
[11:68] It was as if they never lived there. Indeed, Thamûd have rejected their Lord. Absolutely, Thamûd have incurred their annihilation.
In 11:67 it says that they were “leaving them in their homes, dead” and in 11:68 it says “as if they never lived there”
How were the people of Saleh annihilated?
[7:78] Consequently, the quake annihilated them, leaving them dead in their homes.
[51:41] In ‘Ãd (there is a lesson). We sent upon them disastrous wind. [51:42] Anything that it came upon was utterly destroyed. [51:43] In Thamûd (there is a lesson). They were told, “Enjoy temporarily.” [51:44] They rebelled against the command of their Lord. Consequently, the lightning struck them as they looked. [51:45] They could never get up, nor were they helped.
Sãleh
[27:45] We have sent to Thamûd their brother Sãleh, saying, “You shall worship GOD.” But they turned into two feuding factions.
Lightning could have taken their life while the earthquake wiped them out…

What is the miracle of sending a camel?
Old Kind of Miracles Made Obsolete
[17:59] What stopped us from sending the miracles is that the previous generations have rejected them. For example, we showed Thamûd the camel, a profound (miracle), but they transgressed against it. We sent the miracles only to instill reverence.
Sãleh
[7:73] To Thamûd we sent their brother Sãleh. He said, “O my people, worship GOD; you have no other god beside Him. Proof has been provided for you from your Lord: here is GOD’s camel, to serve as a sign for you. Let her eat from GOD’s land, and do not touch her with any harm, lest you incur a painful retribution.
