حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ عِيَاضٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَخْبَرَهُ " أَنَّ النَّاسَ نَزَلُوا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضَ ثَمُودَ الْحِجْرَ فَاسْتَقَوْا مِنْ بِئْرِهَا وَاعْتَجَنُوا بِهِ " فَأَمَرَهُمْ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يُهَرِيقُوا مَا اسْتَقَوْا مِنْ بِئْرِهَا وَأَنْ يَعْلِفُوا الْإِبِلَ الْعَجِينَ ، وَأَمَرَهُمْ أَنْ يَسْتَقُوا مِنَ الْبِئْرِ الَّتِي كَانَتْ تَرِدُهَا النَّاقَةُ ، تَابَعَهُ أُسَامَةُ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ .
Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: The people landed at the land of Thamud called Al-Hijr along with Allah's Apostle and they took water from its well for drinking and kneading the dough with it as well. (When Allah's Apostle heard about it) he ordered them to pour out the water they had taken from its wells and feed the camels with the dough, and ordered them to take water from the well whence the she-camel (of Prophet Salih) used to drink.

Hadith Commentary:
➊
It is understood from this hadith that drawing water from and using the wells located in places where Allah’s punishment descended is disliked (makruh). It is also evident that there were multiple wells in that area; however, one well belonged to the relatives of the woman who had told her lover Qidar:
“This she-camel should be killed, as it is depleting the water of our well.”
So that wretched man killed the she-camel.
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) only permitted taking water from the well from which the she-camel of Prophet Salih (alayhis salam) used to drink.
➋
It is said that Qidar was born out of wedlock, and because he was born on the bed of Salif, he was attributed to him.
And Allah knows best.

Hadith Commentary:
The hadith of Sabrah has been connected (wasl) by Tabarani and Abu Nu‘aym, and the narration of Abu al-Shamus has been connected by Tabarani and Ibn Mandah, and the narration of Abu Dharr has been connected by Bazzar.
Since Allah’s punishment descended at this place, the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade the use of its water, lest hearts become hardened or some other illness arise from it.

Hadith Commentary:
The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade drinking the water from the well at the place of Hijr because it was an accursed location, and a people had been subjected to punishment there. It was feared that, due to this water, people might become hard-hearted or be afflicted with some physical illness.
