64. 1. This is the same she-camel which, at their request, Allah brought forth before their eyes from a mountain or a rock. Therefore, it is called (Allah's she-camel) because it appeared purely by Allah's command, miraculously, in the aforementioned extraordinary manner. They were strictly instructed regarding her that they should not harm her, otherwise they would fall into the grip of Allah's punishment.
