The Holy Quran 54:27 — Surah Al-Qamar

Arabic text

إِنَّا مُرْسِلُوا۟ ٱلنَّاقَةِ فِتْنَةً لَّهُمْ فَٱرْتَقِبْهُمْ وَٱصْطَبِرْ

Translation

(When the Thamud requested Saalih عليه الصلاة والسلام to bring a pregnant camel from a rock, he made du'aa to Allaah Who said to him,) "We shall certainly send the (she) camel as a test to them (to see which of them will then believe that you are a Nabi and who will not) so watch them and be patient."

Tafsir (excerpt) — Tafsir Usmani

The trial of the people of Thamud by means of the she-camel: that is, in accordance with their demand, We are bringing forth a she-camel from the rock and sending it; through it, it will be tested who heeds the word of Allah and the Messenger and who follows the desires of the self. That is, keep watching what the outcome will be.
