Ṣáliḥ
___________________
Pronunciation: sol-eh
___________________
Prophet of God who appeared before Abraham and who was sent to the tribe of T̲h̲amúd in Arabia. He exhorted the people to believe in God and to stop worshipping idols, and warned them that if they did not respond to his message, they would be struck by a calamity and would be punished by God. Eventually an earthquake wiped out the whole tribe except Ṣáliḥ and his followers.
[BD 200]
