Surah 7 Verse 73
He was sent to Thamud. In their discussions with Prophet Salih (alayhis salaam), the people challenged him to ask Allah to bring a she-camel from the rocks. This miracle happened in front of their eyes. This is the camel that is referred to in this verse.
(Verse 74) Thamud came after A'ad. They built their houses inside mountains. Was this in response to the way A'ad were destroyed?
(Verse 75-76) As is the common way, the poor people were the first to follow Salih (alayhis salaam). But the leaders were arrogant and openly said that they did not believe.
(Verse 77) Inspite of being told to leave the camel free to roam and eat and drink, they slaughtered the camel. They were openly arrogant and challenged Salih(alayhis salaam) for the punishment he warned them against.
The punishment came in the form of a vigorous shaking, translated as earthquake. They died instantly in what position they were at the time.
(Verse 79)Why does Salih(alayhis salaam) talk to them? Because they can hear. Prophet Muhammad sallallahu alaihe wassallam also talked to the deceased leaders on the battlefied saying something like 'They can hear but they cannot respond'
