It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) passed by the people of Thamud, he said: "Enter the places of the punished nations weeping. If you are not able to weep, then do not go there." Saying this, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) covered his face with his sheet, and at that time the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was mounted on his ride.
