It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that in the year of the Battle of Tabuk, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) camped with his companions (may Allah be pleased with them) near the ruins and houses of the destroyed people of Thamud. The people drank water from the wells from which the people of Thamud used to drink, kneaded dough with it, and even put meat in pots to cook. When the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) found out, he ordered the people to overturn the pots and feed the kneaded dough to the camels. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) moved on from there and camped at the well from which the she-camel of Salih (peace be upon him) used to drink water. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade entering the ruins of the punished people and said: "I fear that the same punishment may befall you as befell them, so do not go there."
