12. His name was Qaidar bin Salif who had destroyed the she-camel through the help of eight people. Qaidar was in love with a woman named Uzza and he did this despicable deed at her instigation. From these, emerge a few issues:

Women are a huge form of mischief. The first murder, that of Qabil, was perpetrated on account of a woman.

2. In transgression, the infidels are different, some are severe transgressors, and others are of a lesser nature.

3. These animals, which are linked to Allah Almighty, are full of greatness and causing harm to them is an act of utter wretchedness and ill luck. The calf of Saamari was entitled to contempt and destruction, as it was linked to the infidels. But, for this she- camel, veneration was obligatory. The Holy Prophet told Hazrat Alli (May Allah be pleased with him) that in the previous people, the killer of the she-camel of Hazrat Saleh (On whom be peace) was the most despicable wretch, and in my Ummah, your murderer is the most despicable wretch (Tafseer e Saawi, Azizi); because that she-camel was the nvisible manifestation of the Prophethood of Hazrat Saleh, while Hazrat Alli is the visible manifestation of the Holy Prophet's Prophethood. Because the baby of the she-came! was also destroyed. Divine punishment had been inflicted on those people. But the progeny of Hazrat Alli will remain until the Day of Judgement, for this reason the present is not destroyed. The Sayyeds are a means of safety for the world (Tafseer Azizi).
