Saleh. The Thamûdites proposed that Sáleh should, by miracle, prove that Jehovah was a God superior to their own. Prince Jonda said he would believe it, if Sâleh made a camel, big with young, come out of a certain rock which he pointed out. Sâleh did so, and Jonda was converted.

(The Thamûdites were idolaters, and Sâleh the prophet was sent to bring them back to the worship of Jehovah.)

Saleh asked the king of Samandal, another under-sea emperor, to give his daughter Giauha’rê in marriage to prince Beder, son of Gulnarê; but the proud, passionate despot ordered the prince’s head to be cut off for such presumptuous insolence. However, Saleh made his escape, invaded Samandal, took the king prisoner, and the marriage between Beder and the princess Giauharê was duly celebrated.—Arabian Nights (“Beder and Giauharê”).

And she lives in our alley.
