A hadith  preserved in the Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī collection narrates that the Islamic Prophet Muhammed called Hegra "the land of Thamūd" and did not allow his troops to drink from its wells or to use its water, and to never enter its ruins "unless weeping, lest occur to you what happened to them." The stone constructions of Hegra are actually mostly from the Nabataean period, and especially the first century CE. The ninth-century Muslim scholar Ibn Saʿd believed that the Thamūd were the Nabateans.  Some Islamic sources claim that the Banu Thaqif tribe, an Arab tribe from Ta'if in the period of Prophet Muhammed , was descended from a survivor of the Thamūd (sometimes a slave of Ṣāliḥ).

The ninth-century Muslim scholar Ibn Saʿd believed that the Thamūd were the Nabateans. A poem attributed to Umayya ibn Abi-ṣ-Ṣalt, a Meccan contemporary of Muhammad who refused to accept Islam, contains a reference to the camel and Thamūd. In Umayya's account, there is no Ṣāliḥ. Instead, the camel is killed by a certain "accursed Aḥmar", and the camel's foal stands upon a rock and curses Thamūd, leading to the tribe's annihilation except for a single lame woman who is spared to spread the message of the destruction. Whether the poem is genuinely by Umayya or is a post-Islamic creation is a matter of debate.
