Imam Ali (a) sent three camels with a guide to the cave. He had hidden himself in the cave of Thaur to protect himself against the enemies who wanted to kill him. The Prophet, tired of the tortures by the disbelieving Quraish, decided to migrate from Mecca to Madina. It had also served well in the cause of Islam. It was this same animal which had fulfilled in excellent manner the task of conveying the Prophet of Islam from Mecca to Madina. Hence the Arabs have named this animal as the 'Ship of the Desert'. It can walk in the hot desert under scorching sun for days and days without feeling tired or thirsty and arrive at the intended destination with his rider - the traveller. The reason is that it has been created with certain special features which are not to be found in any other animal. It has shown to be dependable and sturdy animal for desert transport. The camel has, since olden times, proved to be a very useful animal for desert journeys.
