What was the name of the animal the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, bought to emigrate upon?
The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, bought the she-camel of the Hijra, "Al-Qaswa," from Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq for its price. This was the she-camel that knelt in the courtyard of the two orphan boys. Historians differed regarding its name; the most famous name is "Al-Qaswa," while Ibn Ishaq mentioned it as "Al-Jad'a." Others combined these, stating that both are names for the same she-camel, with Al-Qaswa being a title and Al-Jad'a also being a title, and the Prophet's she-camel had no defect that would necessitate naming it Al-Jad'a.
