Saeed bin Musayyib narrates that Qaswa was the she-camel of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). Whenever she participated in a race, she would always come first; no one could surpass her. Once, during a race, she lagged behind, and this caused great distress to the companions. On this occasion, the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "When people attain heights, sometimes Allah brings them down as well (the narrator is unsure if these are the exact words:) when He wants to show someone as elevated."
