What was the miracle of Mount Thawr?

SHAFAQNA – When emigrating from Mecca towards Medina, one night in the middle of his journey, the Prophet of Islam (PBUH) took refuge in the cave of Mount Thawr in order to stay safe from his enemies and disbelievers. Allah (SWT) sent a pair pigeons to set up a nest on the entrance to the cave and lay eggs, as well as sending a spider to spin a web there. When Soraqah ibn Malik and other enemies were looking for the Prophet (PBUH) and reached that cave, saw that scene and said: If anyone had entered this cave, these eggs would have been broken and the spider web would have also been ripped apart, and consequently they decided to return from there [1].
