The story of the Messenger ﷺ with Abū Bakr in the cave
[ قِصَّةُ الرَّسُولِ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي الْغَارِ ] قَالَ ابْنُ إسْحَاقَ: فَلَمَّا أَجْمَعَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْخُرُوجَ، أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرِ بْنِ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ، فَخَرَجَا مِنْ خَوْخَةٍ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فِي ظَهْرِ بَيْتِهِ، ثُمَّ عَمَدَ إلَى غَارٍ بِثَوْرٍ - جَبَلٍ بِأَسْفَلِ مَكَّةَ - فَدَخَلَاهُ، وَأَمَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ابْنَهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ أَنْ يَتَسَمَّعَ لَهُمَا مَا يَقُولُ النَّاسُ فِيهِمَا نَهَارَهُ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِيهِمَا إذَا أَمْسَى بِمَا يَكُونُ فِي ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمِ مِنْ الْخَبَرِ؛ وَأَمَرَ عَامِرَ بْنَ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَاهُ أَنْ يَرْعَى غَنَمَهُ نَهَارَهُ، ثُمَّ يُرِيحُهَا عَلَيْهِمَا، يَأْتِيهِمَا إذَا أَمْسَى فِي الْغَارِ. وَكَانَتْ أَسَمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ تَأْتِيهِمَا مِنْ الطَّعَامِ إذَا أَمْسَتْ بِمَا يُصْلِحُهُمَا. قَالَ ابْنُ هِشَامٍ: وَحَدَّثَنِي بَعْضُ أَهْلِ الْعِلْمِ، أَنَّ الْحَسَنَ بْنَ أَبِي الْحَسَنِ الْبَصْرِيَّ قَالَ: انْتَهَى رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ إلَى الْغَارِ لَيْلًا، فَدَخَلَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ قَبْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ، فَلَمَسَ الْغَارَ، لِيَنْظُرَ أَفِيهِ سَبُعٌ أَوْ حَيَّةٌ، يَقِي رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ بِنَفْسِهِ
Translation
✧ [The story of the Messenger ﷺ with Abū Bakr in the cave] Ibn Isḥāq said: When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ resolved to leave, he came to Abū Bakr b. Abī Quḥāfah, and they both went out through a small door in the back of Abū Bakr's house. Then he made for a cave in Thawr, a mountain at the lower part of Makkah, and they entered it. Abū Bakr ordered his son ʿAbdallāh b. Abī Bakr to listen during the day to what people were saying about them, then to come to them when evening fell with the news of that day; and he ordered ʿĀmir b. Fuhayrah, his freedman, to pasture his sheep during the day, then to rest them near them, coming to them when evening fell in the cave. Asmāʾ bt. Abī Bakr used to bring them food when evening fell, with what would set them aright. Ibn Hishām said: Some of the people of knowledge related to me that al-Ḥasan b. Abī al-Ḥasan al-Baṣrī said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ and Abū Bakr reached the cave at night. Abū Bakr ؓ entered before the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he felt around the cave to see whether it contained a beast or a snake, protecting the Messenger of Allah ﷺ with his own person.
