Three nights in the cave (48)

When the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr arrived at the cave on
Mount Thawr, Abu Bakr entered first to clear away anything that might injure the Prophet ﷺ. He found a few holes and stuffed them with pieces of cloth. The Prophet ﷺ then entered and went to sleep with his head on Abu Bakr’s lap. Suddenly, something stung Abu Bakr’s foot, but he did not even twitch, fearing he would wake the Prophet ﷺ . The pain was so intense that tears began to run down his cheeks and onto the Prophet’s ﷺ face. The Prophet ﷺ woke up and saw that Abu Bakr was in pain. He then applied his spittle on the injury and the pain disappeared.

For three consecutive nights the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr
remained hidden in the cave. During this period, Abu Bakr’s son, Abdullah, would pass his nights nearby. The clever young man would return to Makkah so early in the morning that the Quraysh had no idea that he had slept elsewhere.

Each day in Makkah he collected information about the activities of the Quraysh, and each night he updated the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr. Abu Bakr’s slave, Amir bin Fuhayrah , would graze Abu Bakr’s goats near the cave so that both men could drink fresh milk.

Early the next morning Amir would drive the goats back to Makkah along the same route that Abu Bakr’s son took, to obscure his footprints. Meanwhile the search party scoured the area south of
Makkah where the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr were hiding.

Once the Quraysh even came upon the mouth of the cave, and had they looked down while standing at the edge of the cave , they would surely have found the men they were hunting. With the Quraysh so close to discovering their hiding place, Abu Bakr became very tense about the Prophet’s safety.

The Prophet ﷺ reassured him, “How can you be apprehensive about two with whom is a third, especially when the third is Allah ”

On the way to Madinah On the first night of Rabi’ Al-Awwal, Abdullah bin Uraqat Laythi, the guide hired by the Prophet ﷺ to take them to Yathrib arrived in the valley of Mount Thawr with Abu Bakr’s two camels.

Abu Bakr’s slave, Amir bin Fahayra, accompanied them. The guide first headed south toward Yemen, and then led the small group westward toward the Red Sea. Before reaching the sea, he veered north toward Yathrib, taking a seldom travelled route.

They journeyed all night and half of the next day. Then they
stopped, and the Prophet ﷺ rested in the shade beneath a rock. Meanwhile, Abu Bakr found a herdsman who let him milk one of his goats . When the Prophet ﷺ awoke, Abu Bakr gave him fresh milk . Then they pushed ahead.

Perhaps it was the next day that the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr passed the tent of Umm Ma’bad on the outskirts of Qadid, near Mashaal, about 130 km from Makkah . They asked her whether she had anything for four weary travellers. She apologised, saying her goats were grazing far away, and the only one at hand was a small goat that was unable to stay with the herd and didn’t have a drop of milk to give .

The Prophet ﷺ asked for permission to milk it, and when he did, milk flowed from its udders. He filled a large bowl with milk and first let her drink. After that, each of the travellers drank their fill. When they had all finished, he milked the goat again and left the bowl of milk for the woman.

۞ وَمَا مِن دَآبَّةٍ فِى ٱلْأَرْضِ إِلَّا عَلَى ٱللَّهِ رِزْقُهَا وَيَعْلَمُ مُسْتَقَرَّهَا وَمُسْتَوْدَعَهَا ۚ كُلٌّ فِى كِتَٰبٍ مُّبِينٍ

And there is no creature on earth but that upon Allah is its provision, and He knows its place of dwelling and place of storage. All is in a clear register. [11:6]

Sword-beaked hummingbirds in the Ecuadorian rainforest..⁣
It is one of the largest hummingbirds and is distinguished by its long beak. It is the only bird in the world whose beak is longer than the rest of its body! Therefore, he can only clean himself by relying on his feet

وَرَبُّكَ يَخْلُقُ مَا يَشَآءُ وَيَخْتَارُ ۗ مَا كَانَ لَهُمُ ٱلْخِيَرَةُ ۚ سُبْحَٰنَ ٱللَّهِ وَتَعَٰلَىٰ عَمَّا يُشْرِكُونَ

And your Lord creates what He wills and chooses; not for them was the choice. Exalted is Allah and high above what they associate with Him. [28:68]

Leaving home (47)

Jibreel brings the Prophet ﷺ happy news

Meanwhile, Jibreel came to the Prophet ﷺ with the tidings that Allah had ordered the Prophet ﷺ to migrate. Jibreel told him the exact time he should depart and informed the Prophet ﷺ of the plot to assassinate him. “Don’t sleep in the bed you usually sleep in,” he advised the Prophet .

At noon, when everyone was napping, the Prophet ﷺ went
to the house of Abu Bakr Siddeeq and told him the happy news. Quickly, they began to prepare both camels for the long journey. They also hired Abdullah bin Urayqat Laythi to lead them to Yathrib. Abdullah knew the area between Makkah and Yathrib well, and although he was not Muslim, he agreed to escort the Prophet ﷺ and Abu Bakr secretly. The Prophet told Abdullah to meet them near Mount Thawr in three nights, Meanwhile, the Prophet began to engage himself in day to day activities so that no one would suspect that he was about to leave Makkah.

The Prophet ﷺ used to go to sleep after the evening prayer,
and upon waking up around midnight he would go to the Ka’bah to perform supplimentary (Tahajjud) prayers. The night the Prophet ﷺ was to leave, he asked Ali to sleep in his bed after assuring him that no harm would come to him. When everyone had gone to bed, the assassins surrounded the Prophet’s house.

They saw Ali wrapped in the Prophet’s green mantle, lying in the Prophet’s bed, and thought that he was Muhammad . The plan was for them to lie in wait for the Prophet ﷺ and fall upon him when he came out of his house . The Quraysh were unaware that just as they were plotting, Allah too was plotting:

“Remember how the unbelievers plotted against you to imprison you, to kill you, or to exile you from Makkah. They plot and plan, but Allah plans too, and the best of planners is Allah.” (8: 30)

Although Ali was in the Prophet’s bed, the Prophet ﷺ
himself was still in the house surrounded by the assassins. The Prophet ﷺ came out of his house and took a handful of dust which he sprinkled above the young boys’ heads while reciting the following verse:

“I have placed a barrier in front of them and a barrier behind them. I have covered them so they cannot see.” (39: 9)

The youths did not see the Prophet ﷺ leave. He went swiftly to Abu Bakr and together they travelled, not toward Yathrib, but in the opposite direction toward Yemen. Before dawn, they had covered a distance of about five miles, and then they took refuge in a cave on Mount Thawr .

Unaware of the Prophet’s escape, the would-be assassins
continued to wait for him to come out of his house . Only at dawn when Ali woke and came out did they realise that they had been tricked. They interrogated Ali about the Prophet’s whereabouts, but he pleaded ignorance. They then dragged him to the Ka’bah and kept him captive there, but he divulged nothing. Then they rushed to Abu Bakr’s house and found that he had also disappeared. However, they did find his daughter, Asmaa, who refused to tell them anything. Her calm defiance enraged them, and a furious Abu Jahl slapped her so hard that an ear-ring flew from her ear .

The Quraysh began searching for the Prophet ﷺ and Abu
Bakr and annoucned that there was a reward of one hundred camels for each fugitive brought back dead or alive.

2021-08-24 20:48:24 Peace of mind is a blessing that is greater than all blessings; they transform joys into happiness and afflictions into satisfaction, because who satisfies Allah by obeying Him, Allah makes him satisfied with what He has destined.

طمأنينة النفس نعمة أعظم من كل النعم، تجعل الأفراح سعادة، والآلام رضا، لأن من أرضى الله بطاعته أرضاه الله على أقداره
