According to documents from Islamic and historical sources, the Prophet (saas) left his home on 27 Safar, fourteen years after Allah had bestowed prophethood upon him, and went to Abu Bakr's (ra) house. Later, they left Mecca together. Our Prophet (saas) knew that his enemies would first look for him on the northern road to Madinah. Therefore, they took the southern road leading to Yemen. After walking about 6 kilometres (5 miles), they came to the Thawr Mountain, which was high as well as difficult and dangerous to climb. They hid in a cave located in the mountain known as Athal. 48
In the meantime, the Quraysh blocked all of the roads and stationed armed men to control them. Men on foot and mounts combed the mountain slopes and valleys, searching for footprints. When they came right up to the cave's mouth, the Prophet Muhammad (saas) put his whole trust in Allah:
If you do not help him, Allah did help him when the unbelievers drove him out and there were two of them in the cave. He said to his companion: "Do not be despondent, Allah is with us." Then Allah sent down His serenity upon him and reinforced him with troops you could not see. He made the word of the unbelievers undermost. (Surat at-Tawba: 40)
Allah tells in the Qur'an that our Prophet (saas) submitted to Allah and was resigned to his fate. But the Lord assisted him, in return for his excellent moral character and trust, by granting him physical health and strength and a sense of security and well-being in his heart.
Many people might consider such a dangerous situation superficially, without feeling the anxiety of that moment, for those who are not targets cannot know such anxiety. For example, those who have never been pursued by an enemy cannot know the wakeful vigilance of our Prophet (saas) as he hid in mortal danger in the cave. It is very important for everyone with faith to think carefully about this situation in order to appreciate properly our Prophet's (saas) great self-sacrifice, patience, and wisdom.
But, as in other situations throughout his life, here too Allah miraculously delivered our Prophet (saas). When the Meccans finally reached the cave's mouth, they saw a spider's web at its entrance and that pigeons had made their nests and laid eggs there. So, thinking that no one was inside, they began to look elsewhere. Indeed, when we think of it, such an undisturbed spider's web could have been taken as a sign that no one was inside, for anyone entering it would have broken the web. The same is true with the pigeons. Certainly this was a miracle of Allah, the all-powerful ruler of all things, Who caused the spider to weave its web and placed the pigeons at the cave's entrance. Nothing happened to our Prophet (saas) or Abu Bakr (ra).
Another miracle is how Allah supported him with invisible armies and gave him a sense of inner security and well-being. According to the commentaries, the armies put under the command of the Prophet Muhammad (saas) consisted of angels. Indeed on the last part of Surat at-Tawba it is stated: "Then Allah sent down His serenity upon him and reinforced him with troops you could not see. He made the word of the unbelievers' undermost. It is the word of Allah that is uppermost. Allah is mighty and all-wise." In the Tafsir of Jalalayn, this miracle is interpreted as follows:
Allah says "if you do not help him," that is, it does not matter if you did not help Prophet Muhammad (saas), for Allah helped him, just as he helped him when "the unbelievers drove him out, the second of two." This refers to the year when the polytheists intended to kill the Prophet (saas), so he escaped from them, along with his Companion Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (ra). They concealed themselves in the cave of Thawr for three nights, with the enemy prowling around in great numbers, fruitlessly searchind for them. This was when Abu Bakr (ra) felt afraid, lest the unbelievers would find and harm them. However, the Prophet (saas) was certain of Allah's protection and support, and so reassured Abu Bakr (ra).
On the authority of Anas (ra), Imam Ahmad reported that Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (ra) said: "I was with the Prophet (saas) in the cave and, on seeing the traces of the pagans, said: 'O Messenger of Allah, if one of them should lift his foot, he will see us.' He replied: 'What do you think? For two (people), the third (of whom) is Allah?'" Al-Bukhari and Muslim also reported the same hadith.
Therefore Allah says, "then Allah sent his sakina upon him" that is, He sent His peace, tranquillity, and support upon His Messenger (saas) and "supported him with forces you saw not": angels. As for the verse "and made the word of the unbelievers while it was the Word of Allah that became uppermost," Ibn Abbas said: "The word of the unbeliever refers to associating partners with Allah, while the word of Allah refers to 'La ilaha illa Allah.'" 49
The Lord helped our Prophet (saas) with many miracles, defended him with angels, comforted his heart, and prevented his enemies from harming him. Allah protects, defends, and watches; He is the best of helpers and all power belongs to Him.
Our Prophet (saas) accomplished everything with Allah's help:
If they intend to deceive you, Allah is enough for you. He supported you with His help and with the believers. (Surat al-Anfal: 62)
But if you support one another against him, Allah is his Protector, and so are Gabriel and every right-acting believer. Furthermore, angels also will come to his support. (Surat al-Tahrim: 4)
Allah will certainly help those who help Him – Allah is All-Strong, Almighty. (Surat al-Hajj: 40)
... and so that Allah may help you greatly. (Surat al-Fath: 40)
... and other things you love: support from Allah and imminent victory. Give good news to the belivers. (Surat as-Saff: 13)
The unbelievers did not properly understand our Prophet's (saas) superiority and so were unable to appreciate that He is the sole Ruler over everything. They were very wrong to think that our Prophet (saas) could be defeated while under Allah's protection. Thus, they entered a struggle that could only to result in their defeat:
Allah reveals another verse that no one can harm our Prophet (saas) and that Allah, Gabriel, angels, and sincere believers are his friends, helpers, and supporters:
If the two of you would only turn to Allah, for your hearts clearly deviated ... But if you support one another against him, Allah is his Protector and so are Gabriel and every right-acting believer. Furthermore, angels also will come to his support. (Surat al-Tahrim: 4) The Lord protects and supports our
