Hadith 5

Sahih Bukhari

Book 62: Companions of the Prophet

Chapter 2

The virtues of the emigrants (i.e., Muhajirin)

باب مَنَاقِبِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَفَضْلِهِمْ

The Statement of Allah تعالى: "(And there is also a share in this booty) for the poor emigrants who were expelled from their homes and their property, seeking bounties from Allah and to please Him. And helping Allah (i.e. helping His religion - Islamic Monotheism), and his Messenger (Muhammad ﷺ) such are indeed the truthful (to what they say)." (V. 59:8) And also the Statement of Allah تعالى: "If you help him (Muhammad ﷺ) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him... (till the end of the Verse)." (V. 9:40) 'Aishah, Abu Sa'id and Ibn 'Abbas رضي الله عنهم said, "Abu Bakr was with the Prophet ﷺ in the cave (of the mountain called Ath-Thur at Makkah)."
مِنْهُمْ أَبُو بَكْرٍ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ التَّيْمِيُّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَقَوْلِ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى: {لِلْفُقَرَاءِ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ الَّذِينَ أُخْرِجُوا مِنْ دِيَارِهِمْ وَأَمْوَالِهِمْ يَبْتَغُونَ فَضْلاً مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرِضْوَانًا وَيَنْصُرُونَ اللَّهَ وَرَسُولَهُ أُولَئِكَ هُمُ الصَّادِقُونَ} وَقَالَ: {إِلاَّ تَنْصُرُوهُ فَقَدْ نَصَرَهُ اللَّهُ} إِلَى قَوْلِهِ: {إِنَّ اللَّهَ مَعَنَا}. قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ وَابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمْ وَكَانَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مَعَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْغَارِ.
Sahih al-Bukhari 3653
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سِنَانٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَمَّامٌ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ قُلْتُ لِلنَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم وَأَنَا فِي الْغَارِ لَوْ أَنَّ أَحَدَهُمْ نَظَرَ تَحْتَ قَدَمَيْهِ لأَبْصَرَنَا‏.‏ فَقَالَ ‏ ‏‏.‏
"‏ مَا ظَنُّكَ يَا أَبَا بَكْرٍ بِاثْنَيْنِ اللَّهُ ثَالِثُهُمَا ‏"
Abu Bakr:

I said to the Prophet (ﷺ) while I was in the Cave. "If any of them should look under his feet, he would see us." He said, "O Abu Bakr! What do you think of two (persons) the third of whom is Allah?"
