1 . There is no Muslim who does not know the importance of this cave, where our beloved Prophet Muhammad (S. A. W.) and his companion Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) stayed for few days to hide themselves from the bad intentions of their enemies who were following them to harm.

2 . After becoming disheartened to the behaviour of Makkah's Kuffar (enemies), Syedna Muhammad (S.A. W.) decided to migrate towards Madina ( then called "YASRAB"). When He (S. A. W.) was travelling towards his destination along with Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA), enemies followed them to kill. Firstly, they both walked over their toes, then Great Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) picked up his beloved and mercy full Prophet over his shoulders so that the footprints of one person instead of two could misguide enemies.

3 . Reaching in to this cave, Syedna Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) cleaned it and filled all holes tearing his lower part of clothing but two holes could not be filled and He (RA) put his feet over them. Abu Bakar Siddiq (RA) kept the head of Prophet (S. A. W.) over his thies and Prophet (S. A. W.) slept for a while. During this time, any snake or reptile from the un filled hole bite on the foot of Syedna Abu bakar Siddiq (RA), but he didn't move himself. He (RA) didn't want to disturb the sleep of his beloved Prophet (S.A.W.). Pain became very severe and un bearable. Two drops of tears fell over the face of Prophet (S.A.W.) from the eyes of Syedna Abu Bakar (RA). Prophet (S. A. W.) woke up and became very happy to see the sacrifice of his companion. Prophet (S. A. W.) applied his spit over the wound and became healed up.

4 . They stayed here for three days and three nights. During their stay once enemies reached to the mouth of the cave. As an human being "Abu Bakar (RA) became worried, but the Prophet (S. A. W.) said, "No need to worry, we two are not alone. Third one is Almighty Allah with us". It is said that one spider put its web over the mouth of cave and pigeons laid eggs on that to miss guide enemies. Enemies realized that it was an old cave and they went from there.
