Allah revealed the support of His Prophet in an astounding glorious event when Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallm, and Abu Bakr may Allah raise his rank went to the cave of Thawr to get out of sight. Allah ordered a tree to grow at the mouth of the cave to cover and two wild pigeons were ordered to sit in front of the cave one of which laid eggs. A spider was inspired to weave a web at the mouth of the cave. When the men of Quraysh came holding their staffs and swords, they stood by the cave and looked around and they saw the pigeons with their eggs and spider web. hey figured that if the Prophet and his companion had entered the cave they would have destroyed the eggs and the web, so they turned back and left defeated. What they did not know is that they were fort cubits away from Prophet and his companion.
The cave was priviledged by hosting the Prophet and his companion for Three days. ^Amir Ibn Fuhayrah, Abu Bakr's slave whom he had set free, used to graze his flock next to the cave so that they milk the sheep and drink and ^Abdullah Ibn Al-'Urayqit provided two comels for them and they headed towards Madinah.
Quraysh assigned a great amount of money as a bounty to whoever captures Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, and his companion. Surraqah Ibn Ju^shum was blinded by greed and money, he followed the trails of the migrating Prophet and his companion until he was as close as a spear's measure measure of distance from them. Abu Bakr was scared for the life of the Prophet, but the Prophet comforted him and said calmly: "Allah is with us" that is He supports and protects. The legs of Surraqah's harse sank deep in the sand until its stomach touched the ground while he was still mounting it. He got terrified and realized at that moment that a miracle was taking place to protect a great prophet. He asked the Prophet to make a supplication to Allah asking Him to have the legs of his horse back on the surface of the ground, he promised the Prophet that he would leave abd will not reveal to the men of Quraysh their trails. The Prophet did so and Surraqah left while in shock and honored his promisde; he embraced Islam eighty years after that great event.
The Messenger of Allah, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, migrated to Madinah with Abu Bakr after staying in Makkah for thirteen years calling people to embrace Islam and to believe in one God. The Migration of our beloved and great Prophet Muhammad, sallallahu ^alayhi wa sallam, was neither for money nor for fame but rather in obedience to the orders of Allah and relying on Him. Neither the great number of the blasphemers nor the danger of the trip stopped them from migrating because all they wanted was to obey God. Thus, the plan of the blasphemers failed.
Allah said in the Glorious Qur'an in Surah at-Tawbah, Verse 40
This means: "When you did not support hi, Allah indeed supported him (Prophet Muhammad) when the blasphemers harassed him. He was the second of two (the Prophet and Abu Bakr) while they were in the cave he said to his Companion: "Do not be sad Allah is protecting us"
