CERTAINTY

82

“When the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, and I (Abu Bakr) were in the cave being tracked by the people of Mecca I saw their feet above us outside the cave and I said: ‘Messenger of Allah, praise and peace be upon him, if one of them should happen to look down under his feet he would see us.’ He replied: ‘Abu Bakr, what would you think of two with whom Allah is the Third?’”

Bukhari and Muslim with a chain up to Abu Bakr Siddique who related this.
