and, We have covered them so that they do not see."

Koran 36:1-9

Immediately, a deep sleep descended upon the warriors and the Prophet (salla Allahu
alihi wa sallam) passed through their midst without anyone seeing him.

The warriors slept on outside the house of the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) until
someone came and woke them up, asking why they were still there. When they replied
they were waiting for the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) to come out, the man
rebuked them telling them that he had seen the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam)
elsewhere in the City, and told them of the dust in their hair.

The warriors refused to accept the possibility that the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa
sallam) had escaped without their knowledge so they entered the house and found Ali,
who they mistakenly took to be the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam), sleeping
peacefully wrapped in the Prophet's green cloak. After having satisfied themselves that
the Prophet (salla Allahu alihi wa sallam) was still in the house they continued to wait
outside.
