The sign connected with that is the tranquility sent down upon the Prophet which is also apparent in the story of Suraka, Malik's son.
Not only did the blessing of tranquility descend upon the Prophet , but other miracles occurred during his migration.
In an attempt to prevent the Prophet from migrating from Mecca to Medina the Koraysh set out after him and searched the caves of the surrounding mountains of Mecca.
As the Prophet and Abu Bakr took rest in a cave on the steep slopes of Mount Thawr Allah helped him with an unseen army. Allah says, "If you do not help him, Allah will help him as He helped him when he was driven out with one other (Abu Bakr) by the unbelievers. When the two were in the cave, he said to his companion, 'Do not sorrow, Allah is with us.' Then Allah caused His tranquility (sechina) to descend upon him and supported him with legions (of angels) you did not see, and He made the word of the unbelievers the lowest, and the Word of Allah is the highest. Allah is Mighty, Wise" (9:40).
As the Koraysh started to climb the mountain their shouts and the tramping of footsteps grew nearer and could be heard on the ledge directly above the cave. Abu Bakr became alarmed at the thought of being discovered and whispered to the Prophet "If they look under their feet they will see us!"
Allah sent down His tranquility and the Prophet , in his gentle, reassuring manner, consoled Abu Bakr, saying, "What do you think of two people who have Allah with them as their third?" When Abu Bakr heard these words peace descended upon him and his fear vanished.
Shortly after, one of the search party noticed the cave underneath the ledge on which he was standing and peered over to take a better look at it. Another peered over the ledge and agreed that there was no need to inspect it.
These stories are well documented in the quotations of the Prophet that, narrate the events of his migration to Medina.
The chapter "The River of Abundance" reads, "Indeed, We have given you
(Prophet Muhammad) the abundance (Al Kawthar: river, its pool and springs). So pray to your Lord and sacrifice. Surely, he who hates you, he is the most severed" (108:1-4).
