Shortly after, one of the search party noticed the cave underneath the ledge on which he
was standing. He peered over to take a better look and as he did, he noticed a very
large spider's web covering the entrance to the cave, and thought it would be a complete
waste of time and effort to climb down to check the cave. After all, he thought, if there
had been someone in the cave the cobweb would have been broken. The bounty
hunters agreed and left not knowing how close they had been to the Prophet (salla
Allahu alihi wa sallam) and his Companion.

Two days had now passed but this time when Abdullah returned to the cave he brought
news of the reward that had been offered. Abu Bakr then told his son that the next time
he came, he should bring Abdullah, Uraiquit’s son to guide them on to Yathrib and that
they should also bring enough provisions for the journey and their camels. Although
Abdullah, Uraiquit’s son had not yet embraced Islam, Abu Bakr knew him to be not only
reliable, but trustworthy and was confident he would never betray them.
