Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will fight a holy battle, and it will be said, ‘Is there amongst you anyone who has enjoyed the company of the Companions of Allah’s Messenger #¢?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ And so victory will be bestowed on them. Then a time will come upon the people when a group of people will fight a holy battle, and it will be said, ‘Is there amongst you anyone who has enjoyed the company of the companions of the Companions of Allah’s Messenger 3?’ They will say, ‘Yes.’ And victory will be bestowed on them.”

he mentioned two or three centuries (generations) after his century (generation), then the Prophet # added, “There will come after you, people who will bear witness without being asked to give witness, and they will be dishonest and not trustworthy, and they will vow and will not fulfil their vows ; and fatness will appear arnong them.’” [See Vol. 3, Hadith No .2651].

3651.

And also the Statement of Allah Jw:

“If you help him (Muhammad #) not (it does not matter), for Allah did indeed help him... (till the end of the Verse).” (V.9 :40)

‘Aishah , Abi Sa‘id and Ibn ‘Abbas 4! -,3; ees Said, “Abi Bakr was with the Prophet in the cave (of the mountain called Ath-Thir at Makkah).”

3652. Narrated Al-Bara’: Abt Bakr 2,25 “z ‘i! bought a (camel) saddle from ‘Azib for thirteen Dirham. Aba Bakr said to ‘Azib, “Tell Al-Bara’ to carry the saddle for me.” ‘Azib said, “No, unless you relate to me what happened to you and Allah’s Messenger # when you left Makkah while Al-Mushrikun were in search of you.” Abt Bakr said, ““We left Makkah and we travelled continuously for that night and the following day till it was midday. I looked (around) searching for shade to take as shelter, and suddenly I came across a rock, and found a little shade there. So I cleaned the place and spread a bed for the Prophet #¢ in the shade and said to him, ‘Lie down, O Allah’s Messenger.’ So the Prophet #% lay down and I went out, looking around to see if there was any person pursuing us. Suddenly I saw a shepherd driving his sheep towards the rock, seeking what we had already sought from it. I asked him, “To whom do you belong, O boy” He said, ‘I belong to a man from Quraish. He named the man and I recognized him. I asked him, ‘Is there any milk with your sheep?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ I said, “Will you then milk (some) for us?’ He said, ‘Yes.’ Then I asked him to tie the legs of one of the ewe and clean its udder, and then ordered him to clean his hands from dust. Then the shepherd cleaned his hands by striking his hands against one another. After doing so, he milked a small amount of milk. I used to

Then I took the milk to the Prophet #£, whom I found awake. I said to him, ‘Drink, © Allah’s Messenger.’ So he drank till I became pleased. Then I said, ‘It is trme for us to move, O Allah’s Messenger!’ He said, ‘Yes.’ So we set out while the people (i.e., Quraish Mushrikiin) were searching for us, but none found us except Suraga bin Malik bin Ju‘shum who was riding his horse. I said, ‘These are our pursuers who have found us, O Allah’s Messenger!’ He said, ‘Do not be sad (or afraid), surely, Allah is with us.” [See Vol. 4, Hadith No.3615}.

3653. Narrated Aba Bakr 2 41 225: I said to the Prophet # while I was in the cave, “If any of them should look under his feet, he would see us.” He said, “O Abia Bakr! What do you think of two (persons) the third of whom is Allah?”
