At the same time, the Prophet sent Ali bin Abi Talib to wear a green coat and sleeping on mattresses Prophet Muhammad. Prophet Muhammad asked Ali that he lived first in Mecca to complete the various needs and trust the people, before implementing hijrah.


Meanwhile, the youths who had been prepared Quraish, from a crack, peering into the bed of the Prophet SAW. They saw a body on that bed and they were satisfied that the person they seek has not been run.

According to Martin Lings in Muhammad: The Lives of the Prophet Based on Classical sources, the youth of Quraysh who was chosen to kill the Prophet Muhammad that have agreed to meet outside the gates of the Prophet's house at nightfall.

By late evening, the Prophet went out towards the residence of Abu Bakr after he read a sura that is named with the opening sentence, Yasin. When it comes to the phrase, "And, we have put in front of their wall and the wall behind them as well and we closed (the eye) so they can not see." (Surah Yasin [36]: 9).

Then, the Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr came out through the back door window and continue heading to the south, toward Yemen, toward Cave Tsur. This was done to deceive the youth of Quraysh. They closed all routes to Medina. These young men planning to attack the Prophet at that time.

Abdullah ordered to supervise the movements of Quraysh in the afternoon and told the circumstances surrounding the cave at night. Amir bin Fuhaira charge of preparing the vehicle for the Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr, Asma while on duty to deliver food to the cave.

In the meantime, the Quraish continue to look for the presence of Rasulullah tirelessly. In addition to seeking to place, some of them have come to Cave Tsur. Not far from Cave Tsur, they met a shepherd (according to some history, pastoralists it is Amir bin Fuhaira), who then asked. "Maybe they were in the cave, but I do not see anyone there."

Then, the people of Quraish came up the cave. But, then, there are down again. "Why do not you see into the cave?" Asked his friends. "There are cobwebs on the spot that was already present before Muhammad was born," he replied. "I saw two pigeons in the woods hole cave. So, I know no one there, "cried another.

Meanwhile, Abu Bakr was worried if their existence be known to the Quraish. The Prophet said, "Do not be afraid, God is with us." (Surah Al-Anfal [9]: 40).

Miracle cave
In front of the mouth of the Cave Tsur, there are cobwebs, pigeon nests, and the acacia tree branch that hung down to the cave. Acacia tree is described by Martin Lings has a height of approximately half the height of man. Then, they went to leave the cave.

Still according to Lings, the gap between the tree and the wall of the cave there is a spider that had made its nest. Then, in the hole cave-where someone might go if you want to get into the cave, there was a nesting pigeon and was sitting as if incubating eggs. Meanwhile, the male partner is keeping the female is incubating her eggs near the tree that leads to the cave.

Cobweb, two pigeons, and the acacia tree is a miracle as told by the history books about the Prophet's life in a cave hideout problem Tsur it. Seeing this condition, people are moving and looking Quraish Prophet elsewhere.

In connection with this miracle, the French writer Emile Dermenghem in his work entitled La Vie de Mahomet said, "Three events alone is a miracle as told by the history of a truly Islamic: cobwebs, hinggapnya pigeons, and the growth of trees. Third miracle every day this equation always exist on earth. "

Story Suraqah
 
As for other events also give the significance of the pilgrimage the Prophet Muhammad, the chase is done by Suraqah bin Malik bin Ja'syam. He intends to capture the Prophet Muhammad and Abu Bakr, then turn them over to the Quraish as tempted by the lure of which is given when to catch Rasul SAW.

However, had not approached the Apostles, his horse slipped and he fell. It happened repeatedly until he finally apologized and admitted frankly his actions to arrest the Prophet Muhammad as tempted by the large rewards promised by the infidels of Quraish. The Apostle then forgave him.
