5807. Narrated 'Aishah : رضي الله عنها Some Muslim men emigrated to Ethiopia whereupon Abū Bakr also prepared himself for the emigration, but the Prophet ﷺ said (to him), "Wait, for I hope that Allāh will allow me also to emigrate." Abū Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you. Do you hope that (emigration)?" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." So Abū Bakr waited to accompany the Prophet ﷺ and fed two she-camels he had on the leaves of As-Samur tree regularly for four months. One day while we were sitting in our house at midday, someone said to Abū Bakr, "Here is Allāh's Messenger ﷺ coming with his head and a part of his face covered with a cloth-covering at an hour he never used to come to us." Abū Bakr said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, (O Prophet)! An urgent matter must have brought you here at this hour." The Prophet ﷺ came and asked the permission to enter, and he was allowed. The Prophet ﷺ entered and said to Abū Bakr, "Let those who are with you, go out." Abū Bakr replied, "(There is no stranger) they are your family. Let my father be sacrificed for you, O Allāh's Messenger!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "I have been allowed to leave (Makkah)." Abū Bakr said, "Shall I accompany you, O Allāh's Messenger? Let my father be sacrificed for you!" The Prophet ﷺ said, "Yes." Abū Bakr said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Let my father be sacrificed for
you! Take one of these two she-camels of mine.” The Prophet ﷺ said, “I will take it only after paying its price.” So we prepared their baggage and put their journey food in a leather bag and Asmā’ bint Abī Bakr cut a piece of her girdle belt and tied the mouth of the leather bag with it. That is why she was called Dhāt-an-Nitāqain. Then the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr went to a cave in a Mountain called Thaur and remained there for three nights. ‘Abdullāh bin Abū Bakr, who was a young intelligent man, used to stay with them at night and leave before dawn so that in the morning, he would be with the Quraish at Makkah as if he had spent the night among them. If he heard of any plot contrived by the Quraish against the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr, he would understand it and (return to) inform them of it when it became dark. ‘Āmir bin Fuhaira, the freed slave of Abū Bakr used to graze a flock of milch sheep to them when an hour had passed after the ‘Ishā’ prayer. They would sleep soundly till ‘Āmir bin Fuhaira awakened them when it was still dark. He used to do that in each of those three nights.

5807 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا قَالَتْ: هَاجَرَ نَاسٌ إِلَى الحَبَشَةِ مِنَ المُسْلِمِينَ، وَتَجَهَّزَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُهَاجِرًا، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «عَلَى رِسْلِكَ، فَإِنِّي أَرْجُو أَنْ يُؤْذَنَ لِي» فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَوَتَرْجُوهُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» فَحَبَسَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ نَفْسَهُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِصُحْبَتِهِ، وَعَلَفَ رَاحِلَتَيْنِ كَانَتَا عِنْدَهُ وَرَقَ السَّمُرِ أَرْبَعَةَ أَشْهُرٍ. قَالَ عُرْوَةُ: قَالَتْ عَائِشَةُ: فَبَيْنَا نَحْنُ يَوْمًا جُلُوسٌ فِي بَيْتِنَا فِي نَحْرِ الظَّهِيرَةِ، فَقَالَ قَائِلٌ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: هَذَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مُقْبِلًا مُتَقَنِّعًا، فِي سَاعَةٍ لَمْ يَكُنْ يَأْتِينَا فِيهَا، قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: فِدًا لَكَ أَبِي وَأُمِّي، وَاللَّهِ إِنْ جَاءَ بِهِ فِي هَذِهِ السَّاعَةِ إِلَّا لِأَمْرٍ، فَجَاءَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَاسْتَأْذَنَ فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَدَخَلَ، فَقَالَ حِينَ دَخَلَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ: «أَخْرِجْ مَنْ عِنْدَكَ» قَالَ: إِنَّمَا هُمْ أَهْلُكَ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. قَالَ: «فَإِنِّي قَدْ أُذِنَ لِي فِي الخُرُوجِ» قَالَ: فَالصُّحْبَةُ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «نَعَمْ» قَالَ: فَخُذْ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِحْدَى رَاحِلَتَيَّ هَاتَيْنِ، قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «بِالثَّمَنِ» قَالَتْ: فَجَهَّزْنَاهُمَا أَحَثَّ الجِهَازِ، وَضَعْنَا لَهُمَا سُفْرَةً فِي جِرَابٍ، فَقَطَعَتْ أَسْمَاءُ بِنْتُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ قِطْعَةً مِنْ نِطَاقِهَا، فَأَوْكَأَتْ بِهِ الجِرَابَ، وَلِذَلِكَ كَانَتْ تُسَمَّى ذَاتَ النِّطَاقِ. ثُمَّ لَحِقَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ بِغَارٍ فِي جَبَلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ ثَوْرٌ، فَمَكُثَ فِيهِ ثَلاَثَ لَيَالٍ، يَبِيتُ عِنْدَهُمَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ، وَهُوَ غُلاَمٌ شَابٌّ لَقِنٌ ثَقِفٌ، فَيَرْحَلُ مِنْ عِنْدِهِمَا سَحَرًا، فَيُصْبِحُ مَعَ قُرَيْشٍ بِمَكَّةَ كَبَائِتٍ، فَلاَ يَسْمَعُ أَمْرًا يُكَادَانِ بِهِ إِلَّا وَعَاهُ، حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمَا بِخَبَرِ ذَلِكَ حِينَ يَخْتَلِطُ الظَّلاَمُ، وَيَرْعَى عَلَيْهِمَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ مَوْلَى أَبِي بَكْرٍ مِنْحَةً مِنْ غَنَمٍ، فَيُرِيحُهَا عَلَيْهِمَا حِينَ تَذْهَبُ سَاعَةٌ مِنَ العِشَاءِ، فَيَبِيتَانِ فِي رِسْلِهِمَا حَتَّى يَنْعِقَ بِهَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ بِغَلَسٍ، يَفْعَلُ ذَلِكَ كُلَّ لَيْلَةٍ مِنْ تِلْكَ اللَّيَالِي الثَّلاَثِ
