2263. Narrated 'Āishah رضي الله عنها : The Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr employed a (Mushrik) man from the tribe of Banī Ad-Dail and the tribe of Banī 'Abd bin 'Adī as a guide. He was an expert guide and he broke the oath contract which he had to abide by with the tribe of Al-'Āshī bin Wā'il, and he was on the religion of Quraish pagans (Mushrikun). The Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr had confidence in him and gave him their riding camels and told him to bring them to the cave of Thaur after three days. So he brought them their two riding camels after three days, and both of them (the Prophet ﷺ and Abū Bakr) set out accompanied by 'Āmir bin Fuhaira and the Daili guide who guided them below Makkah along the road leading to the sea-shore.

2263 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى، أَخْبَرَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا: " وَاسْتَأْجَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ رَجُلًا مِنْ بَنِي الدِّيلِ، ثُمَّ مِنْ بَنِي عَبْدِ بْنِ عَدِيٍّ هَادِيًا خِرِّيتًا - الخِرِّيتُ: المَاهِرُ بِالهِدَايَةِ - قَدْ غَمَسَ يَمِينَ حِلْفٍ فِي آلِ العَاصِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ، وَهُوَ عَلَى دِينِ كُفَّارِ قُرَيْشٍ، فَأَمِنَاهُ فَدَفَعَا إِلَيْهِ رَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا، وَوَاعَدَاهُ غَارَ ثَوْرٍ بَعْدَ ثَلاَثِ لَيَالٍ، فَأَتَاهُمَا بِرَاحِلَتَيْهِمَا صَبِيحَةَ لَيَالٍ ثَلاَثٍ، فَارْتَحَلاَ وَانْطَلَقَ مَعَهُمَا عَامِرُ بْنُ فُهَيْرَةَ، وَالدَّلِيلُ الدِّيلِيُّ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِمْ أَسْفَلَ مَكَّةَ وَهُوَ طَرِيقُ السَّاحِلِ "
